Formulation Deep Dive

Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous repair balm designed to provide intensive moisture and barrier support. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated blend of hydrogenated polyisobutene, diisostearyl malate, and butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter to create a rich, emollient base with a high-shine finish. The formulation's efficacy is driven by a synergistic active complex featuring palmitoyl tripeptide-1 to support collagen synthesis and lip volume, complemented by the antioxidant benefits of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (Vitamin C) and tocopherol (Vitamin Vitamin E). Natural lipid support is provided by orbignya oleifera (babassu) seed oil and theobroma grandiflorum (cupuacu) seed butter, while lactic acid provides gentle surface refinement. The system is stabilized through a structured wax and polymer network including microcrystalline wax, synthetic beeswax, and disteardimonium hectorite, with preservation and stability enhanced by o-cymen-5-ol and triethyl citrate.
