Abstract

Background: Lip epithelium is characterized by a thin stratum corneum (SC) with incomplete corneocyte formation. Due to the lack of hair follicles and sweat glands, the lubricating effect of sebum is absent. As a result, the lips can easily become dry and chapped. Extremely dry and damaged lips require intensive treatment, which accelerate healing while providing moisturizing benefits. We investigated a nature-based lip treatment containing healing botanicals to improve barrier function, hydration, and overall health of the lips.
