“Infused with ultra-hydrating Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Coconut Oil and Aloe Leaf Extract, the nourishing formula goes on green and reacts to your lip's unique PH level creating your perfect pink shade.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, cocos nucifera oil.
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).
