The product is made of 100% natural ingredients and does not contain seven chemical ingredients, providing high pigmentation that could not be seen in other natural cosmetics! The multi-use stick, which is great for lips, eyes, and cheeks or anywhere else, is sized to be used up in order to reduce cosmetic waste. Empty containers are collected by using return envelopes for recycling.

Colors are pure and fun and the packaging is pretty and playful.
