Comparison of 112 official lists, No.060 is Lip Mask / Lip Mask / KB-RFQ-060.
Lip masks are intensive products applied thicker than regular lip balm before bed and kept on for several hours to reduce moisture loss, while smoothing out dry, rough dead skin cells and fine lines the next day. While No.059 lip balm focuses on portability, repeated application, and daytime protection, the key features of No.060 are nighttime sealing hydration, long-lasting effects, and the condition of the lips the next day .
Lip masks are not products designed to forcibly remove dead skin cells. The priority is to soften dry skin to make it less noticeable and reduce friction; using scrub particles or strong acidic ingredients simultaneously can irritate cracked lips.
The NoChemiLife recommended product is the Fragrance-Free Ceramide–Panthenol Overnight Lip Mask . It is defined as an intensive moisturizing balm that does not run down the lips overnight or get excessive on the pillow or hair, and is easily wiped off or absorbed the next day.
The core consumers are users whose lips are dry in the morning even after frequently applying regular lip balm, consumers whose lips repeatedly peel due to low humidity, heating and cooling, long-distance travel, and seasonal changes, and users who want to manage their lip condition before using lip tint or matte lip products.
Consumers evaluate whether the lips are softer and less flaky the next day, whether a thick film is maintained overnight, and whether it does not smudge around the mouth or stick to hair while sleeping, rather than the scent and shine upon application. It is also important that no excessive oily residue remains in the morning.
Sweet flavors and colors may encourage purchases, but they can cause the product to move into the mouth and be licked repeatedly. If targeting sensitive or dry lips, it is advisable to exclude artificial fragrances, flavorings, menthol, and irritating plumping ingredients.
Lip masks are a representative type of intensive nighttime care established by K-Beauty in the global market. Despite their higher price compared to lip balms, they offer a clear user experience and next-day results, and are easy to expand into small jars, tubes, gift sets, and scented collections.
In North America and Europe, overnight lip treatment, fragrance-free, intensive moisture, non-sticky, and sensitive lips are the main purchasing terms. In Asia, berry, honey, propolis, ceramide, and a glossy jelly texture are competitive factors.
It is recommended to develop the first SKU for sensitive lips without fragrance or color, and to separate flavor, tint, and plumping products as subsequent items. When sold together with lip balm, the intended use can be clearly explained as a lip balm during the day and an intensive lip mask at night.
The lip mask combines long-lasting oil, butter, and occlusive ingredients with barrier-reinforcing components on the lip surface. Shea butter, squalane, and jojoba esters provide flexibility, ceramides and panthenol care for dry lips, and an appropriate wax and gel structure ensures nighttime longevity and reduces transfer.
| Formula Route | Composition and Product Characteristics | Buyer's judgment |
|---|---|---|
| A. Ceramide–Panthenol Overnight Balm | Fragrance-free balm featuring ceramide, panthenol, squalane, shea butter, and a plant-based gel structure | Recommended route. Good balance of sensitive lips, long-lasting hydration, and NoChemiLife directions. |
| B. Butter–Oil Jelly Mask | Glossy jelly made with shea and murumuru butter, coconut oil, and vegetable oil | While the texture and smooth application are excellent, management of smudging, pillow transfer, and oxidation stability is required. |
| C. Propolis–Honey Repair Mask | Rich balm infused with propolis and honey extracts, and beeswax and emollients. | The K-Beauty story is strong, but it is necessary to check for allergies, variations in scent and taste, and restrictions on vegan labeling. |
Recommended Option A is a cushion balm form that is thicker than a lip balm but does not stretch like a string or run around the mouth. It should be possible to adjust the texture according to the amount applied, so that it can be used during the day when applied thinly, and becomes a night mask when applied thickly.
When adding water-soluble moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin, the emulsification and preservation design can become more complex than with anhydrous balms. The formula should be determined based on the protective barrier maintained overnight and the appearance of moisture and dead skin cells the following day, rather than the popularity of the ingredients.
Lip masks remain on the lips for several hours, and some may migrate into the mouth. You must check for the safety of raw materials, impurities, rancidity, and microorganisms, as well as fragrances, flavorings, essential oils, colorants, and plant extracts, in accordance with the actual method of use.
| Confirmation area | Basis for required finished products | RFQ Adjudication Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Nighttime moisture and barrier | After applying before bed, lip moisture and TEWL the next day | Presents the immediate sealing effect and the results of repeated use separately. |
| Dead skin cells/roughness | Standardized photography and evaluation of the appearance of dry skin and cracks | Proven improvement in appearance through moisturization rather than physical removal |
| Sensitive Lips Suitability | Repeated nighttime use, stinging, itching, and reactions around the lips | Confirmed as a finished product free of added fragrances and flavorings, and claims for sensitive lips. |
| Usage and quality | Pillow/hair transfer, mouth taste, stability/preservative power/container suitability | It will persist overnight with a low risk of spreading, rancidity, and contamination. |
Dry and cracked lips have been reported to have higher TEWL and lower moisture content than normal lips. Therefore, not only moisture content but also moisture loss and roughness appearance must be evaluated together. Clinical study on lip TEWL and moisture
Expressions such as “treatment of cheilitis,” “wound healing,” or “permanent increase in lip volume” may go beyond the scope of general cosmetics. Product claims are limited to appearance and texture proven by the finished product, such as overnight moisture, visibly smoother and softer lips, and reduces the appearance of dry flakes .
