What does the product description say?
"Enriched with organic Grape Water, the milky-textured mist deeply soothes and moisturises skin, while its water-resistant properties means it won’t budge with sweat, tears or humidity."
From: Lookfantastic

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might need to use another lip product on top.
