Overview

Experiment's Softwear Smoothing Lip Balm is a .34 fl oz, vegan balm built on squalane, glycerin and pomegranate sterols, aimed at 24-hour hydration for extra dry or flaky lips.

The formula combines a humectant, glycerin, with squalane, an emollient, alongside pomegranate sterols, which the brand credits with gentle exfoliation rather than a scrub-based approach. It has a semi-glossy finish and no added fragrance or flavor, which sets it apart from many balms built around scent. The listing is thin on independent data beyond the brand's own claims, so the 24-hour hydration figure comes from Experiment rather than a third party.

  • .34 fl oz vegan lip balm
  • Built on squalane, glycerin and pomegranate sterols
  • Fragrance-free and unflavored, semi-glossy finish
  • Positioned for extra dry or flaky lips

Who it's for

Suited to anyone with chronically dry or flaky lips who wants a fragrance-free, non-sticky balm rather than a flavored gloss-balm hybrid. Less relevant for someone who wants a tinted or flavored lip product, since this is clear and unflavored.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Vegan formula with squalane and glycerin
  • Fragrance-free and unflavored
  • Semi-glossy, non-sticky finish
  • Includes pomegranate sterols for gentle exfoliation
Cons
  • Small .34 fl oz size
  • 24-hour hydration claim is from the brand

Performance notes

Glycerin draws moisture in while squalane, an emollient similar to skin's own oils, helps seal it against the lip surface, the standard mechanism behind most long-wear lip hydration claims. Pomegranate sterols are included for a gentle exfoliating effect, meant to smooth flaky patches without a gritty scrub. The semi-glossy, non-sticky finish is a texture choice rather than a hydration claim.
