Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, the Visee Avant lipstick was created to solve the modern lipstick dilemma: color that dries out your lips. Our labs in Tokyo saw that stress, air conditioning, and daily life were leaving lips parched under pigment. So, we developed a formula that doesn't just sit on top—it hydrates from within. The key is Japanese-sourced squalane, a moisture-mimicking ingredient chosen for its ability to integrate with your skin's natural lipids. Every batch is produced in our GMP-certified facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade precision for a cosmetic. This commitment has made it a top-ranked lip color in Japan, consistently praised for its 'no-dry' feel.

Kose Visee Avant Lipstick - Hydrating Creamy Lip Color with Squalane is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to provide both vibrant color and exceptional hydration. The key ingredient, squalane, is a plant-derived emollient that mimics the skin's natural lipids, offering deep moisturization and improving lip texture by reducing dryness and flakiness. This is complemented by various waxes and oils, such as beeswax and hydrogenated polyisobutene, which create a smooth, creamy application and form a protective barrier to lock in moisture. Additionally, the product includes pigments and mica for rich, long-lasting color payoff with a subtle shimmer. Antioxidants like tocopherol (vitamin E) are incorporated to help protect the lips from environmental stressors, while film-forming agents enhance wear time. The formulation avoids common irritants, focusing on skin-friendly components that collectively deliver a comfortable, non-drying wear, leaving lips feeling nourished, soft, and visually enhanced with a lustrous finish.
