“Deeply nourishing and hydrating, it uses a proprietary liquid crystal delivery system for faster absorption of key ingredients into skin's surface for visibly softer, fuller and more supple 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:
sodium hyaluronate, 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: beeswax, cocos nucifera oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1
“This multi-tasking powerhouse targets and dramatically improves the appearance of vertical lip lines, loss of volume, lipstick feathering, lip discoloration and dry, rough texture.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Filter by role to see what each ingredient is doing.
An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
More about Cocos nucifera oilForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen
More about BeeswaxSoftens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.
More about Simmondsia chinensis seed oilA plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
More about Ricinus communis seed oilA great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
More about Helianthus annuus seed oilUsed to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation
More about Polyhydroxystearic acidUsed to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency
More about Acrylates copolymerAn emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
More about Ethylhexyl palmitateAn emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties
More about Argania spinosa kernel oilHelps soften the upper layer of the skin. Could be comedogenic due to the myrisic acid content
More about Astrocaryum murumuru seed butterA great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
More about Butyrospermum parkii butterHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
More about Caprylyl glycolUsed to enhance the delivery of other ingredients
More about PhosphatidylcholinePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
More about TocopherolA good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function. It can clog pores if used in high concentrations.
More about Glycine soja oilUsed to create a thicker product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin
More about TribeheninCan be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, including inflamed acne. It can be irritating
More about Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extractAn emollient that helps to soften the skin and create a pleasant product texture and stabilize the formulation
More about OctyldodecanolHelps oil and water mix together
More about Sorbitan isostearateHelps soften the upper layer of the skin
More about Helianthus annuus extractUsed to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
More about Butylene glycolUsed to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
More about Pentylene glycolAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
More about Lactic acidCauses redness and irritation in skin. Is often added to lip roducts to create a temporary plumping effect. Is likely to have a negative effect on skin's barrier function
More about Methyl nicotinateIs used to dissolve other ingredients and create nice product texture
More about Propylene carbonateOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronateA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
More about Palmitoyl tripeptide-1Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
More about CaffeineA form of vitamin B3. It is similar in action to niacinamide, but is more likely to cause red flashes in skin as the side effect
More about NiacinBeing a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
More about Ascorbyl palmitateCan work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
