Components

This moisturizing power of water is boosted by grape seed oil &shea butter which help distribute moisture efficiently throughout the lips. Paula’s Choice Lip Perfecting Gentle Scrub also includes cellulose gum, glycerin, and allantoin which work to prevent irritation and shield the lips from further damage. Embedded in this cream is thousands and thousands of tiny, rough plastic micro-beads which creates the exfoliating action of the cream.

Warnings

The second is a word of warning about the micro-bead technology. Unlike the other ingredients in Paula’s Choice Lip Perfecting Gentle Scrub, micro-beads have been found to be potentially damaging to the earth’s ecosystems. Depending on where you live, they may even be illegal. However, be assured that they are absolutely no harm to your health or wellness.
