Just as we express love with our lips, we also need to express love for our lips.
Why?
Because they are tender, exposed, delicate, and constantly in use helping us do stuff like:
-
Talking
-
Eating
-
Drinking
-
Breathing
-
Protecting
-
Kissing
With all that work you’d think lips would be tough, leathery and rubbery – but no, they are soft and fragile.
Is this a design fault?
Not really, lips are simply an extension of our oral mucosa - an inside part that ends up on the outside, and that’s where the trouble can begin. To function correctly our lip skin needs to be quite different from our other facial skin:
-
no hair follicles
-
no sweat glands
-
no sebaceous glands
-
very thin
Our lip skin (more like membrane) is only 3 – 5 cellular layers thick, compared to our facial skin which has 16 layers …… no wonder the lips are easily upset!
Hot drinks, cold winds, spicy foods, sun exposure, acid fruits, and product use all take their toll and our natural lip condition declines markedly between the age of 20 and 40. Oh dear!
Synthetic lip products are not the answer, their effect is only superficial because they are not biocompatible or truly restoring. Even natural vegan lip balms are limited by having no special bioactive gifts from other living creatures - sometimes what works for them can work for us too.
Here’s how Bio-First creates Rapid Lip Rescue for you:
-
Lanolin - This biosimlar to human skin sebum, is a natural substance derived from sheep's wool. It creates a hydrophobic barrier that radically reduces moisture loss while still allowing it to breathe.
-
Vitamin E – this is naturally present in human skin and is highly protective, improves elasticity, density and collagen production, reduces redness, sensitivity and irritation.
-
Squalane – as squalene, this amazing emollient comprises 13% of human sebum and is an ideal combo with lanolin for barrier repair and hydration – we use Olive Squalane.
-
Jojoba – this special oil is actually a wax that resembles human skin’s natural sebum, supports production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and is strongly anti-inflammatory.
-
Honey – a complex living substance, nature’s panacea with similarities to human blood honey is healing, soothing, smoothing, emollient, conditioning, pH balancing and tasty.
-
Beeswax – holds the hive together, a lubricating and softening occlusive that provides a highly protective barrier, just like human ear wax.
-
Zinc – vital to human health and present in the skin at approx. 5%, zinc is protective, reduces moisture loss, reduces redness, and is non-irritant.
These are the seven secrets of our Rapid Lip Rescue, an ultra rich thick cream like no other that is instantly recognised by your needy lips as a special friend for look, feel, and kissability.
Remember some of what you put on your lips ends up in the mouth, so choose wisely!
