The brand provides detailed product descriptions on Instagram and quickly shares event notices, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend their cleanser, lotion, and cream as well. ✨ Texture & Application Compared to the initial lip balm, the texture has become incredibly soft. It melts quickly on the skin and applies smoothly. There's no grainy feeling, and the wide surface area makes it easy to apply to various areas. The Maeilbam is a great daily product that can be applied lightly without feeling burdensome. ✨ Packaging The paper case is quite sturdy, so I don't have to worry about it tearing easily. The cute raccoon photo is a bonus! The sliding mechanism has become much smoother after the renewal, making it easy to use. I just gently slide it up and tap it back down to store it. It's really not difficult to get used to at all!! ✨ Fragrance The fragrance is neutral, similar to an ointment, which makes it comfortable to apply without any burden. I'm glad it's not artificially scented, which gives me more confidence in the product. Many lip balms on the market have fragrances, so even if I liked the texture and application, I often didn't want to repurchase. But the Monage Maeilbam satisfies me in every aspect!
Cons🐳 Case The lid doesn't seal tightly like a typical lip balm, so it's a bit tricky to carry around. I just keep it on my desk and apply it whenever I can! That's enough for me. Portable tips are below! There's nothing else particularly negative.
Tip🍊 Tip for Applying! Don't push the lip balm directly. Instead, gently tap the lip balm with your other hand. (See the 4th photo) It glides in so smoothly! 🍊 Tip for Portability! Putting the lip balm in an elongated cylindrical container (like an empty probiotic bottle) is perfect. It increases the size a bit, but there's less risk of losing the lid or damaging the case/contents. 🍊 Tip for Portability 2! If the size is too bulky, you can cut down a sample-sized jar and carry that around instead! Since it melts easily with body heat, you can just swipe it on with a clean finger. I refilled a sample jar from the Almaeng Shop in Mangwon-dong, Seoul. They sell 3g sizes too!

First Impression The paper packaging was a really refreshing touch! I'm trying to minimize plastic as much as possible, and this was the aspect I liked the most. 2. Usage Experience The push-out method, instead of the twisting mechanism, was a first for me, but it felt very convenient. It has a thick, vaseline-like texture, but it melts smoothly when applied, and the moisturizing effect is clearly noticeable. 3. Fragrance While some others may have mixed feelings about the fragrance, I barely noticed any scent. Those with sensitive noses may detect a slight oil-like fragrance from the vaseline. 4. Advantages of the Multi-Balm It can be used not only on the lips, but also on the face and body. I used it when my face or hands were dry, or for elbow care. The versatility of application areas was very convenient, and the compact size was great as well. 5. Overall Evaluation I felt this product embodied all the advantages of a multi-balm. I didn't really notice any significant downsides, and it suited my skin well.
ConsThe downside is that it starts off quite firm and solid, and can sometimes crumble and flake off a bit. This aspect was a bit disappointing, but if the outer surface was slightly convex when finished, it could melt smoothly without the product getting damaged and falling apart. This is just my first impression, though.
TipTry using it conveniently on areas you usually have a hard time caring for, such as elbows, neck, or heels~

The product is wide, so it can cover my lips and the surrounding area that tends to get dry in one application, which I found convenient. Being colorless and odorless, I can reapply it anytime, whether I'm inside or outside, which I appreciated!
ConsYou can't twist the product to push it up or pull it down, and once you push it up, that's it, so you need to be careful. While there's no major inconvenience when using it, there is a risk of the product becoming difficult to use if you make a mistake.
TipThe product is a bit crumbly and powdery when first opened, so it's best to open it in a comfortable place and then carry it with you.

