At Emilie Heathe, we keep ingredients top of mind with every product we create, and our Lip R&R is certainly no exception (after all, R&R is all about healing and care). It’s chock full of powerful antioxidant and hydrating additives to ensure an incredible user experience from the first application to the last. Read on for a deep dive into the star ingredients that make our lip balm formula so special.
Shea butter is derived from the nuts of shea trees in East and WestAfrica and has been used as a skin conditioner for thousands of years.It’s one of the most highly-acclaimed ingredients for moisturization and healing, and inhibits the breakdown of collagen cells, reducing fine lines and protecting the skin. It also contains nutrients and fatty acids (such as vitamins A and E, oleic acid, stearic acid, and more) that offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, and makes the perfect topical solution for soothing more sensitive areas of the body (such as your lips!).
Coffee isn’t just delicious, but nutritious—especially for the skin! Like the other star ingredients in our formula, coffee oil is teeming with antioxidants that work to protect the skin from external stressors like free radicals, which can cause damage to cells in the forms of wrinkles, sagging skin, dry patches, dullness, uneven pigmentation, or in extreme cases, even cancer. We loaded up our formula, and complemented the coffee oil with blueberry fruit and white tea extracts for a powerful antioxidant punch aimed at fending off these potential stressors.
Unlike squalene (with an E), squalane (with an A) is hydrogenated, and therefore is more stable and has a longer shelf life. That means that this ingredient will not go bad from sitting around too long! That’s why we included it in our lip scrub. Because Squalane is derived from a naturally hydrating compound found in flora and fauna alike, it makes for a great topical moisturizer. Hydration is key, especially for quick-to-chap areas of the body like the lips. Also, the ingredient’s antioxidant qualities work alongside Lip R&R’s other ingredients to protect the lips from damage due to external factors. Also like shea butter, Squalane use can boost collagen production, thus reducing fine lines and keeping your lips fuller for longer. It also neutralizes damage caused by UV radiation and free radicals, which is extra important since it’s very easy for lip suncare to slip the mind.
Jojoba esters are the hydrogenated product of Jojoba oil. Like in the case of squalane, hydrogenation increases the shelf life and stability of jojoba. This ingredient is extracted from the seeds of the Jojoba plant grown in the arid regions of Mexico and the southwestern portion of the United States, and have been used in tribal medicines by the Natives of these lands for generations. Jojoba increased in popularity around the 1970s as restrictions surfaced around other emollients and has continued to trend for its many skin benefits. Hydration, antibacterial properties, hypoallergenic qualities, and soothing abilities make it especially beneficial for the more sensitive and thinner skin on your lips.
