The Melting Moment

Geisha once melted candy on their lips for a glossy look and to evoke torori, the moment of melting when solid turns to softness. It’s a transformation that softens not only the lips, but also the heart.

Reviews

Disappointed

"Not what I expected. I had very high expectations as I am a loyal Tatcha customer and usually love their products. This was a disappointment. I’ve tried cheaper lip balms that work better, this dries out my lips and there’s definitely no color tint. It just looks like a clear balm on my lips"

Farheen A. (1/5)

LOVE THIS MELTING LIP BALM!

"Only 4 Stars because it IS pricy, but I LOVE this melting balm! So much so that I discarded ALL of my other lip products, except for the "famous" sleeping mask. I ordered this in shade Papuru and it suits me. Milky-looking but sheer, smooth texture, DEFINITELY melts into lips. I reapplied only for the sake of enjoying the application! But reapplication was not necessary. I will DEFINITELY repurchase and stock up! I HIGHLY recommend this!"

Ly C. (4/5)

New favorite!

"The moment the applicator touched my lips, I knew I was in love. For my everyday, I’m usually just an Aquaphor gal. This is just as moisturizing, yet with a touch of color so you feel polished. So soft, moisturizing, and not sticky!"

Kristina W. (5/5)

Very disappointing

"This lip balm/lip gloss has the consistency of the cheap watery ones we wore in junior high school. Absolutely no staying power so you have to constantly reapply it. I applied it maybe three or four times and I was done. I love my Tatcha moisturizers but this product will not be purchased again."

Lineo T. (1/5)

It’s fine

"I’m always hoping for a product that’s actually going to keep my lips moisturized but I don’t know if it exists. This one is fine, but no better than others I’ve tried. So for the price, I probably won’t order it again."

Laura J. (3/5)

Perfect everyday balm

"I’ve been using this item in Pinku, and it honestly feels so luxury. The texture is super smooth and melts into your lips, giving that hydrated, glossy look without feeling heavy or sticky. It leaves the prettiest sheer pink tint and is very natural, perfect for everyday. If you love a balm that feels nourishing and looks pretty, it’s so worth it. #giftedbytatcha"

Ajla P. (5/5)

Hydrating and nourishing

"I love new Melting Lip Balm by Tatcha. It feels very hydrating and nourishing on my lips. It comes in a luxurious packaging with a soft silicone tip. I really love the scent and texture. I have shade Pinku which is a pretty neutral pink and it gives my lips just the right amount of color and shine. I keep it in my purse and apply it multiple times a day. Perfect for on-the-go. Definitely my new favorite lip balm. Complimentary from Tatcha."

Jessica (5/5)

Lip balm

"A very soft color and silky smooth. Love this lip balm."

Whitney P. (5/5)

Gummy texture

"Unfortunately this was a miss for me. It felt gummy and tacky. It did stay on though."

Marianne D. (3/5)

My favorite balm!

"Absolutely love this balm. Makes my lips feel soft, not sticky like other balms, color is just right for me."

Repair While You Protect: Barrier-Repair Sunscreens Are the Newest Skincare Technology

Sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays, but it is proven to also protect the skin barrier by shielding it from free radicals and preventing dehydration (from repeated sun exposure). However, some modern sunscreen formulas include additional ingredients that can actually repair and strengthen the skin barrier while also shielding from UVA and UVB rays.  Look for ingredients that tout their reparative nature, like ectoin, alongside SPF 30+ formulas, to ensure skin is protected while it repairs.

Many moisturizers hydrate, but the right formula can also impart a dewy glow. These options actually work to get the skin naturally glowing over time, which is exactly what Tatcha’s dewy moisturizers accomplish. These formulas are powered by Hadasei-3, a potent and proprietary complex formulated to hydrate, gently resurface, and even make the products applied afterwards work better.  Tatcha has many moisturizers, but two specific formulas that embrace dewiness: The Dewy Skin Cream and The Dewy Milk Moisturizer.

What is Fukubiki?

The Japanese game of fukubiki is a centuries-old tradition still practiced today at seasonal festivals and even retailers. Learn about the custom and how you can win up to 4 complimentary minis for a limited time. What’s your favorite summer activity? If you have the chance to visit Japan, you’ll likely get to experience one of its famous summer festivals, or natsu matsuri. Though each has its own meaning and purpose, at their root most seasonal festivals are held to honor nature’s gifts, reconnect with the community, and pray for good fortune. These vibrant and colorful celebrations are often a showcase of the neighborhood with local craft vendors, dancing, fireworks, carnival games, and even a lottery known as fukubiki.  The traditional game is said to have originated in 702 when Emperor Shomu held a New Year’s party where strips of paper were drawn for prizes like a beautiful cloth. Modern versions are sure-win raffles that can be held anytime of year where paper fukubiki are drawn from a wooden box. Fukubiki are said to reveal one’s fortune, and in more recent years, earn you a prize at your favorite retailer from mystery bags to discounts.  To bring the spirit of good fortune to you, we’ve started our own fukubiki-inspired tradition. From July 30th to August 9th, everyone will be a winner with a choice of up to four complimentary minis with a $100+ order. You may even win the chance to choose a full-size prize!
