The new and optimized (09) Lip Care by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus is a gentle protective shield tailored to the needs of sensitive and stressed lip skin. Dry, chapped, and stressed lips receive a smoothing boost with a double benefit in the form of hyaluronic acid and ceramides. As a booster, hyaluronic acid optimizes the protective barrier thanks to its hygroscopic (water-binding) properties. This allows more water to be bound in the transitional mucosa of the lips. This improves the quality of the lip structure and its texture. As an important lipid fraction, ceramides optimize the lip’s hydrolipid emulsion. Since ceramides also bind moisture, this improves the consistency of the lip’s surface. Natural beeswax, shea butter, and carnauba wax envelop the sensitive and thin skin of the lips and lock in moisture. The newly formulated Lip Care represents a significant upgrade in lip care.
