The εὖSKIN^® Lip Care is a mild fusion of rejuvenating and moisturizing constituents, specially created to soothe dryness and cracks in the lips. Its principal elements consist of Sweet orange peel oil, Calendula, and Shea butter.

Sweet orange peel oil is mainly composed of monoterpene hydrocarbons, specifically limonene¹. D-Limonene contributes as an anti-inflammatory agent in dermal inflammation and wound-healing².

Calendula officinalis flower extract has been approved by the EMA to be used in products that aim to reduce inflammation in the skin. It has been shown it can impact the inflammatory phase of wound healing by activating a pathway that increases IL-8 in the keratinocytes, thus increasing wound closure³.

Shea butter is a rich source of fatty acids, such as stearic, oleic, palmitic, linoleic and arachidic⁴. The topical use of Shea butter has shown anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties⁵.
