About the balm
KAHI Kisstin Tinted Balm Stick is a soft, moisturising balm with a sheer, cool pink tint for lips and cheeks. It looks bright fuchsia in the stick but goes on as a natural, dewy flush that suits most skin tones, and you can build it up for more colour.
Fermented Jeju botanicals and KAHI's complete collagen trio keep lips and cheeks feeling soft, while a peptide and adenosine help lips look smoother. It won't crack or powder, so it's easy to touch up anywhere. 9 g, developed in Korea.

Good to know
Questions, answered
What colour is the KAHI Kisstin Balm?
A cool, natural pink. The stick looks bright fuchsia, but it goes on sheer, as a soft rosy flush, and builds to a brighter pink with 2–3 layers.
Does it suit all skin tones?
KAHI describes the shade as universally flattering, and because it's sheer and buildable it suits most skin tones, from fair to deep.
Can I use it on both lips and cheeks?
Yes. It's made for both: swipe it over lips like a tinted balm and dab it onto cheeks for a dewy, natural flush.
Is it moisturising?
Yes. It's a balm first, with fermented Jeju botanicals and salmon DNA (PDRN) to keep lips and cheeks feeling soft, and it won't crack or powder the way some powders and pots can.
Can I wear it over make-up?
Yes. Dab it onto cheeks over your base and blend with a fingertip, or wear it on bare skin for a no-make-up look.
Is the KAHI Kisstin Balm vegan?
No. It contains salmon-derived collagen, PDRN (sodium DNA) and proteoglycan, so it isn't vegan. KAHI doesn't test on animals and is cruelty-free.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
It hasn't been tested during pregnancy, so please ask your GP or midwife before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding. The full ingredient list is below.
