MEDIHEAL Labocare Pantenolips Healssence Coral 10ml

This sits between a lip balm and a gloss, which is why the brand calls it an essence. The mediheal panteno lips Healssence in Coral is a 10ml gel-type lip product that coats the lips with a glossy film and leaves a sheer coral tint behind.

The base is mineral oil and polybutene, which is what produces the cushioned, non-draining feel, and the plant oil side runs to macadamia seed oil, shea butter and argan kernel oil. Grapefruit peel oil and orange peel oil sit high on the list and give the product its citrus character. Panthenol, the ingredient the Pantenolips name refers to, comes in near the end alongside tocopheryl acetate. The tint is genuinely sheer, so it reads as a healthier-looking lip rather than a colour.

This suits dry, chapped lips and anyone who wants shine with a hint of colour. Note it contains macadamia seed oil, a tree nut, along with alcohol and fragrance.
