If you're on the hunt for hydrated, shiny lips, you may be wondering whether you should grab a lip gloss or a lip oil. While these two lip products may look similar at first glance, they serve different purposes. Let's break down the key differences so you can decide which one suits your needs best.
What Is Lip Gloss?
Lip gloss is a beauty staple for creating shiny, luscious lips. Its primary role is to add a glossy finish to your lips. Most glosses enhance the natural color of your lips or add a tint while providing a beautiful shine. While lip gloss is ideal for that perfect glossy look, it doesn't deeply nourish like a lip treatment.
Key Features of Lip Gloss:
- Adds a shiny, wet-look finish.
- Often comes in tinted or transparent options.
- Can feel slightly thicker on the lips.
- Provides light hydration and enhances the look of bare lips.
If you're looking for shine and subtle color, lip gloss is your go-to.
For instance, The Lip Gloss from Sans Façon:
- Adds a brilliant shine without stickiness.
- Blends seamlessly with any lip color.
- Nourishes with ingredients like coconut oil (a natural softener), glycerin (to hydrate and protect), and avocado oil (known for its moisturizing and regenerating properties).
- Perfect for enhancing your look or layering over lip liner.
What Is Lip Oil?
Lip oil, on the other hand, takes lip care to the next level. A hybrid between a nourishing treatment and a beauty product, lip oil combines the shine of gloss with the deep hydration of a lip balm. Its lightweight texture allows it to penetrate the lips, providing lasting hydration and repair—perfect for dry, chapped lips.
Lip oils, like The Lip Oil from Sans Façon, are formulated with natural ingredients to nourish, smooth, and plump your lips. Unlike gloss, lip oil doesn't just sit on the surface—it works to repair and restore the lips over time.
Key Features of Lip Oil:
- Provides shine while deeply moisturizing and nourishing the lips.
- Lightweight and non-sticky texture.
- Acts as a lip treatment to repair and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Often infused with natural oils and vitamins.
- Can include subtle tints, like a tinted lip oil.
Why Choose The Lip Oil from Sans Façon?
Not all lip oils are created equal, but The Lip Oil from Sans Façon stands out for its unique formula and luxurious feel. Here's what makes it a must-have:

- Natural Waxes (5%): A 100% natural wax, made up of three functionalized waxes: jojoba for its richness in alcohol and fatty acids, sunflower for its thermal stability, and mimosa for its increased softness.
- Benefits of Natural Waxes:
