CLIO Crystal Glam Balm Bare: only shades 01–02 list SPF30 in Japan

Five checks on CLIO's eight 3.2g Japanese lip-balm shades, their SPF labeling and what the PDRN claims do—and do not—mean.

Korean makeup brand CLIO launched the eight-shade Crystal Glam Balm Bare in Japan online on August 28, 2026. The official Japan release identifies only shade 01 Creamy Fig and 02 Pink Currant as SPF30 PA++; it does not extend that label to shades 03–08. 'Crystal Glam Balm' without 'Bare' is a distinct listing, so match the exact package and product name before comparing. This is an independent reading of official disclosures, not an editorial swatch, clinical result, SPF test or personal product review. The Japanese labels are not automatically those used in Korea or other markets.

  1. 01

    Verify the precise product name and shade count

    The Japanese product is Crystal Glam Balm Bare, 3.2g in eight shades. Do not confuse it with the similarly named Crystal Glam Balm shown in other official catalog listings.

  2. 02

    SPF30 PA++ appears only on 01 and 02

    The August 19, 2026 Japanese announcement explicitly marks #01 Creamy Fig and #02 Pink Currant SPF30 PA++. Do not assign those claims to #03–08. Lip protection still requires an adequate layer and reapplication as directed, plus appropriate sun protection.

  3. 03

    Treat the other six colors as names, not personal swatches

    The remaining advertised shades are #03 Tender Peach, #04 Rosy Lychee, #05 Juicy Guava, #06 Dew Cherry, #07 Honey Apple and #08 Honey Fig. Fruity color descriptions are marketing; the appearance varies with natural lip color and lighting.

  4. 04

    Understand the 10,000ppm PDRN-capsule claim

    CLIO refers to a 10,000ppm PDRN oil-capsule complex and footnotes BG, polyglyceryl-2 oleate, rice bran oil and DNA-Na as conditioning ingredients. This cosmetic claim is not evidence of injectable PDRN therapy, wound treatment or clinical skin regeneration. Fuller-looking lips are described as a makeup effect.

  5. 05

    Keep Japan pricing, shipping and safety local

    The Japanese launch announcement listed ¥1,800 tax-included as the Qoo10 official price on August 28. Current retailer price and shipping terms can differ, including direct shipping from Korea. Avoid applying balm to broken or irritated lips and stop if itching, redness or swelling occurs. Re-check SPF and formulations for purchases in other countries.

✦ Helpful tips

  • Two SPF-labelled shades do not make the entire eight-shade line SPF-rated.
  • Brand imagery is context, not our tested swatch or measured wear result.
  • Five minutes refers to reading this guide, not the product's application or SPF duration.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Stop use after persistent discomfort, swelling or reaction and seek clinical advice when appropriate.
  • Do not interpret the cosmetic PDRN complex as a medical treatment.
  • Read the individual purchased package before applying.
