Starting a beauty brand means understanding your products better than anyone else — especially when it comes to formulas that seem similar but serve completely different purposes. If you're planning to launch lip products, knowing the differences between lip gloss, lip treatment, lip balm, and lip cream will help you make smarter decisions about your line, your marketing, and your customers.
This guide breaks everything down in a simple way, so you can choose the right products for your brand and your audience.
