Soft Lips Glow Balm ⁰⁶

CASTOR OIL. Castor oil is a botanical oil extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. It penetrates deep into the skin's layers, creating a healthy barrier that protects and nourishes the skin. Castor oil also acts as an emollient, leaving skin soft and smooth.

BERRY WAX. This wax is extracted from the fruit peel of the sumac tree. It has a consistency-giving and refatting effect in cosmetics. It is very light and has only little film-forming properties.

MYRICA (WAX). To protect the fruits from environmental influences, the plant coats them with a wax layer. Myrica wax supports this effect on the skin as well, without leaving a sticky residue. The wax has a melting point similar to beeswax and acts as a co-emulsifier in products.

ALMOND/ BORAGE/LINSEED/OLIVE ACIDS/GLYCERIDES EMULSIFIER. This combination of almond, borage, linseed, and olive oil acids, along with glycerides, is used in cosmetic products to soothe and nourish the skin, and to improve the appearance of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne.

MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES. Vegetable neutral oil from coconut oil and glycerine with refatting, moisturizing and smoothing properties. Clear, odorless and non-greasy.

SUNFLOWER OIL. Oil from the sunflower seeds, its name comes from its ability to turn its flower head towards the sun. Due to its high content of linoleic acid, it is a light, non-sticky and caring oil. The contained vitamin E has an antioxidant effect.

ARGAN OIL. The "liquid gold of Morocco" contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids as well as the antioxidant vitamin E and phenols. The linoleic acid contained in argan oil acts as natural cell protection and can support the restoration of new skin cells. In addition, it is said to improve the elasticity of the skin and to have a moisturizing effect on skin and hair.

SQUALANE (LIPID). Saturated, liquid hydrocarbon, which occurs as a natural component of the hydro-lipid film on the skin. Squalane is mainly extracted from olive oil, but also from other vegetable oils. Squalane is characterized by its good spreading ability and promotes the absorption of a cosmetic product, leaving a soft and silky skin feeling without being greasy.

JOJOBA OIL. Jojoba is a drought-resistant, evergreen shrub that is native to the deserts of Mexico and the southern regions of the USA. Chemically speaking, the raw material is a liquid wax. In contrast to oils, where fatty acids together with glycerin form the fatty components, waxes contain fatty acids combined with a fatty alcohol. These wax esters are very similar to human skin sebum and are therefore optimally mixed with it, creating a delicate, non-sealing lipid film. This keeps the skin moist without sealing it. A further effect is the increase of the skin's elasticity, as the jojoba oil spreads well within the cornea. The raw material is also ideal for impure skin. The jojoba oil is a true all-rounder.

AVOCADO OIL. Vegetable oil from the fruit flesh of the avocado with a high content of unsaponifiables, including vitamins A, E, D and lecithin. Has an exceptional ability to penetrate the skin and to nourish different skin layers. Avocado oil can promote cell regeneration and is frequently used for dry, barrier-damaged skin.

OLIVE OIL. Olive oil - vegetable oil with predominantly simple unsaturated fatty acids. Ideal to moisturize and nourish very dry skin.

ALMOND OIL. Almond oil is a highly digestible oil and is therefore recommended for all skin types. Due to the spectrum of fatty acids rich in oleic acid, almond oil is absorbed well and deeply and can thus increase the penetration of other functional ingredients.
