Melting on Lips, Unwinding the Mind
It is said that in the past, geisha in Kyoto would gently melt candy on their lips to create a glossy appearance. The texture of this balm, which melts at body temperature, envelops the lips gently, reminiscent of a quiet and fulfilling moment where tension simply fades away. Inspired by this special sensation, 'Tatcha Melting Lip Balm' provides a smooth, melting comfort upon contact.
High-Quality Moisture and Translucent Glow from a Skincare Perspective
The lips, which have thin stratum corneum and almost no sebaceous or sweat glands, are delicate parts prone to dryness and external irritation. Furthermore, aging can lead to a loss of firmness and increased dryness. Focusing on these characteristics, Tatcha Melting Lip Balm is luxuriously formulated with carefully selected skincare ingredients. On the lips, the balm turns into a smooth oil, replenishing necessary oils and enveloping them in moisture for a plump, soft impression. With sheer coloring and a lightweight, non-sticky feel, it creates beautiful, glass-like glossy lips wrapped in soft light.
Key Ingredients:
- Domestic Tamanu Oil: Known since ancient times as a botanical oil that cares for the skin, it envelops dry lips in rich moisture and keeps them smooth.
- Peptides: Provide firmness and elasticity to the lips, creating a plump appearance.
- Seaweed Extract: Concentrated seaweed extract keeps the lips hydrated and maintains a smooth, soft texture.
Shade Variations (All 3 Colors):
- Pink: A translucent pink that brings soft color and brightness to the lips.
- Mocha: A modern brown with depth and softness, providing natural shadow and a sophisticated look.
- Red: A sheer red that makes the whole face look vibrant, adding a sophisticated glow for daily use.
