Lip Serum

Here’s an updated overview of Pilgrim’s Lip Serum lineup, including the Bubblegum variant and other fun flavor options & what people are saying:

🌸 Available Lip Serum Variants

Pilgrim currently offers these unisex lip serums:

  • Bubblegum (Squalane Bubblegum Lip Serum): The most popular one—roll-on, 6 ml, sweet glossy finish with squalane, shea butter, almond & jojoba oils, and pomegranate extract for hydration, plumping, and softness 

  • Strawberry Squalane Lip Serum: Similar formula with a strawberry scent, but otherwise the same moisturizing and plumping ingredients

  • Peppermint Squalane Lip Serum: Minty-flavored version with cooling peppermint oil, same nourishing base ingredients

🧪 Ingredients at a Glance

From Pilgrim’s official listing and INCI decoding sites, here's what goes into the Bubblegum variant

  • Key hydrating & emollient ingredients: Squalane, shea butter, almond oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, pomegranate extract

  • Synthetic/emulsifiers and antioxidants: Hydrogenated polyisobutene, caprylic capric triglyceride, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, tocopheryl acetate, antioxidants

  • Flavor & color: Food-grade flavor and CI 26100 colorant — responsible for strong scent and controversial status

  • Pilgrim Squalane Bubblegum Lip Serum 6 ml – the original, most widely available; adds sweet shine, slightly plumps lips.

  • Pilgrim Squalane Strawberry Lip Serum 6 ml – identical ingredient base in strawberry scent; gentle alternative to bubblegum.

  • Pilgrim Squalane Peppermint Lip Serum 6 ml – peppermint-flavored, offering refreshing cooling effect.

🧾 Who Should or Shouldn't Try It?

  • Good for you if you want a light, flavoured, glossy serum with instant softness and a fun flavor; ideal as a gloss alternative.

  • Not ideal if you have fragrance sensitivity, very dry or chapped lips seeking heavy-duty moisturization, or are concerned about synthetic flavor/color ingredients—patch testing strongly advised.

🔍 Safety & Usage Tips

  • Patch test first—especially if lips are sensitive. Avoid if irritation occurs.

  • Use alongside a plain lip balm or overnight mask for added hydration.

  • Not formulated with SPF or tint—best as a hydrating gloss serum.

📝 Final Thoughts

The Pilgrim Squalane Lip Serum series offers a fun, hydrating lip treat with light plumping action and playful flavors. While it works well as a gloss-like serum, it may be less suitable for dry-chapped lips or those avoiding synthetic food flavor/color ingredients. Proceed with caution (patch testing recommended) and pair it smartly for best hydration.
