Science
The fullness of lips represent beauty and youthfulness. Lip skin is different from other skin and is characterized by its thinness. Due to the absence ofa keratinized stratum corneum, moisture rapidly evaporates from the lips, causing them to dry out very easily. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polymer, particularly abundant in skin. The most important function of HA is to preserve tissue hydration, thanks to its high water retaining capacity. Hilurlip® functional ingredient contains particles of sodium hyaluronate, submitted to a technological process after which the particle size is reduced and homogenized, enhancing its penetration and efficacy. These small particles swell when they are in contact with skin water, producing a long-term boosting effect on the lips. hilurlip’ functional ingredient also incorporates a reactive carbonyl species (RCS) scavenger, which protects lips’ skin from the harmful effects of pollution.

Hilurlip® functional ingredient can be incorporated into lip care products. Toachievea plumping effect, its use is recommended in water-free formulations.
