Tower 28 Beauty JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balm
Works for
MoisturizingBis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 9 moreWorks
“Why we love it: Tower 28 JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balm is formulated with a nourishing shea butter base, each shade is made with food-grade ingredients derived from fresh produce like mango seed oil, vitamin E, and vitamin C.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter.
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).
