How often can I reapply Canola Honey Lip Balm?

As often as your lips feel dry. A lip balm is meant to be reapplied through the day rather than applied once and left. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

Can I wear it overnight?

Yes, a fuller layer at bedtime is a common way to use it, since the lips get more benefit from a longer, undisturbed application. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

Can I wear lipstick over it?

Yes, once it has absorbed for a minute, though very glossy or heavy formulas may need a light blot first for lipstick to sit evenly. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

Is it scented or flavored?

Check the product page for the specific variant's scent or flavor, since this line ships in more than one. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

Does it help with chapped lips?

It is a balm meant to coat and soften the surface, so very dry or cracked lips get more from consistent reapplication over a few days than from a single use.

How it works

Canola Honey Lip Balm is a lip balm, a thicker, more occlusive texture built to sit on the lips rather than absorb into them. The lips have no oil glands of their own, so a balm's job is to supply the surface coating skin elsewhere makes on its own. It is applied directly, as needed, rather than following a fixed order the way a face routine does. Because it is meant to stay on the surface, a thin layer lasts longer than a thick one that gets wiped or licked off sooner. It can be reapplied throughout the day, or used as the last step before bed for a heavier overnight layer.

Key benefits

What it is: a 3.5g balm from innisfree, for the spot care step.
On the ingredient list: Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Butylene Glycol, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer list rather than assumed from the category.
Fits into the routine: melts on contact and sits over the area as an occlusive layer.
Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.

Inside the formula

Ingredients declared

Fragrance on the list

1 of 3

26 of 30 explained

Petrolatum occlusive: Petrolatum is a purified blend of mineral hydrocarbons. It is the most effective occlusive known, cutting water loss from skin by well over ninety percent, and it is inert and does not feed microbes.
Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate is a water-in-oil emulsifier used in balms and rich creams, and a good pigment disperser.
Diisostearyl Malate emollient: Diisostearyl Malate is a thick, glossy ester used to hold pigment in suspension and give a cushioned shine. It is the standard emollient in lip products.
Mineral Oil occlusive: Mineral Oil is a purified petroleum-derived oil. Cosmetic grade is one of the most inert ingredients available, which is why it appears in patches, balms and formulas for easily irritated skin.
Jojoba Esters emollient: Jojoba Esters are jojoba wax rebuilt into a softer, meltable form. They condition skin and give body to balms without the heaviness of a butter.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene emollient: Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a stabilised synthetic hydrocarbon used in place of mineral oil. It is an emollient that leaves a smooth, cushioned film.
Polyethylene thickener: Polyethylene in a formula is a wax-like polymer used to thicken oils and set sticks. It is the same polymer family as plastic film, in a soft grade.
Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides emollient: Hardened coconut glycerides, a soft solid that melts on contact with skin. It is used to give a balm structure that still spreads.
Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax occlusive: Candelilla wax, from a desert shrub, and the usual plant substitute for beeswax. It gives sticks and balms a firm, slightly brittle set.
Microcrystalline Wax occlusive: Microcrystalline Wax is a fine-crystalled petroleum wax. It gives balms and sticks body and flexibility and holds oil from separating out.
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter emollient: Mango seed butter, pressed from the kernel. It is a soft solid at room temperature and melts on skin, so it is used where a formula needs richness without the waxiness of shea.
Ceresin occlusive: Ceresin is a hard mineral wax refined from ozokerite. It stiffens balms and sticks and slows water leaving skin.

14 more explained

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil emollient: Sweet almond oil, one of the oldest cosmetic oils. It is high in oleic acid, which makes it richer and slower to absorb than the linoleic oils.
Trihydroxystearin thickener: A castor-derived wax used to thicken oils and stop pigments settling. It builds structure in an anhydrous formula without making it hard.
Phenoxyethanol preservative: Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster: Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
Tocopheryl Acetate antioxidant: Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula.
Camellia Japonica Seed Oil emollient: Camellia Seed Oil is the traditional Korean and Japanese hair and skin oil, high in oleic acid. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly for its richness.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil emollient: Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish.
Glyceryl Caprylate emulsifier: Glyceryl Caprylate is a mild emulsifier that also makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, so it is often part of a preservative-free system.
Fragrance fragrance: Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
Tocopherol antioxidant: Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil fragrance component: Camel grass oil, a lemongrass relative. It is an essential oil used to scent a formula.
Water/Aqua/Eau solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.

How to use

Apply a thin layer directly to the lips whenever they feel dry, reapplying through the day as needed. For a heavier overnight treatment, apply a fuller layer as the last step before bed.

Worth knowing

Reapply as needed through the day rather than expecting one application to last from morning to night.
Patch test on the inner arm first if this is the first product from the line you have tried.
