This multi-tasking lip balm blends skincare and color in a smooth, non-sticky formula. Enriched with 83% skincare ingredients—most notably 12% squalane—plus shea butter, jojoba oil, and ceramides, it provides lasting moisture and a glossy finish. Shade 21 "Throwing Beige" offers a wearable neutral that enhances natural lip tone and layers well under or over other lip products.

How quickly will I see smoother, hydrated lips?

The formula is designed for immediate comfort and progressive improvement. You get instant hydration and shine the moment you apply it, with visible texture and moisture-barrier benefits reported within a week of regular use.

• Immediate: glossy, cushiony feel on application.
• Short term: reduced appearance of vertical lines in days with consistent use.
• Ongoing: ingredients like ceramides and squalane support the lip moisture barrier over time.

What makes the Squalane-12 Butterglow formula different?

The balm focuses on a high proportion of skincare-forward ingredients rather than being just a tinted gloss. With 12% squalane plus plant-derived oils and butter, it targets hydration, nourishment, and barrier support while maintaining a lightweight texture.

• 12% squalane: replenishes moisture and helps lips feel supple.
• Shea butter & jojoba oil: provide emollient nourishment and smoothness.
• Ceramides: help reinforce the lip surface for lasting comfort.

How pigmented is Shade 21 Throwing Beige and how should I wear it?

Throwing Beige is a buildable neutral that can be worn sheer or intensified with extra layers. It’s formulated to flatter a wide range of skin tones and to pair easily with other makeup—use alone for a natural glossy look or layer for added opacity.

• Single layer: subtle wash of beige with luminous shine.
• Multiple layers: deeper, more defined color while keeping a glossy finish.
• As a base: works under lipstick to boost moisture and extend comfort.

Is this balm comfortable for all-day wear and quick touch-ups?

Yes—its lightweight, non-sticky texture makes it ideal for frequent reapplication without heaviness. The glide-on formula is travel-friendly and designed for easy, mess-free touch-ups throughout the day.

• Non-sticky finish: avoids tackiness common in heavier balms.
• Portable packaging: fits into small bags and pockets for on-the-go use.
• Fast application: smooth coverage in a single swipe or built up as needed.
