What they flagged

  • Not a top-tier pick among lip balms

What the gurus are saying

This balm delivers a smooth, reflective shine thanks to its synthetic emollients and propylene glycol dicaprylate, which create that luxury feel without silicone. One reviewer praises its fragrance-free formula and suggests layering it as a final step after moisturizer to help brighten the lip area and protect against irritation. However, while another expert found it gives a glass-skin glow and works beautifully on other skin areas too, she notes it doesn't crack her personal top five, so it lands as a solid choice rather than a standout.

"This is the Vegan Melting Lip Balm. We've got propylene glycol dicaprylate which is basically a synthetic ingredient that's used like a silicone replacement. It gives you that sort of smooth luxury feeling. It's also got a high reflective quality which I think would even work as your highlighter on your cheekbones as well as on your lips. So you get that shine and it's full of emollients which are basically your skin conditioners. And it's fragrance safe, no alcohol, no fragrance, no essential oils. You can pop this on at night time as a sleep mask, especially if you're getting chapped lips or angular cheilitis. Put it on your lips and around the lips as well, especially if you're getting darkening around the lip area. Pop this on when you wash your face, put your moisturizer on, then put this on as a last step on your lips and around the lip area. It's going to help brighten around the lip area because saliva has amulets in it that eat carbohydrates including skin cells, which can lead to irritation around the lip area."

"These are literally a vegan melting lip butter and what's amazing about this is that even though it's in a stick form you apply it like a stick but it ends up feeling ultra hydrating almost like you applied a lip oil. That's the best way I could describe this is like a stick lip oil. It goes on like a stick so it's really easy to control, really easy to apply, but when you have it on it melts down into like this butter consistency and it's not a greasy butter, it's not an overwhelming butter. What I love about this color version is yes it's still vegan, and because it's in a stick you can actually decide exactly where you want it to go so like if you wanted to give yourself one of those little fake lip filler type looks with a nice little Cupid's bow, it's basically a lip balm that you have that control over. This is perfect for your no makeup makeup days. It has a little bit of a tint to it, like it's not a lipstick but it works so well and I find that I don't have to constantly reapply this."

Is This The Ordinary Of Korea?! I Tried Minimalist Bean Based Skincare From MIXSOON on STYLE KOREAN
"This formula has shea butter, it has sunflowers, it has a bunch of plant-based waxes, it has no fragrance or colors. [...] I absolutely use this on other areas of my skin now. They do have a tinted version as well if you want a little tint. [...] If you're looking for a vegan melting K Beauty lip balm, look at this, it gives my lips the K Beauty glass skin glow, this is fantastic, and it doesn't taste funky. But I wouldn't say it's in like my top five based on my experience."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
