Whats the Difference Between Lip Gloss, Lip Oil, and Lip Balm?
Lip Gloss
Lip gloss has a thicker, stickier, and tackier finish than lip oil.
Lip balms are generally not colored or glossy.

Robinson recommends selecting lip oils with hydrating ingredients like jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or cherry oil.
How Often Should You Apply Lip Oil?

The oils serve to restore the skin’s natural balance and offer a layer of defense against the environment.
Beautiful and Layerable
