Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSTetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)Proven
An oil-soluble, stable form of vitamin C that penetrates the lip barrier more effectively than water-soluble ascorbic acid. Provides antioxidant protection, supports collagen synthesis, and helps brighten the lip area over time.
- Stability: More stable than L-ascorbic acid in formulations, resistant to oxidation in anhydrous (waterless) products like lip balms.
- Penetration: Oil-soluble form allows better absorption into the lipid-rich lip tissue compared to water-soluble vitamin C derivatives.
- Antioxidant: Helps protect delicate lip skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 0.4–0.9%Promising
A signal peptide that helps stimulate collagen production in the skin. In lip formulations, it works to visibly plump lips and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the lip contour.
- Mechanism: Mimics a fragment of collagen to signal skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin fibers.
- Clinical support: In the brand's clinical testing on 35 subjects, 100% showed smoother lip texture after a single application.
- Long-term benefit: Continued use may help reduce the appearance of lip lines over weeks of regular application.
Mango Seed ButterProven
A rich, naturally derived butter from the kernel of mango seeds (upcycled ingredient). Packed with fatty acids including oleic and stearic acid, it deeply conditions and softens the lip surface while forming a protective moisture barrier.
- Emollient: Rich in stearic and oleic acids that soften and smooth the lip texture.
- Occlusive: Creates a protective film to prevent transepidermal water loss from delicate lip skin.
- Sustainability: Farmacy uses upcycled mango seed butter, reducing food industry waste.
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)Proven
A time-tested plant lipid from the African shea tree. Rich in vitamins A and E, it deeply moisturizes and repairs the lip barrier while providing natural antioxidant protection.
- Barrier repair: Contains ceramides and fatty acids that closely mimic the skin's natural lipid composition.
- Anti-inflammatory: Naturally soothes and calms irritated or chapped lips.
- Rich in antioxidants: Vitamins A, E, and F protect the lip area from environmental damage.
Apple Fruit Extract (Pyrus Malus)Promising
An upcycled botanical extract rich in natural sugars (fructose, glucose), malic acid, and polyphenols. Provides gentle moisturizing and mild exfoliating properties to smooth the lip surface.
- Natural sugars: Fructose and glucose act as natural humectants to attract and retain moisture on the lip surface.
- Malic acid: Provides very mild exfoliation to help smooth rough, flaky lip texture.
- Polyphenols: Natural antioxidants that help protect against free radical damage.
Moringa Oleifera Seed OilPromising
A lightweight, nutrient-dense oil from the moringa tree, rich in oleic acid and behenic acid. It helps condition lips and provides additional antioxidant protection without a heavy or greasy feel.
- Nutrient profile: High in oleic acid (over 70%), making it an excellent emollient for dry, cracked lips.
- Stability: Highly stable oil that resists oxidation, helping extend the product's shelf life.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, Farmacy Lip Smoothie is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters. The trace amounts of malic acid and lactic acid present are part of the apple fruit extract and are not at active exfoliant concentrations. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No, Farmacy Lip Smoothie is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast, including Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Isostearate, and Shea Butter. If you are prone to perioral fungal acne, keep application strictly to the lip area and avoid spreading to surrounding skin.
Yes, Lip Smoothie is a lip-specific product that won't interfere with facial actives like retinol, vitamin C serums, or AHA/BHA exfoliants. In fact, it makes an excellent protective barrier for lips when using drying facial treatments like retinol, as the occlusive formula shields the lip area from irritation caused by nearby active ingredients.
Lip Smoothie is best suited for anyone with dry, chapped, or aging lips. It excels for those who want deep hydration with a glossy finish. It works particularly well for mature lips due to its peptide and vitamin C content. Those who prefer a matte finish or have fungal acne concerns around the mouth area may want to consider alternatives.
Immediate results include a glossy, plumped appearance and softer lip texture. Moisture locking lasts up to 8 hours per application. For anti-aging benefits from the peptides and vitamin C, consistent daily use for 4-6 weeks is recommended to see visible reduction in the appearance of lip lines.
Lip Smoothie is a standalone lip care product. Apply it after your facial skincare routine is complete. Use it as a daily lip balm, as a primer before lip color, on top of lipstick for a gloss effect, or as an overnight lip mask. It is independent of your facial skincare steps and can be applied at any time throughout the day.
Lip Smoothie has a comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it has very low pore-clogging risk. Since it is designed specifically for lip application, the likelihood of it causing facial breakouts is minimal. However, if you apply it beyond the lip line, some ingredients like Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Shea Butter could potentially contribute to clogged pores on acne-prone skin.
Farmacy Lip Smoothie has a Period After Opening (PAO) of approximately 12 months. The 10g glass jar typically lasts 3-5 months with daily use. Store it in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. The stable oil-soluble vitamin C derivative (THD Ascorbate) is more resistant to degradation than water-soluble vitamin C, helping maintain the product's effectiveness throughout its shelf life.
Verdict: Farmacy Lip Smoothie is a standout lip treatment that successfully bridges the gap between a nourishing balm and a glossy lip product. Its peptide and vitamin C formula goes beyond basic hydration to offer genuine anti-aging lip care, backed by clinical testing. The 8-hour moisture lock is impressive, the glossy finish looks beautiful, and the fruity flavors make it a joy to apply. The main drawbacks are its jar packaging (less hygienic than tubes), the fact that it is not fungal acne safe, and a price point of $22 for 10g that may feel steep compared to larger competitors. Overall, it earns its cult status as a premium lip treatment that delivers on its promises of plumped, smooth, and moisturized lips.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
