Polyglyceryl-10 laurate is an ester compound consisting of polyglycerol and lauric acid. Polyglyceryl-10 laurate acts as a mild emulsifier.

Polyglyceryl-10 stearate is the ester of stearic acid with a glycerol polymer. It serves as a skin-caring ingredient with emulsifying properties.(1)

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate is a versatile, mild emulsifier based on vegetable raw materials. It offers moisturizing properties and forms stable emulsions with all common oils and fats used in skin care products. It can also increase the skin penetration of other active ingredients, such as those with anti-ageing properties(1).

Purslane is a succulent and, in the form of the extract, part of the complex used called Volulip™. In in-vivo studies conducted by the manufacturer, twice-daily application of a product containing 1% Volulip™ resulted in a visible improvement in the appearance of the lips (smoothness, curvature, surface and volume), moisture and youthfulness (more beautiful contour and plumping effect) in at least 69% of the test subjects(1).

Potassium Hydrolyzed Polygamma-Glutamate is the potassium salt of hydrolyzed polyglutamic acid, a biopolymer derived from fermentation consisting of cross-linked glutamic acid units. Thanks to its low molecular weight, this active ingredient penetrates the skin easily and hydrates it. It does so by utilizing two complementary mechanisms: it supports the body’s own hyaluronic acid in the epidermis while simultaneously increasing natural moisturizing factors (NMFs). Additionally, it can strengthen the skin barrier and help improve skin elasticity. (1–3)

Potassium lactate is the potassium salt of lactic acid and is frequently used as an excipient in cosmetic formulations. In skincare, it also acts as a humectant, as it binds water and thus helps protect the skin from drying out. In addition, potassium lactate has skin-nourishing properties and promotes a pleasant skin feel. Thanks to its buffering properties, it also helps regulate and stabilize the pH of cosmetic products, which is important for the formulation’s tolerability and efficacy. (1)

Potassium phosphate is a synthetically produced phosphate salt that is used in cosmetics as a buffering agent to regulate and stabilize the pH value.
