Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is the oil derived from the seeds of a Sunflower. Sunflower seed oil is non-fragrant. It is an emollient, meaning it helps to soften the skin.

Sunflower seed oil contains many fatty acids. The fatty acids found in sunflower seeds include (from highest amount to least): linoleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid.

These fatty acids help the skin create ceramides. Ceramides play a role in repairing the skin barrier.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil helps moisturize the skin. This in turn helps the skin look more rejuvenated and smoother.

Sunflowers are rich in vitamin E.

Historians believe Indigenous cultures of North America domesticated sunflowers before corn. Thus they relied on sunflower oil for a variety of uses. One such use is moisturizing skin and hair.

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Super Nourishing
This lip mask is packed full of nourishing oils and shea butter. For me, I've found that I prefer these occlusive ingredients to plain vaseline (which works perfectly fine for the lips, however I find that it causes a weird taste in the back of my throat). My lips used to be very dry and rough, but this mask has done wonders for softening my lips and preventing peeling dead skin. This mask will also last you forever! You really don't need a lot of product when you are just putting it on your lips.
This product does contain fragrance however, but I suspect its purpose is just to mask an unpleasant scent that sometimes occurs naturally with skincare ingredients. I say this because this lip mask has very little scent at all. When I first bought it I assumed it would smell like apples, but it's more akin to that generic faint lip balm smell.
