Zao Blush Stick in 842 Poppy Pink — A Creamy, Buildable Flush That Doubles as a Lip Colour
Dull, lacklustre skin calls for a flush of colour that feels as good as it looks — and this cream blush stick in Poppy Pink 842 delivers exactly that. Its velvety, glide-on formula melts seamlessly into the skin, building from a sheer wash of pink to a more defined, sculpted glow depending on your touch. Enriched with organic castor and jojoba oils, it leaves cheeks — and lips — looking nourished, alive, and effortlessly polished.

| Organic Jojoba Oil | Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil | High | Emollient / Skin-conditioning | Restores and repairs the skin barrier; closely mimics natural sebum for balanced hydration |
| Organic Carnauba Wax | Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax | Mid | Film-former / Structurant | Forms a continuous protective film on skin; improves makeup longevity and wear |

The cream stick base — structured by organic carnauba wax — allows precise, controlled pigment deposit that blends to a seamless finish without patchiness. Organic castor and jojoba oils act synergistically as emollients and humectants, reinforcing the skin's moisture barrier and ensuring the colour sits comfortably rather than settling into texture. Organic bamboo macerate contributes bioavailable silica, which stimulates collagen type I synthesis and maintains the elasticity of the upper epidermal layers, lending a naturally plumped, healthy-looking base beneath the colour. Together, these ingredients ensure the formula performs both as a cosmetic colourant and a skin-conditioning treatment.
