Formulation Deep Dive

Buxom's Power-Full Plumping Peptide Lip Treatment is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous lip treatment designed to provide prolonged hydration and visible volumization. The carrier system utilizes a high-viscosity polymer base of Polybutene and Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, blended with Octyldodecanol and Diisostearyl Malate to ensure a smooth, emollient application with significant cushion and shine. The active performance is driven by a synergistic combination of Tripeptide-1 to support lip architecture, Sodium Hyaluronate for deep humectancy, and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter to reinforce the lipid barrier. The formula is stabilized through a network of Synthetic Wax and Microcrystalline Wax, while Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provide antioxidant protection to maintain the integrity of the lipid-rich matrix.
