“A hydrating, shiny lip balm with a unique cooling sensation that leaves lips feeling fuller, supple-soft, and extra cushiony.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera microcristallina, phenyl trimethicone.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
