Key Ingredients
1% Kojic Acid
Kojic Acid is a pigmentation-care ingredient that works by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, an enzyme involved in melanin production. In this lip balm, it is intended to help improve the appearance of dark and pigmented lips.
0.5% Alpha Arbutin
Alpha Arbutin is a skin-brightening ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation and supports a more even-looking lip tone.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid helps attract and retain moisture. In lip care, it helps keep the lips hydrated, soft, and comfortable.
SPF 30 PA++
The SPF 30 PA++ formulation helps protect the lips from UV exposure. Regular sun protection is particularly useful when addressing the appearance of pigmentation because UV exposure can contribute to uneven pigmentation.
The Derma Co identifies Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin and Hyaluronic Acid as the key ingredients and highlights SPF 30 PA++ as an additional sun-protection benefit.
