Cult Beauty - MILK Makeup Kush Lip Balm

When it comes to innovative ingredients, Milk Makeup doesn’t beat about the bush… Unless said bush is sprouting hemp. As the name indicates, this pout perfecter is formulated with hemp-derived cannabis oil, a wonder ingredient for hydrating and soothing skin. Shea, cocoa and mango butters add to the balm’s moisturising properties, instantly sinking into lips to grant kiss-me-quick softness. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more nourishing (spoiler: it can), antioxidant-rich olive and jojoba oils work their magic, protecting against free radicals and environmental aggressors while lending the original balm, 'Green Dragon', a slight green tinge. Don’t be alarmed by this ogre-esque colour – it glides on clear so there’s no chance of you resembling a green monster. If you fancy a wash of colour as well as a hydration hit, there are also four new hues to pick from which lend a gentle, natural-looking pigment: deep berry ‘Plushberry’, dusty pink ‘Cannatonic’, nude ‘Nug’ and pastel pink ‘Bubble’. Just as important as the ingredients in the formula are the ingredients left out; as with all Milk Makeup products, this vegan lip saviour is proudly paraben, sulphate and silicone-free.
