Catkin Glossy Lip Balm — Tinted Jelly C09 Orchid, 0.12 oz | Shea Butter Hydration & Glassy Shine

Catkin Glossy Lip Balm C09 Orchid is a lightweight, shea butter–infused tinted jelly that hydrates, smooths and adds a glossy, natural orchid tint for dewy, fuller-looking lips.

This ultra-hydrating melting balm combines skincare and makeup in one stick: a non-greasy, high-pigment jelly texture that soothes dry lips while delivering a watery, glass-like shine. Designed to glide on smoothly and avoid stickiness, the formula contains plant-derived BINESTER P18 for targeted nourishment, plus shea butter to help soften and repair the lip surface. At 0.12 oz, the compact size is ideal for pocket touch-ups and everyday carry.

How does the balm hydrate without feeling greasy?

The formula is built around a lightweight jelly base and select emollients that give a wet, glossy finish without heavy residue. It absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, non-tacky surface that still reflects light for a dewy look.

• Light, melting texture that glides on and spreads evenly
• Shea butter to condition and soften the lip surface
• Non-sticky finish that avoids the heavy feel of traditional balms

Will this provide a visible tint and plumping appearance?

Yes—the C09 Orchid shade offers a high-pigment, sheer-to-buildable wash of color that enhances natural lip tone. The glossy, reflective surface visually smooths fine lines and gives lips a subtly fuller, cushiony look without using irritating stimulants.

• High-pigment tinted jelly for a natural orchid hue
• Glassing effect minimizes the look of lip lines and enhances volume
• Buildable coverage for light everyday color or a more pronounced tint

What skincare ingredients are included and how do they help dry or sensitive lips?

Catkin’s formulation focuses on plant-based actives and conditioning butters. BINESTER P18, a grain-and-sunflower derived ingredient, supports repair and moisture retention, while shea butter supplies long-lasting nourishment to vulnerable or chapped lips.

• BINESTER P18: plant-derived extract to help repair and nourish
• Shea butter: deep conditioning for softness and resilience
• Non-irritating base suitable for sensitive lip skin

How should I use it to avoid waste and get the best results?

Because the balm is soft and creamy, twist out only about 1 mm per use to prevent breakage or spinning back into the tube. Apply directly from the stick or dab with a fingertip to blend the edges for a natural finish.

• Twist out ~1 mm each application to avoid over-extension
• Layer for more color or dab for a stained, subtle look
• Keep the lid closed to maintain texture and hygiene

Who is this for: Catkin Glossy Lip Balm C09 Orchid suits anyone seeking a two-in-one lip product that simplifies routines—people who want consistent hydration, a glossy tint, and a plumping visual effect without sticky textures. It’s a good pick for those with dry or sensitive lips who prefer plant-forward ingredients and a compact balm for on-the-go touch-ups.
