Zao Classic Lipstick in 462 Old Pink — Certified Organic Colour with Intensely Nourishing Comfort
Dry, bare lips deserve more than colour alone — this is a lipstick that treats as it tints. Zao's Classic in 462 Old Pink delivers a soft, dusty-rose hue in a richly creamy formula built on certified organic emollients that glide effortlessly across the lips, depositing full, even pigment without tugging or feathering. The finish is velvety and comfortable across hours of wear, leaving lips visibly softer, deeply nourished, and framed in a shade that transitions seamlessly from morning to evening.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Castor Oil | Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil | High | Emollient / Humectant | Softens lip tissue, increases moisture retention, improves slip and spreadability of formula |
| Organic Shea Butter | Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter | High | Emollient / Occlusant | Rich in oleic and stearic fatty acids; seals in moisture, nourishes and repairs the delicate lip barrier |
| Organic Pomegranate Extract | Punica Granatum Fruit Extract | Mid / Low | Antioxidant / Anti-inflammatory | Punicic acid and phytosterols combat free radical damage, soothe irritation, and help minimise fine lines at the lip margin |
At the core of this formula, organic castor oil acts as the primary carrier and emollient, binding pigment particles into a smooth, uniform film while attracting moisture to the lip surface. Organic shea butter, rich in long-chain fatty acids, reinforces the lip's natural lipid barrier and forms an occlusive layer that prevents transepidermal water loss, maintaining suppleness across extended wear. Pomegranate extract contributes concentrated punicic acid — a conjugated omega-5 fatty acid — alongside phytosterols that neutralise free radicals and modulate inflammatory pathways, providing antioxidant defence against environmental aggressors at the lip margin. Together, these three botanicals create a synergy of colour-hold, comfort, and active lip care. ---
- For a perfect look, it is recommended to take care of the lips with a lip balm. The lipstick can be applied directly on the lips or with a lip brush. For a better outfit, use a lip pencil on the lip outline before applying.
