Merit Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm Cava — sheer cream highlighter, hydrating squalane & olive oil

This illuminating balm is designed for daytime wear when you want a subtle, skin-like glow rather than glittery shine. The lightweight formula melts into the skin to create a fresh, hydrated finish that layers easily over skin or makeup. Enriched with plant-derived squalane, olive fruit oil, phytosterols and amino acids, the balm supports the skin’s moisture barrier while enhancing natural radiance.

How does this balm give a "lit-from-within" glow without looking shimmery?

Instead of reflective glitter, Merit Day Glow uses a sheer, creamy base that catches and diffuses light for a soft, pearlescent sheen. The result is a fresh, glass-skin effect that reads like dewy skin rather than an obvious highlighter stripe. It’s formulated to blend seamlessly so the finish looks natural from every angle.

• Sheer, non-sparkling luminous finish
• Cream-to-skin texture that melts and diffuses light
• Designed for subtle daytime radiance

Will it hydrate and help my skin look healthy all day?

The balm contains hydrating emollients—plant-based squalane and olive fruit oil—that lock in moisture and help skin appear plump and smooth. A vitamin-rich base with phytosterols and amino acids supports the skin barrier to reduce moisture loss, so the glow appears natural and sustained beyond initial application. Because it’s lightweight, it layers comfortably under or over foundation.

• Plant squalane and olive oil for moisture retention
• Phytosterols and amino acids to support barrier resilience
• Non-greasy finish suitable for layering

How do I apply Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm for best results?

Apply sparingly to high points—cheekbones, brow bone, cupid’s bow, or the bridge of the nose—then blend using fingertips or a small brush for a seamless finish. Because the formula is sheer and buildable, start with a dot and add more only where you want extra luminosity. It works well alone for a no-makeup look or over makeup to boost sheen without disturbing foundation.

• Use fingertips or a small blending brush for precise application
• Build coverage gradually to avoid over-application
• Suitable for use over skincare, primer, or makeup

Is this product clean, cruelty-free, and suitable for everyday use?

Merit Day Glow is vegan and cruelty-free, and it comes in recyclable packaging for a more conscious beauty choice. The lightweight, non-sticky texture makes it comfortable for daily wear and practical for touch-ups throughout the day. Its formulation focuses on skin-friendly oils and barrier-supporting ingredients rather than heavy synthetics or glitter.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Recyclable packaging for reduced waste
• Lightweight texture intended for everyday comfort
