Lip treatment

A honey-gold propolis lip essence that smooths dead skin, hydrates and plumps.

CNP Laboratory calls it Penta Care: one balm for flaking, fine lines, firmness, hydration and glow. The yellow, honey-like texture melts at body temperature, carrying propolis and honey extracts alongside ceramides, peptides and a gentle PHA.
