THE SCIENCE OF SOFT LIPS
Le Chouchou was designed to work with your lips, not against them. Its deeply moisturizing formula helps soften the outermost layer of dry skin, allowing flakes that are already ready to shed to naturally come away more easily.
That process has a name: desquamation—your skin’s natural cycle of renewal. Consistent hydration helps dry, flaky skin shed more efficiently, so with regular use, lips feel progressively softer and smoother.
Swipe on the ultra-comfy jelly to cocoon lips in bouncy moisture and vivid color.

1. What makes Le Chouchou different from other lip balms?
Le Chouchou doesn’t just sit on lips or temporarily coat them with moisture. It’s a clinically proven daily lip treatment designed to make dry, flaky lips feel softer and smoother with consistent use. Its rich, occlusive formula locks in moisture while supporting your lips’ natural renewal process, plus delivers buildable color and reflective, non-sticky shine.
2. Is Le Chouchou a hydrating lip balm?
Yes - and hydration is central to how Le Chouchou works. Its rich, occlusive formula locks moisture into the surface of the lips, helping soften dry, built-up skin and support the natural renewal process. With consistent use, lips feel softer, smoother and less flaky over time.
3. Why do I sometimes see little rolls of skin after applying Le Chouchou?
Deep hydration can soften built-up dead skin until it naturally loosens and sheds. This process is called desquamation—your skin’s normal cycle of renewal.
When softened dead skin gathers together as you rub your lips, it can look more dramatic than what’s actually happening. What you’re mostly seeing is skin that was already ready to shed—not healthy skin being stripped away.
4. Can I use Le Chouchou every day?
Absolutely. Le Chouchou was formulated as a daily lip treatment and can be reapplied throughout the day. Each application primarily replenishes moisture and keeps lips comfortably hydrated—not stacks stronger and stronger exfoliation.
In fact, consistent hydration helps support natural desquamation, which is why regular use can help lips feel progressively softer, smoother and less flaky over time.
5. Does Le Chouchou contain lactic acid?
Yes—but context matters. Lactic acid can behave very differently depending on how it’s formulated.
Lactic acid is naturally part of skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor, which helps skin hold onto water. At the pH we formulated Le Chouchou at, it functions as a humectant, not an exfoliant, helping support moisture rather than aggressively resurfacing lips.
6. What are Hibiscus Flower Acids?
Hibiscus Flower Acids are ketoacids, a distinct class of acids known for being gentle on skin. They help support natural renewal for softer, smoother lips and have been independently tested for 28 days with no irritation, even at a concentration far higher than what we use in Le Chouchou.
7. Can Le Chouchou over-exfoliate my lips?
Le Chouchou is designed to work with your lips’ natural renewal process, not force it. Its deeply moisturizing formula softens dead skin that is already ready to shed so it can release more easily.
That’s different from aggressive exfoliation, which can disrupt skin before it’s ready. Le Chouchou is formulated for daily use and reapplication throughout the day.
8. Does Le Chouchou help repair dry or cracked lips?
Yes. Clinically proven to deliver immediate comfort and long-term improvement: after one use, 97% felt more hydrated and 100% said their lips felt soothed and more comfortable. After two weeks, 97% said their lips stayed hydrated all day, 94% reported smoother texture, and 94% said Le Chouchou worked better—and lasted longer—than any balm they’d tried before.
Its rich, moisture-locking formula helps support the lip barrier with continued use, so dry, compromised lips feel softer, smoother and more comfortable over time.
9. Does Le Chouchou just sit on top of your lips?
No—and that’s one of the things that makes Le Chouchou different from a traditional gloss or balm. The cushiony formula immediately cocoons lips in moisture, while consistent use helps soften dry, flaky skin and improve how lips feel over time.
Swipe on the ultra-comfy jelly to cocoon lips in bouncy moisture, buildable color and reflective shine.
10. What does Le Chouchou feel like on the lips?
Le Chouchou has an ultra-comfy, cushiony jelly texture that cocoons lips in moisture without feeling heavy or sticky. It applies completely smooth—never gritty—and leaves lips soft and glossy.
11. Is Le Chouchou a lip plumper?
Le Chouchou isn’t a traditional tingling or stinging lip plumper. Its peptide-powered, deeply moisturizing formula helps lips look smoother, softer and visibly fuller while keeping them comfortable.
12. Does Le Chouchou tingle or burn?
No. Le Chouchou is designed to feel soothing and comfortable on lips, without the minty, burning or tingling sensation associated with traditional lip plumpers.
13. Can I use Le Chouchou as an overnight lip treatment?
Absolutely. Apply a generous layer before bed to deeply moisturize and condition lips overnight. With consistent use, lips feel progressively softer, smoother and less flaky.
14. Can I use Le Chouchou before applying lipstick?
Yes. Apply Le Chouchou while you get ready to soften and condition lips before makeup. Blot away any excess before applying lip liner or lipstick for a smoother-looking canvas.
15. Can I wear Le Chouchou as a gloss?
Yes. Wear it alone for buildable color and reflective shine, or layer it over lip liner. SpreadIt™ Polymer Technology helps the formula spread evenly and keeps color within the lip line—without the sticky feel of a traditional gloss.
16. How pigmented is Le Chouchou?
Le Chouchou delivers buildable color designed to work across all skin types and tones. Wear one swipe for a sheer wash or layer for more color payoff, while allowing your natural lip tone to still come through.
17. Is Le Chouchou vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Le Chouchou is vegan, cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested. It’s also formulated without lanolin.
18. Is Le Chouchou made with lanolin?
No. Le Chouchou is completely lanolin-free and vegan. Instead, its nourishing formula uses plant-derived emollients including Brazilian açaí and African mongongo butters to deeply condition dry lips.
