Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) found in the skin, where it plays a key role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. Scientific studies have shown that the topical application of hyaluronic acid can significantly increase hydration of the stratum corneum by binding water molecules at the surface and within the upper layers of the skin. In addition, it has been shown to contribute to improved epidermal barrier function and reduced transepidermal water loss, while clinical studies indicate that it can improve skin elasticity and the appearance of fine lines, supporting skin rejuvenation and repair mechanisms of the lips.
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba Oil): Being rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, B complex, copper and zinc, it provides antioxidant, moisturizing and healing properties. It also promotes collagen formation, in the skin and and consequently, the lips, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Additionally, it has soothing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil: Being rich in nourishing fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E, it strengthens the skin barrier, while maintaining the lips hydration. Its linolec acid content supports ceramides, which create a strong skin barrier to maintain its health. It promotes skin regeneration and it reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): It’s the most biologically active form of vitamin E and a primary fat-soluble antioxidant in the skin. Being rich in antioxidants, it helps reduce signs of aging by softening fine lines and making the skin of the lips look firmer. It also helps reduce hyperpigmentation and provides protection from UVB rays, it has hydrating properties by retaining skin’s moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and protects the lips from free radical damage.
Castor Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil): Castor oil is a rich plant oil with moisturizing and soothing properties. Due to its high content of ricinoleic acid and fatty acids, it helps maintain moisture in the lips, reducing dryness and chapping. At the same time, it acts as an emollient, forming a protective film on the surface of the lips that helps reduce roughness by limiting moisture loss. Studies also report that it exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, while also helping maintain elasticity and reducing signs of aging.
ElastylTM CC-MB (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12): Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a type of peptide with notable properties that help improve the appearance and texture of the skin. By interacting with the skin’s structural components, it supports the strengthening and repairing of the epidermal barrier and helps reduce visible signs of aging. Studies suggest that it may contribute to improving skin elasticity and firmness, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines over time. In addition, it has been associated with enhanced hydration and an overall improvement in texture and resilience, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look of the lips.
