Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - A signaling peptide that helps propagate Collagen growth by tricking the skin into thinking it needs to repair itself and organizing and arranging the Collagen fibers in a stronger more uniform manner. Collagen takes the form of elongated fibrils, arranged in many strands much like the twisted and braided fibers of a rope. The quantity and arrangement of Collagen fibers is integral to improve strength for pulling and connecting. By signaling the increase of the Collagen fiber count and better arranging the layout, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide helps improve definition and volume of the lips. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide also stimulates the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is a Glycosaminoglycan (GAG), and an important component of connective tissues. It helps fill the gaps between Collagen and Elastin in the connective tissue and serves as a cushy gelatin-like material providing structural support. Hyaluronic Acid draws in moisture from the surrounding air and binds it to itself, reinforcing the connective tissue and improving elasticity.

Tribehenin - A skin conditioning agent that works as a smoothing lubricant and humectant. It is commonly found in vegetable fats and oils such as palm-nut and coconut oils. Tribehenin works by forming a protective barrier on the skin, slowing down water loss and helping to keep the skin hydrated. Think of this as a coat of varnish that seals in all the moisturizing goodness.

Smooth evenly over lip area as needed. May be used under lipstick or alone. For best results, use 2-3 times daily.
