According to the company, in collaboration with 43 global beauty influencers—93% of whom stated they believe that flavor can influence or affect one’s mood or state of mind—it developed a “flavortherapy” aspect to this product range. The resulting eos Flavor Lab collection consists of four lip balms: Exhale, Chill, Boost and Dream.
Each flavor reportedly has been shown to improve the user’s feeling of being recharged, refreshed, calm and/or comforted.
For example, 74% of users said the flavor of the Exhale lip balm fit with a refreshed and recharged mindset; > 90% said they would use the Boost lip balm when they wake up, or for a quick afternoon boost.
