Formulation view Rich balm-type lip serum featuring cocoa and shea butters for high occlusion, supported by hydrogenated polyisobutene for hydration. Salicylic acid and retinyl retinoate offer mild exfoliation and repair support. Ideal for dry, chapped lips during night repair. Factory note: High-melting point fats are prone to crystal polymorphism; precise cooling curves are essential to prevent surface blooming or texture inconsistency.

- Not decoded yet
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Glyceryl Rosinate
- Film former and fixative, 0.1–0.5%; prone to oxidation and yellowing, add antioxidants
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Canola Oil
- Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.
- Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil Phytosterol Esters
- Silymarin oil phytosterol esters; emulsifier/film-former for hair, improves gloss/slippage.
- Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables
- Olive oil unsaponifiables; rich in squalene and vitamin E. Use at 1-2% for repair; stable.
- C12-16 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Xantham Gum
- Natural thickener and stabilizer; gel former, watch compatibility with electrolytes to prevent clarification loss
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Tripeptide-1
- Not decoded yet
- Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract
- Microbial ferment for humectancy and skin conditioning; gentle.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Salicylate
- Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Retinyl Retinoate
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Curcuma Longa Root Extract

- Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.
- Squalene
- Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
