Softwear
Make dry lips obsolete with Softwear– an innovative, 3-in-1 lip treatment that goes beyond traditionally occlusive balms to hydrate, exfoliate, and protect even the driest, crustiest lips. The dual-phase formula delivers instant hydration + gentle chemical exfoliation in a cocooning barrier of squalane, pomegranate sterols, and petrolatum for soft n’ smooth lips that last all day.
DAILY APPLICATION
Apply Softwear to lips as often as needed for soft n’ smooth lips that last all day.
HARD REFRESH
Lay it on thick as a mask before bed for refreshed lips by morning.
PAIRING MODE
Layer under lip color for a hydrated base. Layer over lip color for a soft dewy sheen.
7% WATER + GLYCERIN
Just add water! Lip balms typically lack water, so they don't actually deposit moisture. Softwear combines glycerin - the gold standard humectant for hydration - with water to immediately increase hydration in the lips.
0.2% HYDROXYCAPRYLIC ACID
This gentle chemical exfoliant is a lipophilic (oil-loving) AHA that helps stimulate cell turnover to smooth crusty lips without irritation.
10% POMEGRANATE STEROLS + PETROLATUM
These two occlusives work together to help enhance the lip barrier function, protecting from dryness and discomfort by locking in moisture.
63% SQUALANE
A nourishing, non-sticky base of Squalane, similar to ‘squalene’ naturally present in the skin, softens and replenishes lips.

How we achieved this:
- Choosing lightweight compact packaging
- By incorporating 23% of PCR resin in the tube packaging, we’ll avoid using the equivalent of 895 virgin plastic water bottles this year
Is Softwear vegan?
Yep! Softwear is vegan and does not contain any animal derived ingredients.
Is it possible to over-exfoliate with Softwear?
Hydroxycaprylic Acid is the chemical exfoliant that powers Softwear’s smoothing capabilities. This lipophilic (oil loving) AHA has a large molecule size, meaning it has a lower irritation profile than AHAs like glycolic and lactic acid. It helps slough off of dead skin cells removing those dry crusties, revealing soft, smooth lips. Knowing that lip balms are used frequently throughout the day, it’s included at a low, but efficacious level.
Is Softwear glossy? Is it sticky??
Softwear is a true lip balm, not a gloss. It glides on clear with a medium shine and leaves a balmy dewy finish. Due to the squalane base, the formula isn’t sticky– we promise.
HYDRATE: 52% increase in hydration eight hours after single application

I've been using softwear for a little bit and i think it's my favorite daily driver lip balm!!! i ususally have issues with tube balms getting in my mouth and tasting kinda horrible BUT this one doesn't do that! it has a pretty neutral taste actually. cushiony, not sticky, doesn't migrate all over the place, and not too shiny. so i bought the 3 pack :)

This is the balm of my dreams. I’ve been looking for an every day lip balm that’s hefty, long-lasting, and non-sticky and this is it! Perfect applicator, great staying power, makes my lips feel so smooth. Will be a repurchase forever.
