Autumn provides the joys of leaves falling, chunky sweaters emerging, and pumpkin spice filtering through the air like oxygen. With all that being said, the season can really do a number on your lips. (Not to mention the stress of a global pandemic and a very important November 3rd.) Just as the world feels like it's cracking apart, Glossier is introducing a new hydrating balm so that your lips don't have to. Meet the Wild Fig Balm Dotcom, the brand's first ever limited-edition flavor of its fan-favorite lip salve.

This sheer tinted color is reminiscent of the inside of a fig, hence the fruity moniker. (Wouldn't you know, figs are actually in season, per the all-knowing Whole Foods.) The hydration-infused formula utilizes a various cruelty-free ingredients to ensure nourishment. There's castor seed oil to seal in moisture, beeswax to protect against seasonal dryness, Cupuacu Fruit Extract for smooth texture, and Rosemary Leaf Extract for a dose of antioxidants.
Wild Fig joins Glossier's lineup of other healing hues, including Original, Mint, Rose, Coconut, Cherry, Mango, Berry and Birthday (the Milk Bar-inspired flavor we're partial to). But just as your grandmother's sweet jar of fig jam didn't last forever, this flavor is only avail for a short spell.
Like its predecessors, Wild Fig is $12 and can be purchased as part of a customizable $30 trio. That means investing in one for your gym bag, desk drawer, and bedside table — that is, if you're permitted to return to the first pair of activities.
To apply, simply slather the balm on your chapped lips to restore their softness. Glossier also encourages you to lift the tube to your nose, allowing the calming power of fig to waft into your soul. At this point in 2020, we'll try anything.
Wild Fig is available now on glossier.com for $12.
