This is a high-pigment, long-wearing solid lip gloss formulation. It's designed to combine the intense color and longevity of a lipstick with the glossy, comfortable feel of a gloss, without being overly sticky. The core formula is consistent, with shade variations achieved through different pigment and pearlant combinations.
- Smooth & Silky: The primary texture is created by a blend of silicones (Diphenyl Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Trimethylsiloxy Phenyl Dimethicone). These give a slippery, smooth, and fluid feel during application.
- Lightweight & Non-Sticky: Isohexadecane is a volatile hydrocarbon that gives initial slip and then evaporates, leaving the color without a heavy or tacky residue. The VP/Hexadecene and VP/Eicosene Copolymers are film-forming agents that feel lightweight on the lips.
- Cushiony & Malleable: Synthetic Wax and Polyethylene provide structure and a solid-but-creamy texture that melts upon application, allowing for easy, even laydown without dragging.
- Long-Wearing & Transfer-Resistant: The combination of Hydrogenated Styrene/Methylstyrene/Indene Copolymer and the VP Copolymers creates a flexible, adhesive film that locks color onto the lips, resisting transfer onto cups and masks.
- High Color Payoff in One Stroke: The high concentration of pigments (Iron Oxides, CI 15850) and opacifier (Titanium Dioxide) ensures vibrant, opaque color coverage with a single application.
- Easy Application: The silicone-rich base and waxy structure allow the product to glide on effortlessly from the bullet.
- Color Stability: The film-forming polymers help prevent the color from feathering or bleeding outside the lip line.
- For those wanting glossiness without stickiness: The silicone blend and volatile oil provide shine and slip without the traditional glue-like feel of some glosses.
- For those seeking long-wear with comfort: The flexible polymer film is designed to be non-drying and avoid the tight, cracking feel of matte liquid lipsticks, thanks to the emollient silicones.
- For those desiring high-impact color: Delivers pigmentation comparable to a lipstick.
- Versatile Finish Options: The range includes creamy, metallic, and glittery finishes (see below) to suit different preferences.
- The finish varies significantly by shade, dictated by the type of pigments and pearls used:
- P01, P02, P03: Creamy, Satin-Gloss Finish
- These rely primarily on Iron Oxides and organic pigments (CI 15850, CI 15985) with Titanium Dioxide for opacity.
- Finish: They provide a creamy, high-shine gloss with a jewel-like depth.
- P04, P05, P06: Metallic, Sparkly, or Glittery Finish
- These contain Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (a shimmery mica substitute), and additional effect pigments like Mica and Calcium Sodium Borosilicate (a glittery particle).
- P06 is the most complex, containing Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Mica, and Calcium Sodium Borosilicate (a glitter). This indicates a sparkling, glittery finish with multidimensional shine.
- Finish: They offer a luminous, reflective, or sparkling glossy finish. The base color (from the iron oxides) is amplified by light-reflecting particles.
This Kaxier Tint is designed to be a one-step product that delivers the color intensity and longevity of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss, and a comfortable, modern texture, with a range of finishes from creamy to glittery.
