Inside the formula.
We scored every ingredient individually. Some impressed us. Others raised serious questions.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
A synthetic oil that provides smoothness but is difficult to biodegrade.
60/100
Polybutene
A sticky binder that maximizes shine but has a poor ecological footprint.
55/100
Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
A synthetic polymer that pollutes the environment as liquid microplastic.
30/100
Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
A plastic-based film-former that contributes to texture but is difficult to degrade.
30/100
Parfum (Fragrance)
A mixture of fragrances that can cause allergic irritation in sensitive individuals.
50/100

A preservative with allergenic potential that ensures product shelf life.
45/100
Propyl Gallate
A synthetic antioxidant criticized for its potential to trigger hypersensitivity reactions.
40/100
Tocopherol
Natural vitamin E, which nourishes the skin and protects ingredients from oxidation.
100/100
Ethylhexyl Palmitate
A re-fattening lipid that ensures a smooth skin surface.
85/100
Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
A stabilizer to maintain the formula, which, however, has a potentially environmentally harmful effect.

Chapter III · The Deep Dive
Our expert's complete verdict.
The Dior Lip Glow Oil is a luxurious lip product that combines the shiny look of a gloss with the nourishing effect of an oil. It was developed to protect the lips and enhance their natural color through moisture.
🟡 Overall Rating: Moderately concerning
The product combines high-quality plant oils such as cherry kernel oil with a variety of synthetic film formers and polymers. While skin compatibility is good for most users, the synthetic plastics (liquid microplastics) contained hinder a better rating.
Individual assessment of key ingredients
| Inhaltsstoff | Bewertung | Funktion & Wirkung |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrogenated Polyisobutene | 🟡 | Synthetic oil, serves as an emollient and provides texture; difficult to biodegrade. |
| Tridecyl Trimellitate | 🟢 | Skin conditioning agent that regulates viscosity and provides a smooth feel. |
| Polybutene | 🟡 | Binder and viscosity regulator, provides the typical shine and adhesion on the lips. |
| Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate | 🟢 | A lipid that softens the skin and acts as an emulsifier. |
| Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer | 🔴 | Synthetic polymer that acts as a film former; considered liquid microplastic. |
| Ethylhexyl Palmitate | 🟢 | A nourishing oil (ester) that smoothes the skin and improves spreadability. |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | 🟢 | Neutral oil from coconut fat; very well tolerated, re-greasing and low irritation. |
| Parfum (Fragrance) | 🟡 | Fragrances; can cause irritation in very sensitive individuals or allergy sufferers. |
| Luffa Cylindrica Seed Oil | 🟢 | Sponge gourd seed oil; has a nourishing effect and supports the skin's barrier function. |
| Prunus Avium Seed Oil | 🟢 | Sweet cherry kernel oil; rich in vitamins and antioxidants, provides intensive moisture. |
| Tocopherol | 🟢 | Vitamin E; serves as an antioxidant to protect ingredients and the skin. |
| Ci 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) | 🟢 | White pigment of mineral origin for coloring. |
| Benzyl Alcohol | 🟡 | Preservative and fragrance component with some allergenic potential. |
Environmental compatibility
The formulation contains a mixture of natural oils and a significant amount of synthetic substances, which affects the ecological balance.
- ◈Biodegradability: Due to the high proportion of synthetic polymers (e.g., Polybutene, Copolymers), the product is difficult to biodegrade.
- ◈Microplastics: Contains synthetic polymers (copolymers) that can fall under the definition of liquid microplastics/poorly degradable plastics.
- ◈Silicones/Mineral oils: No direct silicones or classic mineral oils (Paraffinum Liquidum) are listed, but synthetic hydrocarbons (Polyisobutene) are.
- ◈Palm oil issue: Ingredients such as Ethylhexyl Palmitate or Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride are often palm oil-based; information on sustainable cultivation (RSPO) is not available from the INCI list.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion: The Dior Lip Glow Oil offers an aesthetically pleasing finish and good nourishing properties thanks to cherry kernel and Luffa oil. Technically, however, it is a highly synthetic product that shows weaknesses, especially in terms of environmental compatibility.
Recommendation:
- ◈Who is it suitable for? Ideal for users seeking a long-lasting high-gloss finish and comfortable wear, and who do not show allergic reactions to fragrances.
- ◈Special notes: Due to the contained copolymers, it is less suitable for proponents of certified natural cosmetics.
- ◈Purchase recommendation: Conditionally recommended – a high-quality luxury product with excellent performance, but with ecological drawbacks.
