Ingredient glossary

Clinically studied actives

Hexapeptide-9

A biomimetic peptide that prompts skin to support its own collagen. Collagen is what firmness rests on, and it starts declining steadily from your late twenties.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

A peptide that supports collagen-related signalling in the lip. Visible structure and definition depend on that support, which is what makes this a treatment rather than a gloss.

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived alternative to retinol that supports the skin's natural renewal cycle, so fine lines look softer over time. There is no retinol in this formula.

Ceramide NP

A barrier-identical lipid. Your skin barrier is built from ceramides in the first place, so replenishing them supports resilience and hydration that holds.

Barrier-supporting Lipids

Plant oils, lecithin and a ceramide-like lipid that reinforce the skin's moisture barrier, so what you apply stays where you put it. In the tinted shades.

Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid

Five forms of hyaluronic acid at different molecular weights, so hydration is delivered at more than one level of the skin rather than sitting only on the surface.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3, which supports barrier function and helps even the look of tone and visible redness with consistent use.

Pomegranate Flower Extract

An antioxidant botanical that supports the lip barrier against the environmental stress lips absorb daily, from sun and wind to dry indoor air.

Sodium Hyaluronate

A hyaluronic acid salt small enough to draw water into the lip surface, which is what gives lips a visibly plumper, softer look.

Squalane

A lightweight emollient that slows moisture loss. Lips have no oil glands of their own, so they depend entirely on what you apply to them.

Sweet Potato Root Extract

A botanical extract that supports circulation in the under-eye area, where fatigue and shadowing tend to show before they show anywhere else.

Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid)

A stable derivative of vitamin C that brightens the look of uneven tone and adds antioxidant defence, without the instability that makes pure ascorbic acid hard to formulate.

Clinical rigor

Our clinical testing process

(01) Dermatologist oversight

Every formula is developed and reviewed under Dr. Marnie's direction.

(02) Final formula testing

Performance is tested on the finished product, not isolated actives.

(03) Instrument-measured

Clinical instruments measure hydration, texture and firmness objectively.

(04) Third-party evaluation

Independent labs validate every claim before it is made.
