THERE’S DRAMA OVER THIS LIP BALM…

[hxrnan]

FYI.... *Vegan* and *Cruelty Free* are two *Very* different things

My dad is a beekeeper. These days bees are living good, dont worry about using the wax.

The OG formula has both beeswax and lanolin in it. I am thrilled it’s coming back because I take meds that keep my skin and lips dryer than the Sahara so I’m all for the OG formula returning!!! ❤

[Lurkingggggg]

Why wouldn’t they just make both versions available. They have tons of funding and revenue these days

[kirstenguest]

And lanolin. IMO the only effective hydrater/moisturizer for the lips! I'm so stoked!

Good for Glossier! Bite Beauty (now out of business) ruined their popular agave lip mask. I bought many tubes of it in different colors for a couple of years. Then they changed it to make it vegan and it was nowhere near as good. Reviews tanked on Sephora. And I’m not saying this was the sole reason, but I think within a year or two Bite was gone.

The original formula IS better. Lanolin retrieval does not hurt sheep, it is collected from sheared wool.

[Souleyme]

as a vegan im okay with beeswax lol. As long as the bees can live and thrive im good.

[jcml]

maybe someday down the road they’ll be able to rerelease the vegan as its own thing, but for now they made a smart business decision and that’s respectable!

I'm glad that they did so, I remember when bite beauty had to close down because of such a stuipd mistake... they destroyed the best lip mask ever and made it useless then they had to close down the whole company

[Hsiwkwnwiww]

I like how you used the straw berry and birthday cake ones because that’s the only 2 flavours i own😂

Lanolin is hands down the best lip moisturizer. Companies shoot themselves in the foot when they make their lip balms and masks ‘vegan’ with ingredients that clearly aren’t as effective.

Most of us don’t care about the vegan aspect, we care about the cruelty free aspect which is not the same. There was that Canadian cosmetics company Bite Beauty that was known for their lanolin overnight lip mask, they sold at Sephora years ago and people were obsessed with it. You put it on before bed, and wake up with gorgeous moisturized lips.

Well they made the mistake of reformulating it vegan, and now they’re bankrupt. They didn’t listen to the cries of customers who wanted the original formula back. I loved that original lip mask SO MUCH... I’m down to my last tube and it’s starting to turn, so I have to use it up quickly.

At least Glossier didn’t make the same mistake as Bite Beauty, they listened to their customers. Another great brand of lanolin lip balm is Lanolips, sold at Ulta and they have leaping bunny certification.

Not 👏everything 👏has to be👏 vegan👏Brands out there ruining stuff just so they could put that vegan label. They did the right thing in the end.

Next we want Laneige Cream Skin to bring back their OG formula too.

[Lady.alchemy]

Maybe they should make both formulas and change one of the names to differentiate between the two

[CareyXO]

The original formula is definitely better than the vegan one in my opinion. They probably sold less with the vegan formula. It’s a good business decision and you can never please everyone.

[ambertasniem]

It's expensive, but the Isamaya lip balms are very nice and should have a colour light enough for your skin tone

[clcarrer]

Beautiful look! ❤

Btw, have you seen the new JCPenny Beauty section? (Idk if you have one near). I've seen some shorts and reels showing it and looks like a little Ulta, lol. Except that they also have some brands you don't find elsewhere. We'll see if it works for them in the long run.

I’m so glad, I’ve been milking my OG’s from a few years ago, they’re so nourishing and last forever and I was thinking I’d have to go back to just using Burt’s Bees again (which I think are equally wonderful lip balms) because so many people gave such bad reviews on the vegan formula. Glad they did this, very smart business decision on their end.

[bradenroberts]

The vegan users are probably a minority
