Why has the Rêve de Miel® Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm been reformulated?

Since its launch almost 25 years ago, the Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm has become an iconic product. Thanks to its formula and amazing texture, it has established a reputation as a great lip care product recognised by many women for its immediate and long-term effectiveness. In 2018, Nuxe has decided to relaunch its legendary Lip Balm with an enriched formula combining efficacy and pleasure to take care of very dry and damaged lips.

What is the secret of this new formula?

This new formula still combines Honey, Precious Botanical Oils (Sweet Almond and Musk Rose), Beeswax and Allantoin to replenish, soothe and repair the lips. New features: a boosted concentration* of Shea Butter and a new beehive active ingredient: Propolis.

What is Propolis and what are its benefits?

Meaning “in front of the city” in Ancient Greek, propolis is a substance produced by bees to build, repair and protect the hive. It is produced from plant resins harvested by the most experienced bees. This resinous raw material is then added to wax and other components to make propolis, an extremely complex substance consisting of no fewer than 300 molecules (fatty acids, vitamins, polyphenols, minerals, etc.). It is a rare and precious substance, as the average annual yield per hive is around just ten/one hundred grams. A real treasure of nature, propolis has been recognised for thousands of years for its soothing, nourishing and tissue-regenerating properties.

Why was a Propolis Oleoactif® chosen?

Propolis is a resinous substance that is difficult to formulate in its natural state. Therefore, Nuxe has chosen a Propolis Oleoactif® (French origin) obtained using an exclusive extraction process called oleo-eco extraction. This dynamic and natural, solvent-free process respects both the environment and the raw materials. It allows optimum extraction of all the precious molecules of propolis using a carrier botanical oil (sunflower oil). The resulting Oleoactif® is rich in active molecules (triglycerides, unsaponifiables, fatty acids, etc.), making it an ideal ingredient to nourish and repair very dry and damaged lips.

Does the Lip Balm with Honey still have the same texture and fragrance?

Yes, this new balm has the same unique melting texture and the same delicious and natural fragrance of honey and grapefruit and lemon essential oils. Furthermore, according to a comparative test, women still experience the same pleasure of use with this new formula**.
