Why German cosmetologists do not believe in cheap lip balms
We’d like to share an almost detective historical essay about how Chris Farrell's scientists explored what makes cheap lip balms so useless.
We used to think that our dry lips were not a problem at all, but some kind of inconvenience given to us by nature. “But is it really so?”, - wondered Chris Farrell’s science unit in the distant 80s of the last century.
Indeed in those days professional lip skin care was far from being a priority. The market was filled with cheap balms, which quickly and easily moisturize the skin of the lips, but whose effect disappears after 1-2 hours. To understand why these products had to be used several times a day, Chris Farrell assembled a research team consisting of cosmetologists, laboratory technicians and dermatologists.

It turned out that it's all about chemistry, or rather the chemical composition of those very balms. Very often they contain such substances as menthol or compounds like salinic acid alcohol or cinnamaldehyde. Together and separately, they give our lips a quick moisturizing effect, which comes off in just a few hours, leaving behind even drier skin. So, it gets into a looping process where we use lip balms more and more often, just to keep our lips moisturized.

Having identified the cause, the Chris Farrell science unit was asked to find their own professional solution to the problem. And after only a year, that solution was found: Smoothing Lips the professional lip care balm. It was based on a formula of 100% natural ingredients, which, by the way, is already nearing its 40th anniversary.
So what did the German scientists add to their formula?
The absolute best source of vitamin E, a natural oxidant and the main guardian of the beauty and health of our lips.
Thanks to oleocanthal, a natural antioxidant that acts like ibuprofen, it has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect. And its richness in saturated and polyunsaturated fats and vitamins K and E nourishes our skin well.
The strongest antioxidant of natural origin. Squalene is proven to have good antimicrobial, healing properties, it also helps fight fungi and promotes rapid skin regeneration.
For nearly 40 years, Smoothing Lips Professional Lip Care Balm has gained an incredible number of loyal customers who especially appreciate these key product points.
