Peculiarities

EOS (Evolution of Smooth) balms appeared in America not so long ago, but have already become very popular. And it’s not surprising - their cosmetic balm is also healing, it helps to cope with small wounds and well moisturizes the surface of the lips.

Compound

There is not a single harmful component in EOS lip balms. They are 95% organic. Each balm is based on natural beeswax. And one of the active components is vitamin E, which gives the skin firmness and elasticity. In addition, it has a healing effect and is able to treat small wounds.

Also, in the composition of each balm you can find natural essential oils, each product is different. The most common oils are found in plants such as jojoba, lemon, olive, sunflower, coconut and almond.

In addition, the manufacturer produces gift products and several balms in one, and also runs a rather interesting promotion: if you are not sure which scent you want, they will send you the one they chose completely at random.

How to spot a fake

Due to the popularity and positive attitude towards EOS products, many have started making cheap Chinese knockoffs to make money off the famous brand. The composition of such products, as a rule, does not contain a single natural component, but it is replete with all kinds of parabens, artificial dyes and vaseline, which not only will not bring you the desired result, but can also cause great harm.

Counterfeits smell completely different from the original - the smell is rather unpleasant and chemical. And their packaging is not as soft and pleasant to the touch as that from the real manufacturer. Therefore, be very careful when purchasing such products. Here are a few ways to distinguish the original from the fake:

1. The original always contains a protective layer – blister or film;
2. Pleasant to the touch bottle, which in no way smells like plastic or anything chemical;
3. Almost all original packages have an even gap, located at the junction of the lid and base. Exceptions include products such as Coconut Milk, Vanilla Mint and Blackberry;
4. Original balm color - light beige. Counterfeits tend to make the color darker;
5. Pay attention to the indentation under the finger – in the original it is smooth and comfortable, and the company’s engraving is neat and clear, and the packaging itself opens and closes easily;
6. The original product smells light and gentle, unlike a fake, the smell of which is more reminiscent of cheap soap or perfume;
7. If your balm tastes like soap or doesn’t feel like anything at all, then it’s definitely a fake.. The original is always slightly sweet, but by no means cloying.

In addition, pay attention to the composition - the names of some ingredients may be greatly distorted. The box should also be examined more carefully. Those who supply low-quality and unnatural products have also already learned to counterfeit it, but you can still notice some details. As a rule, the design on the packaging is printed using a cheap printer and cheap paper, so the image quality will be worse - less clear, more noisy.

The skin of the lips is the thinnest and most sensitive, the action of negative environmental factors - frost, ultraviolet rays - affects it the most. If we add to this the love of the fair sex for decorative cosmetics, especially long-lasting lipsticks, we get dry lips devoid of natural beauty. The solution is to use moisturizing, protective and healing balms and hygienic lipsticks that will return the skin of your lips to a healthy appearance.
