Softlips® Naturals Lip Balm is built on a technology-based system that provides up to 8-hours of hydration, plus 100% natural ingredients to take care of different needs for your lips. Each Softlips® Naturals lip balm is formulated with a special blend of nourishing plant-based oils (Sacha Inchi oil, Argan oil, and Green Tea oil), with a plant based film former derived from Tung (China wood) and Rapeseed Oils for extended moisturization. These ingredients incorporate antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and emollient properties for naturally healthy, soft and beautiful looking lips.
