What is this product?

An occlusive, wax-and-butter lip mask (shea butter, beeswax, candelilla wax, polybutene) meant for overnight use on dry, flaking lips, with a scented, ginger-and-sugar-adjacent positioning; fragrance is in all three archived ingredient statements, while the declared allergens limonene, linalool and citral are in two of the three. Choose it for a heavy-duty sleep lip treatment. Of the four ingredients a brand-cited composition claim names, shea butter and beeswax are present and trehalose supports the 'sugar' wording, but murumuru butter appears in none of the statements, so that part of the claim is not carried forward as fact. Three different retail ingredient statements and at least three different stated package sizes are on file without a resolution of which is current, so exact composition and size should be confirmed at purchase.

What makes it different?

An unusually dense occlusive-wax stack for a lip product in this tier: counting wax and wax-like film formers over the tokenisation of the adopted Korean ingredient statement gives six, at positions 1, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 19 (polybutene, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene, beeswax, candelilla wax, ozokerite). That count is over the adopted statement's tokens only, not over the archive's prose or its other two ingredient statements, and the archive holds three non-identical ingredient statements for this product name that were not resolved to a single current formula.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
