This is not your average lip balm. Already one of the top selling products for the brand internationally, it seems that Lanolips discovered that what the world was missing right now was a delicious banana flavoured lip balm. As Rachel Zoe would say, ‘Bananas.’

Sodashi’s Samadara Ultimate Age-Defying Elixir is the Speedy Gonzales of serums. Excellent for anyone experiencing redness, dullness, pigmentation, lines and large pores. It unselfishly won’t clog your pores or upset the balance of sebum in the skin either.
