Hilurlip™
Hilurlip™ redefines, plumps and minimizes fine vertical lines of the lips. Small particles of Sodium Hyaluronate are processed to enhance penetration and efficacy, producing a long-term volume boosting effect on the lips and an anti-aging action on the thin tissue. It also acts against the effects of outside pollution.
Due to the absence of a keratinized stratum corneum, moisture rapidly evaporates from the lips, causing them to dry out very easily. In addition, unprotected lips are especially dehydrated because of the sun, and they are continually exposed to environmental aggressions (e.g. cigarette smoke).
All these factors result in lips requiring more moisturization, protection and care than the rest of one's skin.
Hilurlip™ is a new way of vehiculization of Hyaluronic acid, especially for lip boosting products. It is an oil suspension containing particles of Sodium Hyaluronate, submitted to a technological process after which the particle size is reduced and homogenised up to 1μm, to enhance penetration and efficacy. The small particles of
Hyaluronan contained in Hilurlip™ swell when they are in contact with skin water, producing a long-term boosting effect on the lips.
Hilurlip™ also contains the tripeptide GHK, a well-known RCS scavenger, which protects the lips against the harmful effects of sun exposure. GHK is able to inhibit glycation therefore preventing the loss of collagen elasticity, and to protect skin cells from photodamage.
Properties and Applications
Increases lip volume, producing a long-term plumping effect on the lips.

Protects lips’ skin from environmental aggressions like sun exposure and cigarette
smoke, preventing premature aging of the lips.
The oily basis of Hilurlip™ helps to lubricate the lips.
