A Wren Says

In my quest to find the best lip balm for me, I turned to the Biossance Squalane + Rose Vegan Lip Balm.. My thought, “Meh. Not as moisturizing as I thought it would be.” The product is thick and waxy. I wouldn’t describe it as a lip gloss at all. Perhaps it would work best as a layer to trap the moisture if you already have moisturized lips. But for me that was not the situation I was in. The reason I tried it was because someone was raving about it, and I was looking for something new to save my dry lips.

I used this product over time and in different climates. When I used it in the dry US, I was disappointed but kept using it. But when I went on a trip to a humid area and still ended up with flaky lips, I have deduced that the formula just wasn’t right for me.

Now looking at the site to right this post, I see that they have reformulated to make the product more moisturizing. But digging deeper I was a blogger mention a reformulation in 2021 as well. All that to say, I can’t say that the product in stores currently is different from the one that I bought.

Personally, as someone with dry skin and dry lips, I wasn’t a fan of this product, but you might have better luck. If you prefer a waxy lip balm in a tube, maybe give this a try.
