Moisture Intense Formula

The key to the new formulation is a combination of two main ingredients: a blended oil and a cushioning fixer.

Blended Oil

A carefully balanced blend of oils — those that attract moisture and those that seal it in — creates a smooth, comfortable texture and a glossy, transparent finish. The formula also contains the Lip Moist Complex* for sustained hydration.

* Hyaluronic acid, sugar squalane, grape seed oil

Cushioning Fixer

A highly flexible fixer that forms a network on the lips, creating a film that moves with the lips without breaking down. This structure allows a generous amount of pigment to be incorporated alongside moisturizing components, making both vivid color and hydration possible at once.

Inspired by Japanese "Kingyoku" Confectionery

The look of the formula — jewel-like clarity combined with rich, vivid color — draws inspiration from kingyoku, a traditional Japanese wagashi confectionery said to have originated in the Edo period. Known for its glass-like transparency and vibrant hues, kingyoku has long added a unique visual presence to tea ceremonies. The MOISTURE INTENSE LIPSTICK aims to bring a similar sense of translucent beauty and color depth to the lips.
