Cushiony Lip Oils

Merit's Shade Slick Gelée Features Blooming Pigments That React to pH

— April 10, 2023 — Fashion
Based on its best-selling Shade Slick Classic, minimalist beauty brand Merit created the Shade Slick Gelée as a sheer, bare-lip version of the product. This lip product features blooming pigments that adjust based on the natural pH of the user's lips to create the perfect customized stain. Thanks to the inclusion of nourishing ingredients like plant-derived squalane and quinoa seed oil, the formula is non-drying and comfortable and useful for providing protection against environmental aggressors.

These moisturizing lip products are lightweight and buildable, and they make it easy to achieve a high-shine finish. With shades like Jeté, Maraschino, Mapleton and Les Deux, Merit describes the color story of its new product as "when the '90s met the '00s."

Merit's newest lip products are sustainably packaged and they are delivered to consumers in recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging.

3. Nourishing Ingredients - Including nourishing ingredients like plant-derived squalane and quinoa seed oil in beauty products that provide protection against environmental aggressors is an opportunity for nourishing beauty products.
