The 5 Best Lip Glosses for Dry Lips

You may think that all lip glosses are hydrating because of their high-shine appearance, but unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. While lip glosses may give off the appearance of being hydrating because of their wet, glossy look, many lip glosses lack moisturizing ingredients and are truly just for show. Fortunately, there are a number of glosses that have been specifically formulated to hydrate the lips while also looking super chic.

Glosses can be notoriously drying, despite their shiny appearance, but Kopari delivers one of the most hydrating clean-beauty lip glosses we’ve found. It comes in a clear gloss (which can be layered over your favorite lipstick) and four pink and red tints. High-quality shea butter and coconut oil give the gloss a nice light scent and hydrate without being sticky while antioxidants nourish and smooth the lips. It full of good-for-you vegan ingredients and starts with “100% pure, organic coconut oil sustainably sourced from small family farms in the Philippines” according to Kopari’s website, so you can feel good about where your dollar is going.
