## Appearance

- **Sizes:** 0.5 oz/15 ml (per-size availability under Variants)
- **Materials:** Glycerin, Aqua/Water/Eau, Gluconolactone, Ectoin, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Juice, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that works to dissolve the structures that hold dead skin cells together. Due to their larger molecular weight, PHAs work on the surface of the skin to offer mild exfoliation, making them suitable for sensitive skin. This formulation also includes a high concentration (>50%) of glycerin to improve hydration and retain moisture as well as ectoin to support the skin barrier and offer long-term hydration. PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum helps to promote skin renewal on the lips to improve their overall appearance and texture over time.
