Why Vegan Lip Gloss Matters After 40
As our lips mature, they lose collagen faster than other facial skin. Many mainstream glosses contain irritating ingredients that accentuate fine lines. Vegan formulas avoid common irritants like beeswax and lanolin that can cause inflammation. Dermatologist Dr. Lisa Richards confirms: "Plant-based emollients are often better tolerated by thinning, mature lip skin."

The Goodness Inside: Our Nourishing Ingredients
We formulate like skincare for your lips. Every ingredient serves a purpose:
Deeply moisturize and repair dry lips
Provides structure without beeswax
Soothe sensitive lip tissue
Protect against environmental damage
Unlike many brands, we never use petroleum derivatives. As noted by the Environmental Working Group, plant-based alternatives offer safer, more sustainable hydration.

Your Vegan Lip Gloss Questions Answered
Will vegan lip gloss last as long as traditional formulas?
Yes! Our plant-based polymers create a flexible film that wears comfortably for 3-4 hours. The moisture-binding ingredients actually improve wear time on mature lips by preventing dryness that causes product breakdown.
Is the shine level adjustable?
Absolutely. Apply one layer for a natural sheen, or build to 3 layers for high-impact glass-like shine. The non-sticky formula layers beautifully without clumping.
How does this help with lip lines?
Our blend of butters and oils plumps lip skin from within. Regular use improves elasticity, while light-reflecting pigments create an optical smoothing effect. Many customers report visible improvement in vertical lip lines after 4 weeks of consistent use.
Can I wear this over lipstick?
Perfectly! Our glosses are designed to layer over our lipsticks without dissolving color. For best results, let lipstick set for 1 minute before gloss application. The doe-foot applicator allows precise placement.
