Clarins' Lip Comfort Oil is known for its hydrating, plumping, shine-boosting properties, and to create its new Cryo-Plumping Lip Oil, the cosmetics brand looked to cryotherapy treatments. This special-edition cooling lip oil features CRYO-ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY that combines menthol and field mint essential oil, creating a sensorial, fresh feel immediately upon application. This solution for volumizing shine in a swipe, plus moisturization and softness, doubles as a lip treatment thanks to nourishing plant oils like all-organic sweetbriar rose and jojoba. For an enhanced look, Clarins recommends layering the ultra-glossy transparent bluish shine of Cryo-Plumping Lip Oil over its Lip Oil Balm Cryo-Plumping product.
At Cannes, Clarins celebrated its latest launch with a star-studded event full of chilled and frosted accents, dried-ice cocktails and mocktails, blue gelato, caviar bumps, and more.
