“Creamy and cooling, the Balmelicious Peppermint and Vanilla Organic Lip Balm from VOYA seeks to hydrate and protect dry skin for irresistibly smoother-looking lips.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, cera alba.
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).
