Two powerful antioxidants, Vitamin E and Silymarin, form an exclusive combination antioxidant therapy for the lips. This potent treatment helps prevent signs of premature ageing, while restoring mositure and smoothing the lip surface. Unlike any other area on the body, the lips are a transitional tissue lacking traditional defence mechanisims. Specifically, lips are naturally dry, have little natural sun protection, are particularly sensitive to dryness and damage, and lips are subject to such complications as carcinomas and cold sores. Special botanical emollients hydrate and heal dry, cracked lips, while an AHA-free exfoliating complex accelerates cell renewal to smooth deep lip lines for full, healthy lips.
Two powerful, synergistic antioxidants
• neutralize free radicals and prevent signs of premature ageing
Exclusive and innovative ingredient complexes
• support collagen synthesis, hydration and lipid retention
AHA-free exfoliation
• smoothes lips without irritation and accelerates cell renewal
Elegant, smooth and creamy formulation
• penetrates quickly, leaving lips soft and moist
• daily lip treatment (use light application and follow with sunscreen)
• intense overnight treatment
• cold sore prevention
• for relief of lip dryness due to Accutane ®
• during outdoor activities
APPLICATION
Dispense a droplet-sized amount of Antioxidant Lip Repair onto the tip of your index finger, dab it
onto your lips and gently massage it into the skin.
SILYMARIN
• extract of the milk thistle plant
• provides powerful antioxidant protection
• molecular structure indicates easy skin penetration
Background - Silymarin contains high percentages of silybin - which is thought to be its most active component. Silymarin is a strong antioxidant, and although it is not a sunscreen, it has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species, inhibit sunburn cells, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation.

VITAMIN E (ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL)
• pure Vitamin E (not a derivative)
• provides powerful antioxidant protection
Background - Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is the body’s most important lipid. As an antioxidant, it protects other fat-soluble vitamins from oxidative damage. It is necessary for tissue repair; it is a natural anticoagulant and promotes healing. Derivatives of Vitamin E are good moisturisers, but do not have the same effects as vitamin E,
because they are not antioxidants.
BMX COMPLEX™
• comprises Barley and Tomato Extracts
• limits transepidermal water loss by maintaining an intact skin surface barrier
• increases amount of lipids in intercellular spaces, which is critical for the skin renewal process
• rich in phytosterols, triglycerides, ceramides and sphingolipids, all essential to maintain optimum skin condition
• phytosterols: Plant fats present in all fruits and vegetables.
They are biologically active molecules that can enhance moisture penetration and support the skin renewal process. As well, they exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
• sphingolipids: One principal group of lipids in the cell membranes.
• triglycerides: Any of a number of naturally occurring lipids.
The chief constituents of fats and oils, including the fat cells in the human body.
• ceramides: In human skin, ceramides are the major lipid constituents of the stra-tum corneum and, together with other lipids they play a crucial role in the skin barrier function.
UGL COMPLEX
• comprises Glucosamine HCl, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract and Urea (preservative)
• exfoliates dead skin cells without the potential irritation of AHAs or BHAs and is not pH dependent
• can activate both epidermal and dermal cells resulting in improved cell renewal, as well as an increased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen
BIOSACCHARIDE GUM
• improves hydration
• provides greater immediate hydration than sodium hyaluronate
ALLANTOIN
• botanical extract with healing and soothing properties
• is recognized by the FDA as a cold sore and fever blister treatment
• is an effective anti-irritant, as it forms complexes with a variety of sensitising agents, rendering them non-sensitising
