Balmade Electrolyte Tinted Lip Balm

MILK MAKEUP Balmade Electrolyte Tinted Lip Balm is a balm first and a tint second — it melts onto the lip with a light wash of colour and a glossy, juicy finish. The formula is built around electrolytes, the same minerals you'd reach for when your body is dehydrated, here working on dry lips. It doesn't leave that tacky film most tinted balms do.

What it actually does

• Puts moisture back into dry lips. MILK MAKEUP builds the formula on an electrolyte complex of zinc, copper and magnesium, which the brand credits for the lasting hydration.
• Gives sheer colour, not coverage. You get a transparent flush of tint plus shine — the brand also describes lips looking fuller as a result.
• Softens rough, chapped texture. Coconut and aloe extracts are included to condition and smooth.
• Holds onto water. Banana juice is in the formula specifically to help lips retain hydration.
• Doesn't feel sticky. It's designed to melt in rather than sit on top, which is what makes it wearable all day.
• Clean-formulated. Free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates SLS and SLES, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, coal tar, retinyl palmitate, formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents, triclosan and triclocarban, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. Vegan and cruelty-free.
• Comes in seven flavours, so the shade choice comes with a scent choice.

The brand states it is clinically tested not to irritate sensitive skin.

How to use

1. Squeeze the tube gently and swipe the balm straight across the lip.
2. Reapply whenever lips feel dry — this is a balm, so there's no limit.
3. Want more colour? MILK MAKEUP suggests layering it over Cooling Water Jelly Tint or Lip + Cheek (both sold separately).
4. Close the cap firmly after each use.

Allergy note from the brand: if you have or suspect a strawberry allergy, patch test the shade Juiced on your forearm and leave it at least 12 hours before putting it on your lips.

Questions

Is this a balm or a lipstick?

A balm with tint in it. The job is moisture and shine; the colour is a see-through layer on top of your natural lip tone, not full coverage.

What are the electrolytes doing?

Zinc, copper and magnesium make up the complex MILK MAKEUP credits with bringing moisture back to dry lips and holding it there over time.

Can I build the colour up?

On its own it stays sheer. For a stronger lip, the brand's own recommendation is to put it over Cooling Water Jelly Tint or Lip + Cheek, both sold separately.
