Ingredients

Key Ingredients

SmartWax Blend:

A fusion of emollients and plant-based waxes to help condition and retain moisture while providing a soft, smooth appearance and feel on lips.

Jojoba esters:

These emollients from the Jojoba plant, native to South America, act as a liquid wax that melts into lips on contact and transform into a balmy texture. Gives this formula a weightless, yet creamy feel.

CleanCoat pigments:

Our pigments go through a proprietary process during which they are enveloped in castor oil, a soothing and moisturizing skin conditioner for lips. This special treatment process ensures that the formula evenly coats and hugs lips for true color payoff and light-catching sheen.

Organic Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla:

High-quality, certified organic vanilla gives Sheer Genius its signature sweet scent.

FORMULATION FACT 01

Formulated without heavily ethoxylated ingredients Isoceteth-10 or PEG-10 Dimethicone that carry particular risk for carcinogenic contaminants, ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. We take ingredient purity seriously.

FORMULATION FACT 02

We use Diisostearyl Malate, Jojoba Esters, Octyldodecyl Ricinoleate, and Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil to soften and smooth lips instead of the cyclic siloxanes Cyclotetrasiloxane (D4), Cyclopentasiloxane (D5), and Cyclohexasiloxane (D6) that present concerns around carcinogenicity and environmental harm.

Displays a model in the process of applying a white Counter Cream to her face.

FORMULATION FACT 03

You’ll never see “Flavor/Aroma” or “Parfum/Fragrance” among our ingredients – full ingredient transparency, always.

This is the only lipstick brand wear because its light texture, not sticky or waxy, no fake fragrance and actually smells good and doesn't taste bad. Love the subtly of the colors and the creamy texture!
