Check Mamonde’s relaunched Creamy Tint Color Balm shades and Prep Balm

Even if you recognize the old product name, check the new shades and ingredients. The brand says it has changed the formula and ingredients.

What changed in this relaunch?

Mamonde says it brought the Color Balm back after requests following its discontinuation. It retains the crayon format, with an adjusted formula, added moisturizing ingredients and new shades.

Checked on October 24, 2026. The announced sales start does not establish current stock, so check whether the store you plan to visit has your chosen shade.

How do the six shades differ?

The shades are Velvet Red and five additions: Chilling Cherry, Rosy Taro, Peach Nuts, Healthy Rose and Melo Rose. Melo Rose is identified as an Olive Young exclusive.

A shade name alone is not enough to decide whether it suits a warm or cool undertone. The official announcement does not give skin-tone recommendations or detailed swatch conditions for each shade. If you are looking for Velvet Red again, compare the shade name with the relaunch information in the product details.

The brand says you can adjust color intensity by adding layers. The announcement does not include comparative tests showing which shade is deeper or lasts longer, so there is no wear-time ranking here.

What should you check in the ingredient description?

The announcement names selected ingredients. It does not provide a full ingredient list or concentrations.

This table cannot tell you whether a product contains fragrance or excludes an ingredient that did not suit you before. Open the full ingredient list for the shade you intend to buy, and avoid treating an old formula’s list as the current one. Check the Prep Balm separately rather than assuming it has the same ingredients as the Color Balm.

When does the Prep Balm go on?

Mamonde presents the Prep Balm as a product used before lip makeup to smooth lip texture and help color look even. It says the product can be paired with the Color Balm or other lip makeup.

1. Check the product name to distinguish the Prep Balm from the Color Balm.
2. If using the Prep Balm too, refer to the brand’s description of it as a step before lip makeup.
3. Follow the product’s directions for amounts and waiting time, which are not specified in the announcement.

For lip color, start with the Color Balm’s shade chart. For a product to use before makeup, read the Prep Balm’s directions first. Choose according to the role you need.

What else should you check on the packaging?

• Check the shade name and relaunch information in the product details.
• Read the size and full ingredient list for the specific product and shade.
• Check the packaging for Korean functional-cosmetic labeling, which the announcement does not establish.
• Read the Prep Balm’s detailed directions and precautions separately.

Stop using the product and consult a professional if redness, itching or other unusual symptoms occur. When buying a gift, confirm whether the recipient wants the Color Balm or Prep Balm as well as the shade name.
