Sugar buffs away the dry flakes that lipstick catches on, and the oils underneath — coconut, cocoa butter, sweet almond — stay behind so your lips aren't left bare. A touch of mica gives it the gilded finish. Naturally flavored and sweetened, because a lip product should taste like something you'd want near your mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Contains sweet almond oil (tree nut) and manuka honey.\u003c\/strong\u003e Please read the allergen information below before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Actives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSucrose (Sugar)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the polish itself.

Naturally flavored with sunflower-oil-carried natural flavors and sweetened with stevia. You will taste it, which is the point, and it is formulated so that the small amount that inevitably gets licked off is nothing to worry about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry, flaking, or chapped lips. Anyone whose lipstick or gloss catches on rough patches. Good in winter, good after a cold, good any time lips have stopped responding to balm alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNot for you if you have a tree nut allergy or a honey or bee product allergy.

Flakes lift as the sugar dissolves, and the cocoa butter and oils absorb rather than sitting on top, so lips are left soft instead of greasy. Colour goes on more evenly afterward, which is why most people end up using this before makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGive it a quick stir with a clean fingertip. The oils settle a little between uses, and stirring brings the sugar and butter back into balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScoop a small amount with a clean fingertip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMassage gently onto lips in small circles. Light pressure — lip skin is thin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep going until it absorbs. The sugar dissolves as you work and the oils sink in, leaving lips soft rather than coated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you've used a generous scoop, there may be a little left over — wipe it away with a tissue or damp cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow with balm if lips still feel like they want it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUse once or twice a week.

It is not food, and it should not be eaten from the jar, but you do not need to worry about what ends up on your tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI have a nut allergy. Can I use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    No. It contains sweet almond oil, and almond is a tree nut. On a lip product this matters more than it would on a body product, because small amounts are ingested. Please skip this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    No. It contains manuka honey. It is cruelty-free and never tested on animals, but it is not vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mica for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    A soft gilded shimmer, and nothing else. It is not a colorant and it will not tint your lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Once or twice a week. Lip skin is thin and delicate — exfoliating more often gives you nothing and can leave lips sore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore or after balm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Before. Polish first, let it absorb, then balm on smooth lips if you want it. Most people use it in the morning before colour goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe oils look like they've settled on top. Is that normal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Completely. Sugar is heavier than oil, so a little settling between uses is expected in any anhydrous scrub — it is not separation and nothing has gone wrong. A quick stir with a clean fingertip brings it back together, which is why that is step one. In a warm room the whole thing softens and looks looser; in a cold one it firms up. Neither is a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the shelf life?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    12 months from production, stored away from heat and direct sun. Keep water out of the jar.
