Ingredients and how they matter
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — a lightweight emollient that helps the pencil glide while creating a smooth, comfortable feel on the lips. It assists in spreading color evenly and reduces drag as you apply.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil — provides slip for a smooth application and helps lock in moisture so the line stays intact longer.
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter — nourishes lips with natural emollients, contributing to a soft, comfortable lip line.
Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax and Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax — create structure in the pencil for defined lines and a stable semi-matte finish.
Mica — adds color depth and shimmer control, helping color payoff appear rich and even.
Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax — provides texture and helps the lip liner hold its shape during wear.
Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil — contributes to slip and a nourishing feel, helping color glide without pulling.
Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil — delivers long-lasting slip and conditioning for comfortable wear.
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil — rich in fatty acids to help soften the lips and maintain moisture.
Glyceryl Caprylate — helps blend ingredients smoothly and conditions the lip surface.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C ester) — provide antioxidant benefits and help protect lips from environmental stressors while supporting moisture retention.
