WHERE COLOR MEETS CARE
So many of you have been curious about this so let’s talk about it.
At xoxo Gina, we believe beauty shouldn’t come at the expense of your lips or the planet. That’s why we’ve carefully crafted every lip formula to deliver more than just gorgeous color. Behind every swipe is a science-backed blend of ingredients designed to nourish, protect, and enhance your lips over time. One of those quiet heroes? Palmitic Acid, sustainably derived from responsibly sourced palm pulp.
What Is Palmitic Acid?
Palmitic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in palm oil, olive oil, and even the human body. But what makes our use of Palmitic Acid unique is how it’s sourced. At xoxo Gina, we partner only with palm suppliers committed to sustainable, ethical practices ensuring their operations do not contribute to deforestation, environmental harm, or unfair labor. That means zero compromise for you or the planet.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Lips
Your lips are thin, delicate, and prone to dehydration, especially with daily wear and exposure to the elements. Palmitic Acid acts like a conditioning veil, helping to:
- Replenish lip moisture
- Support the skin barrier (yes, lips have one too!)
- Smooth texture and improve softness
- Lock in hydration to prevent cracking and flaking
It’s one of those behind-the-scenes ingredients that makes your lips look healthier, feel softer, and wear color even better.
Part of Our Youth Boost Blend
When I developed our proprietary Youth Boost Complex, I wanted more than surface-level results. I wanted every product to feel like skincare for your lips. Palmitic Acid is one of the essential building blocks of that blend chosen for its ability to deliver long-term nourishment, comfort, and resilience. It’s especially important for those of us with sensitive lips, where dryness, irritation, and reactivity can be everyday concerns.
Because Lips Deserve Special Care
Let’s face it your lips do a lot. Smiling. Talking. Eating. Expressing joy, love, and everything in between. And yet, they’re often forgotten in the skincare conversation. That’s why every xoxo Gina lip formula from velvet mattes to glosses and crayons is designed to treat your lips with care, while delivering the kind of vibrant color that makes you feel unstoppable. You deserve both. And your lips do too.
With love, confidence, and always a pop of color
xoxo Gina
