“Treat dry, chapped lips to the replenishing properties of Good Cera Super Ceramide Lip Oil Stick from Korean beauty brand Holika Holika ; a Ceramide Oil-based lip balm to soften and moisturise weather-beaten lips.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np
Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Shea Butter – Promotes collagen production, restores barrier functions and softens the skinOlive Extract – Prevents and smooths the appearance of wrinklesVitamin E – Increases firmness and prevents the fading of cellsCeramides – Strengthen the skin’s barrier, reduce moisture loss and improve elasticity Read more”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
