“More Product Information”
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.
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: theobroma cacao seed butter, isododecane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: tripeptide-1
Anti-aging1 ingredient credited for this claimModerate support
“A non-greasy moisturising lip gel with matte finish, that plumps your lips, and smoothes out fine lines.”
This product contains 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. The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

Product summary
"Shakeup - Lip Life To The Full Volumising Lip Gel" offers broad spectrum protection. It means that it protects from both UVA and UVB rays (you can remember UVB as "burning" sunlight - they cause sunburn. You can remember UVA rays as "aging" - they do not lead to sunburn, but they cause photodamage and contribute to early signs of skin aging and hyperpigmentation). On the negative side, the SPF of this lip sunscreen is not high enough. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 0.50% - 1.15% and octinoxate 3.90% - 5.80%.
Irritation risk
We assess the overall irritancy of this lip product to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
