Overview
A 0.15 oz tinted lip balm that pairs buildable sheer color with shea butter and rosehip seed oil, shown here in the Hold Me shade. Vegan, fragrance-free and silicone-free, positioned as a hybrid balm and makeup product.
ILIA frames this as a clean beauty crossover, a lip balm that also functions as a light makeup layer with buildable pigment. The fragrance-free, oil-free formulation is aimed at people who want tinted color without the ingredients common in traditional lipstick. Shea butter and rosehip seed oil handle the moisturizing side.
- Shea butter and rosehip seed oil hydration
- Buildable tint in Hold Me shade
- Vegan, fragrance-free, silicone-free
- 0.15 oz balm format
Who it's for
Suits anyone wanting a low-maintenance tinted lip balm for everyday wear, especially those avoiding fragrance or silicone in lip products. Less suited to people wanting a full-opacity, long-wear lip color.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Vegan, fragrance-free and silicone-free formula
- Buildable tint plus shea butter and rosehip seed oil hydration
- Oil-free, non-comedogenic base
- Sheer, buildable color rather than full opacity
- Small 0.15 oz size
Performance notes
The balm combines shea butter and rosehip seed oil with sea succulent for moisture, in an oil-free, non-comedogenic base that ILIA describes as buildable rather than full coverage. Being unflavored and fragrance-free keeps the formula close to a plain lip treatment even with tint added.
