Experiment Softwear Smoothing Lip Treatment Balm — .34 fl oz Vegan 24hr Hydration with Squalane & Mild AHA

Experiment Softwear Smoothing Lip Treatment Balm is a rich, vegan lip treatment that delivers up to 24 hours of hydration while gently smoothing and repairing extra-dry, flaky lips.

Designed as an intensive daily treatment and overnight mask, this balm combines humectants, emollients, and pomegranate-derived sterols to replenish and protect fragile lip skin. The formula blends squalane and glycerin for a silky, non-sticky finish and includes a mild AHA to lightly exfoliate without irritation. Chemist-developed and cruelty-free, the product is packaged as a .34 fl oz balm suitable for carrying in a pocket or bag.

How does this balm hydrate lips all day and night?

The treatment uses a mix of water-attracting and barrier-supporting ingredients to maintain moisture for long periods after a single application. Squalane and glycerin draw and lock in hydration, while pomegranate sterols support the lip surface to reduce moisture loss.

• Squalane: lightweight emollient that softens and smooths without greasiness
• Glycerin: humectant that attracts and holds water for lasting moisture
• Pomegranate sterols: reinforce the skin barrier to minimize transepidermal water loss
• .34 fl oz size: portable for daytime touch-ups and overnight use

Will it help rough, flaky lips feel smoother?

Yes — the formula contains a mild alpha-hydroxy acid that provides gentle exfoliation to slough away dry flakes and reveal softer skin. Because the exfoliant is combined with soothing, hydrating agents, it minimizes the risk of irritation while improving texture.

• Mild AHA: light chemical exfoliation to reduce flaking and uneven texture
• Combined hydration: exfoliation paired with rich emollients prevents tightness
• Daily or nightly use: safe for regular application as part of a lip-care routine

How does the finish feel — sticky or comfortable for makeup?

The balm melts into a cushiony, dewy layer that avoids the tackiness associated with many heavy treatments. This makes it comfortable worn alone or under lip color, and it leaves lips primed for smooth lipstick application.

• Non-sticky texture: squalane provides slip without residue
• Dewy sheen: imparts a healthy-looking finish compatible with makeup
• Quick spread: glides on easily for even coverage

Is this product suitable for sensitive or vegan shoppers?

Experiment Softwear is formulated to be vegan and cruelty-free, and it is created by chemists to balance active hydration with gentle care. While individual sensitivities vary, the gentle AHA and soothing emollients are selected to minimize irritation for most users.

• Vegan formula: no animal-derived ingredients
• Cruelty-free: not tested on animals
• Chemist-formulated: created to combine efficacy with gentleness
