Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Squalane is an emollient that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It's an oily liquid that occurs naturally in certain types of fish and plant oils.
Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.
Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.
Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).
In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.
The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.
Is squalane vegan? This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.
Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 18.
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 15.
Persea Gratissima Oil is made by pressing dehydrated avocado fruit from the tree Persea gratissima, Lauraceae.
Avocado Oil has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help fight off free-radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells.
Avocado Oil is mostly made up of the glycerides of fatty acids. About 67% of these fatty acids is made up of oleic acid. Palmitic acid and linoleic acid are also present.
These fatty acids help hydrate and soften the skin. It may increase collagen content in the skin. Collagen helps keep your skin plump and firm.
Avocado Oil reduces inflammation and has not shown to clog glands.
Avocados also have B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 11.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate is created from 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It is a fatty acid ester.
The fatty acid content of Ethylhexyl Palmitate makes it an emollient. Emollients help soften and hydrate your skin by trapping moisture within.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate is also used to help improve the texture of cosmetics. It helps other ingredient dissolve in products and help disperse ingredients more evenly. In fact, it is commonly used to evenly mix sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone and ethylhexyl triazone. It can also help stabilize the fragrances in a product as a fragrance fixative.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate can be used to substitute mineral oil.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 19.
Tribehenin comes from glycerin and behenic acid.

This ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal-acne safe.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 22.
Sorbitan Isostearate is an emulsifer and cleaning agent. It is created from isostearic acid and sorbitol.
As an emulsifier, Sorbitan Isostearate prevents oils and water from separating.
Due to its isostearic acid base, it may not be safe for Malassezia or fungal acne.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex contains this as ingredient number 23.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

I hated this initially but ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Firstly, I don't think the site I purchased this from stated how much product you get, and given the price I paid I was incredibly disappointed to see that there is less than 2 grams of product in this. I also felt like the balm had a strange "plastic-y" or "chemical-y" smell and taste, and I didn't love the applicator which is silicone/plastic tip with several little holes that the balm squeezes through as you twist the bottom.
This balm really grew on me though. I'm not sure if the weird smell/taste was more intense in the top layer of product that had been exposed to air for longer or if I somehow just got used to it, but after a few days I didn't even notice it anymore. I also got used to the applicator and didn't end up minding it. The balm itself is has a really nice and good consistency, it's not thick or waxy but somehow manages to stay on the lips incredibly well. I could still feel some product left on my lips even after eating or drinking, which I'm not sure if I've had happen with any other lip balm before. It also worked great to keep my lips hydrated, even in the driest of winter weather.
The main drawback and the reason I won't repurchase this is the price and how little product you get. I have multiple lip balms in use at any given time so I was only using this (sparingly!) twice a day while doing my skincare, and the tube lasted only about a month. I also primarily purchased this for the peptides but didn't notice them doing anything which is another minus, although a month probably wasn't long enough of a time to see a difference. However, given the price and how little time this lasted, I won't keep buying this to see if the peptides will eventually do something.
