Formulation Deep Dive
Paula's Choice Hyaluronic Acid + Peptide Lip Booster is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous lip treatment designed for targeted volume enhancement and barrier repair. The base utilizes a sophisticated blend of Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil and Diisostearyl Malate, structured with a Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer and Polyamide-8 to create a long-wearing, high-gloss film that prevents transepidermal water loss. The active performance is driven by a synergistic peptide complex, including Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, which work alongside Sodium Hyaluronate and Glucomannan (Konjac Root) to promote collagen synthesis and provide immediate plumping through moisture retention. Stability is maintained via a specialized wax and ester matrix, including Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax and Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, while Sorbic Acid and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) ensure the integrity of the antioxidant-rich botanical extracts.