When I used this product, there were no issues and I liked it! So I was able to apply it with more confidence! - Color & Fragrance The color is colorless and there seems to be no fragrance! So I think even those sensitive to fragrance can use it without any burden! - Texture & Application The texture is a bit firmer than expected, so I warmed it up with my fingers before applying it to my lips. It applied quite well, which was nice. - Design I think the design was the cat? It was too cute☺️ And it being eco-friendly made it even better!
ConsSince this is not a typical twist-up product but one where you have to press up from the bottom, you do have to be a bit careful when pressing it up. That was a bit inconvenient. And since it's made of paper, it seems like it might peel off easily, so it might be difficult to use it freely.

I got a really cute vibe from the Salki design and definitely felt it was eco-friendly.
ConsIf there was any flaky skin on my lips, it didn't apply as smoothly. It didn't seem very effective at softening the flaky skin. But when my lips were smooth, I really enjoyed the feel of applying it, so I find myself reaching for it often.
TipI primarily applied it to my lips and fingertips.

At first, it was a bit stiff and didn't apply smoothly, but if you lightly dab it on your lips and let it sit for a moment, it applies really well! If you've been curious about the application, I'd recommend trying this method:) 👄 Moisturizing It seems to keep my lips very moisturized for a long time. As someone with quite dry lips, this is a product I reach for often. 👄 Design The design is environmentally-conscious, and the cute animal photos make for an adorable package.
ConsThe way you have to raise the product is a bit inconvenient - you have to directly press the bottom of the container with your finger, rather than twisting or using another method. It's difficult to control the amount that comes out, and if too much comes out, you have to press it back in with your fingers.
TipIf you apply it generously before bed, your lips will be so soft and moisturized when you wake up in the morning!

I usually use calming and scar-managing skincare products. The formula is a solid stick that applies smoothly. At first, the cut surface feels a bit rough, so I recommend rubbing it on the back of your hand a few times before applying it gently around the sensitive eye area. I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation while using it. The ingredients seem to be quite good, so I feel assured. Even though I'm usually sensitive to scents, I didn't have any issues with this product. True to its eco-friendly and vegan claims, the packaging is made of paper and the product itself is also paper-based. The cute animal design is very appealing!
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but once I push the product up, it doesn't go back down again.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product is perfect for me as I prefer products with good glide and no fragrance. The moisturizing power seems to be medium-high (in my opinion). I always use a Vaseline lip balm as my main product, but Vaseline can feel a bit heavy, so I was looking for a lighter product. This product is really lightweight for daily use, but it still provides good moisturization.
ConsWhile it's a good vegan product, the packaging being vegan means you have to push it up from the bottom, which is inconvenient. You have to push it back down after it comes up, so your fingers can't really touch the product. Also, the stick is quite thick, so I had to use my fingers to apply it, which was a bit uncomfortable since it doesn't apply directly to the lips.
TipApplying it in thin layers multiple times provides sufficient moisturization. It's great to use this thoroughly before applying a lip color product!

It applies smoothly and has no scent, so there's no aversion to it, and the moisturizing power is really good, but it doesn't feel too rich, which I like even more! I've only been using the lip balms I received as gifts, and they were getting too dry, so I was thinking of buying a new lip balm, but I'm so glad I found this great product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I recommend trying it out if you've been unsatisfied with the luxury brand lip balms like Olay.
ConsThe only downside is that the packaging is made of paper, which is a bit disappointing, but considering the environment, it's not too bad to say that.
TipWhen using it for the first time, the surface may feel a bit stiff, as if it's coated, so I recommend rubbing it on the back of your hand a few times before using it.

The fragrance-free and minimally flavored products did not cause any dizziness. As I am the type who gets dizzy from strong scents all day long, this was a great product. The packaging is made of paper instead of plastic, which is novel and shows more consideration for the environment, which I appreciated.
ConsSince it is a paper product, you cannot simply twist it up and down. Instead, you have to press the paper part to make it go up and down, and you have to tap the bottom to make it go down, which is a bit disappointing.
TipIt lightly filled in the areas around my lips, nails, and the sides of my nose that tend to get flaky, without any patchiness, which I was very satisfied with!
