Phyto-Glow Lip Balm
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Naturium's Phyto-Glow Lip Balm ($10, 13 shades) delivers a sheer wash of color with a plush, non-sticky feel that several creators call nourishing and comfortable. Amanda Z notes it keeps lips hydrated without being oily or sticky, and Beauty Within praises the metal tip applicator for a luxurious glide in warm weather. However, Skyler Renee flags that it can be a little sticky for all-day wear, and Beauty Within warns the metal tip freezes the formula in winter.
