Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride 
Caprylic triglyceride is oil that is made from coconut oil for use in cosmetic and personal care products. The oil helps reduce the loss of moisture in the skin by forming a protective barrier on the surface that holds in water.

Copernicia cerifera (Carnauba) Wax 
Wax derived from the Brazilian tropical palm tree, Copernicia cerifera, which offers a rich, creamy consistency that allows for a smooth and even application.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate 
Ethylhexyl palmitate is produced from palmitic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid found in plants and animals. It acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface, giving the skin a soft and smooth appearance.

Euphorbia cerifera (Candelilla) Wax 
Wax from the Euphorbia cerifera plant offers a rich, creamy consistency that allows for a smooth and even application. This wax also is used in cosmetics to give lipstick structure.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil 
Castor seed oil is derived from the castor oil plant. Castor seed oil has excellent moisturizing properties that help keep your lips hydrated, and looking smooth and full. It acts as a skin conditioning agent by forming a protective barrier to help reduce water loss for moisturized skin.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide 
Palmitoyl oligopeptide, a fragment of collagen, is a chain of five amino acids bonded together and linked to a fatty acid. Research has shown that palmitoyl oligopeptide can promote normal collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans in the skin, providing your skin with a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil 
A pale oil obtained from almonds (Prunus amygdalus dulcis). Rich in oleic and linoleic triglycerides, sweet almond oil is an excellent skin conditioning agent that helps keep your skin hydrated, and looking smooth and soft. Almond oil helps protect the surface of the skin, while conditioning the skin and promoting a clear, young-looking complexion. Almond oil is also a great moisturizer that is appropriate for all skin types, but is especially effective on dry or irritated skin.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) 
Vitamin E is a powerful natural antioxidant vitamin that helps to protect and nourish your skin. Vitamin E helps to moisturize your skin while also protecting it from environmental factors, giving your skin a healthy and more youthful appearance.

Who should use Motives Hydrating Lip Balm?
Motives Hydrating Lip Balm is for everyone, but it is particularly ideal for those with chapped lips.

What is the difference between Motives Hydrating Lip Balm and Motives Vitamin E Lip Treatment?
Motives Vitamin E Lip Treatment helps restore the moisture content in lips for naturally supple lips. Motives Hydrating Lip Balm hydrates lips instantly, but it is not meant to be an overall treatment.

During which seasons should I use Motives Hydrating Lip Balm?
Motives Hydrating Lip Balm can be used year round; however, it is particularly useful during the summer and winter months. The hours spent under the sun in summer can create dry lips that need moisture. Winter's cold temperatures and strong winds cause lips to become chapped, but using Motives Hydrating Lip Balm can soothe and hydrate lips.

Does Motives Hydrating Lip Balm have any fragrance or taste?
Motives Hydrating Lip Balm does not have a strong smell; however, it tastes like tangerine. This gives it a citrus flavour that is absolutely delightful.
