“Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm in bestselling shade Nearly Mauve joins With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm in a brand-new, set-exclusive shade, Sincere (rose mauve) for laid-back looks with serious hydration your lips are bound to love.”
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).
