10ml / 0.35 oz

Submission Beauty™ Balm Shiny is a multifunctional plant-based balm intended for all skin types. It can be used as an eye and lip gloss, as a highlighter, and to set Submission’s biodegradable glitter. Lightly scented with natural essential oils of blood orange, bergamot and vanilla, Balm Shiny provides the ultimate soft shine, and helps to hydrate and soothe dry skin. The formula’s carefully selected ingredients include shea butter and almond and jojoba oils, promoting a healthy glow, and the balm is also rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and E. As with all Submission products, Balm Shiny is delivered in zero-plastic packaging and shipping materials, preventing toxic plastic from leaching into the product, the body, and the environment.

We currently only ship within the US, but for EU and UK orders you can find a full list of our stockists here.

How to apply

Gently activate our multifunctional balm with the fingertips or using a brush. Apply to lips and eyelids for high gloss, apply to cheekbones for a healthy radiance, or smooth into dry skin. Additionally, use balm to set Submission biodegradable glitter.

Environmental benefits
  • As a rule of thumb, Submission believes that what's harmful to the body is often harmful to the environment as well. That is why our balms are vegan and made from natural and plant-derived ingredients in order to avoid toxins leaching into our personal and shared ecosystems. Additionally, our zero-plastic containers consist of a glass base and tin cap, and are delivered in zero-plastic packaging and shipping materials, eliminating pollutive plastic from the product lifecycle.
  • We encourage friends in the Los Angeles area to bring their empty Submission containers to our Silver Lake flagship for discounts, glitter refills, or responsible disposal.

Made From Plants, Not In A Plant

Plenty of beauty brands tout their products as vegan (which we support in full) while failing to address another set of ingredients that pose an equal, if not greater, harm: toxic chemical compounds that threaten to degrade our bodies and environment. These chemicals are often included in beauty products and their packaging in order to cut costs or create artificial effects, when superior results can be achieved with plant-based and organic extracts and materials with far less risk and waste. At Submission we live by the maxim “trust your nature,” prioritizing ingredients in our products that are plant-based, in addition to those that are vegan and cruelty-free.
