Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim
Not delivered
What the product description says
“Whipped Pumpkin Latte and Autumn Apple Cider Stick Lip Balm”
From product name

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
