Phytol: A natural active molecule derived from Black Jack (Bidens Pilosa). This plant originating in South America demonstrates strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Clinical studies showed that phytol significantly increases the production of collagen and elastin through the stimulation of growth factors. It also stimulates lip renewal process by mimicking the activity of retinol through the modulation of the expression of retinoid receptors. Thus, it shows retinol-like activity without any irritation.

Tripeptide: This potent peptide stimulates natural collagen production. It activates Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), one of the key players in modulating tissue repair and remodeling. Increases lip volume and improves texture of the lips with a visible impact on lip shape.

Portulaca Pilosa: Boosts the production of hyaluronic acid in the lips. Because it visibly increases lip volume, this plant is also known under the name "Kiss me quick".

Lipid Complex: This unique complex supplies major regenerating and restructuring lipids - phospholipids, sphingolipids, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) from the Omega-3 and Omega-6 family. Improves lip moisture and helps to protect and repair lips.

Retinol ester: A source of vitamin A. Enhances cell communication, promotes collagen production, and encourages the lip renewal process.

Ultra Filling Spheres™: A new generation spheres composed of low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid and glucomannan, a high-molecular weight vegetal polysaccharide from the plant Konjac I devil’s tongue). These cross-linked spheres can penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis and absorb the water that evaporates from the deep dermis. Ultra-Filling Spheres™ helps to plump up lips, smooth out wrinkles and leave lips supple with long lasting moisture.

Hyaluronic acid: An important natural component of skin. Zelens uses a low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid with unique moisturizing properties. Hyaluronic acid boosts lip moisture promotes its elasticity and fills in wrinkles to help reduce their appearance.

Shiso leaf (Perilla, Japanese mint): Rich in polyphenols (particularly Rosmarinic acid) and triterpenoids (particularly Ursolic acid), natural molecules that demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-allergic bioactivities. Shiso leaf acts as a powerful antioxidant defending skin from free radical damage. It helps to prevent skin reactivity and soothes sensitive skin. Shiso leaf is well known in Kampo medicine for its strong detox properties.

Palm oil: Extracted from the palm fruit growing in Africa. Rich in tocotrienols, natural molecules that are members of the vitamin E family. Tocotrienols are strong antioxidants effectively fighting damaging free radicals and oxidative stress. Tocotrienols also enhance healthy cellular growth and cell adhesion and thus promote natural lip repair and regeneration. Palm oil has excellent conditioning and soothing properties.

Cotton oil: Extracted from cotton, this oil has strong moisturizing properties due to the high amount of unsaturated fatty acids.

Linseed oil: This oil, also known as flax seed oil, is rich in omega-3 and omega-6. Helps to improve moisture and soothe the lips.

Candelilla wax: Obtained from the leaves of Candelilla (Euphorbia cerifera), a plant growing in northern Mexico. Candelilla has excellent emollient properties and helps to provide a protective, moisture resistant environment for skin.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant with a key role in the protection of cellular membranes from free radicals. It is the major antioxidant in the human epidermis with strong protective effects against UV-induced skin damage.