A 15-20g jar makes it easy to dispense a thick balm and creates a premium image for the lip mask. However, since the spatula may come into repeated contact with the contents after contact with fingers and lips, it is recommended to provide an inner cap and a washable applicator.
Tube-type products offer hygiene, portability, and the convenience of direct application to the lips, but low-temperature discharge and high-temperature leakage of high-viscosity balms must be verified. Twist-up pumps offer superior hygiene and differentiation, but costs increase due to the number of parts, residual volume, and filling compatibility.
In terms of distribution stability, high-temperature sweating and oil separation, low-temperature hardening and granulation, long-term rancidity, and container leakage are checked. For raw materials with color and scent, such as berries, honey, and propolis, standards for batch-to-batch variation and discoloration over time must be established.
Global lip masks are categorized into mass-market US$7–15 , core US$16–28 , and premium ingredient/brand products US$29–45 or higher . Although they have a larger capacity and a larger single-use amount than lip balms, they may be used less frequently, so consumers expect to see noticeable effects the next day.
NoChemiLife is priced at US$18–24 per 15–20g . The pricing is based on its fragrance-free taste, ceramide–panthenol, suitability for sensitive lips, next-day hydration and flaking results, and low pillow transfer.
By combining full-sized products with small trial sizes, you can expand into travel and winter gifts as well as lip balm sets. While scented mini sets are highly suitable for gifting, it is clearer to operate them as a separate line from NoChemiLife's core products.

COSRX Balancium Ceramide Lip Butter Sleeping Mask is a butter-type K-Beauty product combining shea butter and ceramide. It serves as a direct benchmark when designing lip masks that prioritize barrier and moisturizing ingredients over fragrance or plumping effects. COSRX Official Product Information
The competitiveness of K-Beauty lies in rapidly developing formulas with distinct sensations, such as butter balm, jelly, and honey balm, as well as mini sets and fragrance collections. Buyers should prioritize comparing next-day hydration and skin appearance, nighttime transferability, and hygiene over famous scents or ingredients.
| RFQ Item | Buyer Requests | OEM/ODM Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Product Definition | Fragrance-free night lip mask for sensitive lips | Differences in Prescription and Exclusivity Between Ready Formula and Semi-/Full-Custom |
| Formula | Ceramide, Panthenol, Squalane, cushion balm texture | Actual active amount, oil/wax origin, vegan potential, and transfer control |
| Validation | Next day moisture, TEWL, exfoliation, roughness, and lip suitability | Testing institution, subject, period, and available claims |
| Containers and quality | 15~20g jar, inner cap, spatula, or sanitary tube | Sweating, granulation, rancidity, leakage, preservation ability and hygiene for repeated use |
| Commerce and exports | Full-size product, Mini, Lip balm set, Target country, Initial quantity | MOQ, container, printing, and testing fees, development period, and export documents |
The Buyer must specify in the Product Brief not only the fragrance but also whether it is excluded, vegan standards, nighttime application thickness, gloss, stickiness, and pillow transfer targets, as well as the container and retail price. If only a “lip sleeping pack” is requested, it is highly likely that an existing flavor base will be suggested.
Samples are applied in equal amounts, and retention, smudging around the mouth, transfer to hair and pillows, taste in the mouth, and exfoliation and washability the following day are compared in a sleeping environment. Hygiene and remaining contents in the container must also be verified under actual consumer usage conditions, including the use of a spatula.

The Go condition is when the fragrance-free balm stays on the lips overnight without smudging excessively, and the next day's results regarding lip moisture, TEWL, exfoliation, and roughness, as well as suitability for sensitive lips, are confirmed. If high and low temperature stability and hygiene for repeated use of the jar or tube are ensured, it is suitable as a global core product.
The "Hold" condition applies when a product is labeled for sensitive lips while exfoliating with sugar, granular, or acidic ingredients, or when it claims safety and restorative efficacy solely from the natural origins of honey or propolis. Strong flavors, bitter taste in the mouth, pillow transfer, high-temperature sweating, low-temperature granulation, and the risk of spatula contamination must also be improved.
The commercialization priority is higher for the fragrance-free and fragrance-free ceramide-panthenol overnight balm type than for the flavor, color, and plumping types . This is because it can clearly realize NoChemiLife's product value of sensitive lips and intensive night moisturization while distinguishing its function from No.059 lip balm.
