## Key benefits

- Tocopheryl Acetate, the antioxidant this balm is built around
- BHT on the same list, an antioxidant
- Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract on the same list, a plant extract
- Mineral Oil and Beeswax on the same list, occlusives
- Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax and Ozokerite further down the same list
- Diisostearyl Malate and Hydrogenated Polyisobutene further down the same list

## How it works

The Ginger Sugar Essential Lip Balm is a 15ml balm, used as the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopheryl Acetate, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries BHT, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract and Mineral Oil, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopheryl Acetate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the balm format rather than by the list alone. ETUDE sells this Tocopheryl Acetate balm in Korea, and this is that version.

## How to use

1. Apply directly to the lips as needed through the day, alone or as a base before a tint, gloss, or lipstick.

## FAQ

### Where does this balm go in my routine?

As the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. Anything thinner than a balm goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Tocopheryl Acetate and not three changes at once.

### Does this balm contain fragrance?

Yes. The ingredient list names Citral, Fragrance, Geraniol and Limonene. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this balm is not the one.

### What else is on the list besides Tocopheryl Acetate?

BHT, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract and Mineral Oil. The order they are printed in on this balm's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopheryl Acetate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Beeswax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax and Ozokerite.
