Torriden Balanceful Lip Essence in Japan: five shades and two makeup artists

A five-check guide to the Korean brand's October 2026 Japanese lip essence colors, sizes and creative credits.

Korean skincare label Torriden introduced its Japan-market Balanceful Lip Essence in collaboration with Korean makeup artist Seo Ga-ram (MYUMYU) and Japan-based Yoko Nasu. Maruman H&B, the local distributor, announced clear #1 on October 6, 2026 and tinted #2–#5 on October 26. Torriden Japan lists all five shades. Each is 11mL, but artist credits differ. This information does not establish the same launch or ingredients in Korea. We have not personally used, swatched or wear-tested the products.

  1. 01

    Find the clear #1 first

    #1 Clear Boba is the transparent gloss version released in Japan on October 6. The brand suggests it for lip care or optional layering over lipstick, not as a compulsory makeup step.

  2. 02

    Separate the creative credits for #2 and #3

    #2 Vintage Fig was supervised by Japanese artist Yoko Nasu alone. #3 Milk Hazel was co-supervised by Nasu and Korean artist Seo Ga-ram (MYUMYU). Advertised color names are not verified skin-by-skin swatches.

  3. 03

    Check who supervised #4 and #5

    #4 Bare Peach was also co-supervised by Nasu and MYUMYU, while #5 Dewy Rose was supervised by MYUMYU alone. The stated coral and rose directions may look different on natural lip colors.

  4. 04

    Do not globalize Japan's prices or volumes

    All Japanese variants are 11mL. The announcement listed tax-inclusive ¥1,100 for #1 and ¥1,210 each for #2–#5. Current prices, availability and any Korean-market equivalent must be checked separately.

  5. 05

    Treat ingredients as cosmetic claims, not treatment

    The distributor lists centella/CICA-related material and DNA-Na, plus a claim about dull-looking lips linked to dryness and makeup appearance. These are not medical proof of treating hyperpigmentation. Avoid sharing lip applicators and stop use on irritated lips.
