What makes the Squalane-12 Butterglow formula different?

The formula emphasizes skincare ingredients rather than just pigment or wax. With 12% squalane and supportive fats like shea and jojoba, plus ceramides, it replenishes lip surface oils and helps restore barrier resilience without weighing lips down.

• 12% squalane for lightweight, long-lasting emollience.
• Shea butter and jojoba oil to nourish and soften texture.
• Ceramides to support the lip barrier and moisture retention.
• 83% total skincare content for a treatment-like balm experience.

How pigmented is shade 26 DON'T BE CHAI and how do I build color?

Shade 26 is crafted as a versatile, warm neutral that flatters many skin tones. Apply a single layer for a subtle flush of color and glossy finish; overlay additional layers to intensify saturation and shine without becoming cakey.

• Sheer first pass for daytime natural looks.
• Multiple layers for deeper, more saturated color and high gloss.
• Works alone or over lipstick as a glossing, hydrating topper.
• 14-shade range available to mix or match with your complexion.
