Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Waxy, emollient balm or oil — melts on contact with lip temperature
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionSlow
Tackiness / ResidueNoticeable
Finish:Smooth, protected — waxy barrier that softens on contact

Waxy, emollient — melts at lip temperature for comfortable wear. Silicones create a smooth, velvety "slip" with a blurring sensory effect. Slight initial tackiness that fades into a hydrated dewy finish.
