KWAILNARA Strawberry Milk Lip Balm

The strawberry milk lip balm is built on petrolatum and beeswax with a wax and oil blend around them, forming a genuine barrier rather than a light film that disappears within the hour.

The scent is what the range is named for: sweet and milky rather than the sharp fruit note most strawberry lip balm goes for. It is noticeable going on and then settles, and there is no colour to it beyond a faint natural tint.

The conditioning comes from shea butter, moringa seed oil and castor seed oil, with honey, propolis, royal jelly and milk protein extracts alongside. As a korean lip balm it sits at the richer end of the category. Kwailnara makes it in Korea alongside the matching body lotion in the same scent, and the kwailnara lip balm range also runs to peach milk and vanilla milk.
