The formula
A tinted lip oil that wraps lips in glassy, radiant shine and a soft, pillow-like cushion. A weightless oil base of octyldodecanol and a castor-derived emollient copolymer glides on without dripping, laying down luminous color that builds from a sheer wash to medium coverage, while candelilla wax gives the oil its plush, non-drip body. The emollient base leaves lips feeling soft, cushioned and comfortable.1
Power Play is a deep rose pink.
Finish: high-shine · Coverage: sheer to medium, buildable
Paraben-free. Cruelty-free. Made in North America.
1 Softness and comfort describe the feel of the emollient oil base, not a measured hydration or lip-plumping claim about this finished product.
The science
Biocompatible carrier confirmed
Octyldodecanol selected as the oil phase in a peer-reviewed nanoemulsion study published in Biomolecules, where it enhanced ceramide solubility and supported transdermal delivery in a skin-compatible lipid system, confirming its function as an effective conditioning carrier in leave-on topical formulas.1
Botanical precursor safety established
Hydrogenated Castor Oil, the primary botanical precursor of this formula's film-forming copolymer, confirmed safe as used in cosmetic formulations by the CIR Expert Panel, with no sensitization, reproductive toxicity, or systemic toxicity findings in the available safety dataset.2
112-subject HRIPT zero sensitization
Disteardimonium Hectorite evaluated in a human repeat insult patch test at 100% concentration with zero sensitization reactions recorded, confirmed safe as used in cosmetic formulations across the full ammonium hectorite safety assessment.3
Plant wax structural integrity validated
Candelilla Wax confirmed safe in a CIR safety assessment of plant-derived waxes covering all evaluated cosmetic product categories, with no sensitization or irritation findings at any reported use concentration in leave-on lip formulas.4

What does lip oil actually do?
A tinted lip oil that wraps lips in glassy, radiant shine and a soft, pillow-like cushion. A weightless oil base of octyldodecanol and a castor-derived emollient copolymer glides on without dripping, laying down luminous color that builds from a sheer wash to medium coverage, while candelilla wax gives the oil its plush, non-drip body.
What color is Power Play?
Power Play is a deep rose pink. Finish: high-shine. Coverage: sheer to medium, buildable.
What can I wear with this lip oil?
Layer over a creamy lipstick for the same colour with more cushion. Define first with a soft liner, then flood with conditioning shine.
What does octyldodecanol do in this lip oil?
Octyldodecanol is a branched-chain fatty alcohol that forms the liquid emollient base of this lip oil formula, providing the cushioned slip at the lip surface that distinguishes this texture from both traditional lip gloss and conventional lip oil formats. Its high molecular weight limits skin penetration, so it stays at the lip surface as a soft, comfortable film during wear, without heaviness or residue.
