MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 10 moreGood evidence
“What It Is Dive into your most luxurious lip treat with Lipstick Queen's Lip Restore Balm, a hydrating balm that forms a barrier on the lip to lock in hydration and help repair dryness.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
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).
