Our verdict

A sheer, clear peppermint gloss for shine and a cooling, fresh feel. It adds no real color, and its free-from list conflicts with its own ingredients.

Overview

Gliding some of this peppermint lip gloss onto the lips is the whole routine. C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine uses peppermint oil for a fresh feel, and it finishes glossy with a clear undertone and sheer coverage.

A clear, sheer gloss with a minty sensation works as a daily lip step more than a color product. The data limits it, because the free-from field lists petrolatum free while the ingredient text names petrolatum, so the ingredient text should be trusted.

Who it's for

Adults who want a quick, sheer shine and a fresh minty feel will use it all day. People looking for pigment, or who avoid petrolatum and mineral-based ingredients, should check the ingredient list first.

Pros and cons

Cons
  • Free-from list conflicts with ingredients

Performance notes

Petrolatum and polybutene form the glossy film that holds shine and moisture on the lips. Peppermint oil and menthyl lactate give the cooling sensation, which fades as the film wears down through the day.
