“WHAT IS IT? Achieve deliciously luscious lips with the MCo Beauty GLOW UP PH LIP BALM, featuring an ultra-hydrating sheer tint formula that adapts to the natural colour of your lips, creating your perfect shade.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, copernicia cerifera wax.
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).
