NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
by NYX Professional Makeup · makeup
Editor's Take
NYX gets the glossy, cushiony finish right, but Mineral Oil and Polybutene keep it firmly in throwback drugstore territory rather than modern formulation.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 4.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 1.9 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 1.6 / 10
The Verdict
On lips, Polybutene, Diisostearyl Malate and beeswax provide strong shine, cushion and staying power without classic gloss tack. The gel-oil texture is formula, though hardly cutting-edge. Mineral oil, paraffin, polyethylene, synthetic colors and fragrance pull it sharply down on cleaner formulation and sustainability, with repeated oral-exposure details left unverified. Worth it for straightforward shine, with a petroleum-heavy base as the trade-off.
