Kosas is introducing LipFuel, an ultra-hydrating lip balm, as the first product in its Kosasport capsule. While there are many lip balms that promise to soothe and moisturize the lips, this one sets itself apart with active botanicals and hyaluronic acid, a popular skincare ingredient that naturally occurs in the body and is known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water.
The hyaluronic acid lip balm also contains konjac root to form a gel-like barrier between one's lips and the outer world, as well as an energizing minty scent.
The athletically inspired beauty product is said to be beneficial for "coaching lips to harness their own healing powers," and is available in clear and tinted varieties.
