Formulation view Lip scrub based on sucrose, combined with petrolatum, jojoba, and grapeseed oil to form a closed moisturizing film. Rice bran and sunflower extracts provide antioxidant support and nourishment, with polymer blends adjusting texture. Suited for dry, flaky lip care; specialized lip formula requires minimal preservation. Formulator note: Strong hygroscopicity of sucrose requires moisture control; oil blend balances moisturization and spreadability, but high occlusion of petrolatum makes it unsuitable for acute cheilitis.
