Omija, Squalane, and Overnight Lip Care

Korean overnight lip masks are a small, giftable way to take care of skin that shows dryness first. One formula we look for is hwarang’ Omija Glow Lip Mask. The notes below come from the brand’s published product page and ingredient list, not from reviews we invented.

What omija is

Omija is the Korean name for Schisandra chinensis fruit, sometimes called the five-flavor berry. On the Omija Glow Lip Mask ingredient list it appears as Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, alongside glutathione.

hwarang’ describes the formula as a nourishing treatment for dry, chapped-looking lips, with omija extract and glutathione as antioxidant ingredients in the mix. That is cosmetic language: it is about how lips look and feel, not a medical treatment.

What else is in the jar

The published INCI list also includes:

  • Squalane, jojoba seed oil, and olive fruit oil, which the brand says soften and smooth lips overnight
  • Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, arginine/lysine polypeptide) plus hydrolyzed collagen, which the brand positions for a plump, youthful-looking appearance
  • Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) for hydration
  • Berry and botanical extracts, including raspberry seed oil, black currant, pomegranate, and sea buckthorn fruit oil

The brand says the red color comes from lithospermum root, pomegranate, black currant, and sea buckthorn — not added dye. We are repeating that as a brand statement, not as a lab test we ran.

The INCI list also includes fragrance, so this is not a fragrance-free product even if some listings describe it that way.

How to use it

hwarang’ presents it as an overnight mask or a daily balm: a moisture-glaze texture that sits on the lips. For gifting, that is the whole pitch. It is small, does not require a 10-step routine, and is easy to explain at a Naples, Florida pop-up.

If someone already uses a thicker cream at night, a lip mask is the piece that often gets skipped. Putting one on before bed is enough.
