{"product_id":"cosrx-honey-sugar-lip-scrub","title":"COSRX Honey Sugar Lip Scrub","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dual-action lip treatment that exfoliates and conditions in a single step. Fine sugar crystals lift away the flaking, dead skin that makes lips look cracked and dull, while honey, propolis and shea butter work underneath to restore softness — so the lips are left smooth and nourished rather than freshly buffed and stripped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLip skin is structurally different from the rest of the face. It has no oil glands, a far thinner stratum corneum, and no melanin to speak of, which means it dehydrates faster, chaps more easily and repairs more slowly than any other skin on the body. It is also the surface most people treat with the least care. A dedicated scrub-and-condition step, used correctly and not too often, is the difference between lips that hold colour beautifully and lips that flake through the middle of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis belongs to COSRX's Full Fit line, built around propolis — the resinous compound bees produce to protect the hive, and one of the more interesting natural ingredients in skincare for its antioxidant and soothing activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSucrose (natural sugar crystals)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the physical exfoliant. Sugar granules are rounded rather than jagged, which makes them considerably kinder to delicate lip skin than salt or ground shell particles. They also dissolve gradually as you massage, so the abrasion naturally tapers off rather than intensifying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoney\u003c\/strong\u003e — a natural humectant that draws and holds water, with mild antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Patch test on the inner wrist for 24 hours if you are unsure. The formula is edible-safe in the sense that small amounts will inevitably be ingested, but it is a cosmetic and not a food. Do not use on broken or bleeding skin. Apply with a clean finger or a spatula to keep the pot uncontaminated. Store away from direct heat — the shea and wax content will soften significantly if left somewhere warm. Keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, follow with an overnight lip mask or a rich balm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COSRX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53488975610122,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/3380\/7114\/files\/shopping_1_0ed4c22f-015b-471a-8740-82b3e525f30d.webp?v=1786026864","url":"https:\/\/yunji.nl\/products\/cosrx-honey-sugar-lip-scrub","provider":"Yunji Korean Skincare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
