Fatty Acids.

Definition

What it means.

Building blocks of fats and oils that are essential for healthy skin. Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. They are far more effective at genuine hydration than petroleum derivatives, which lack any nutritional value for the skin.

Lauric Acid

A medium-chain fatty acid found abundantly in coconut oil (about 50% of its composition). Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. It also contributes to coconut oil's ability to penetrate skin quickly and deliver deep hydration. The lauric acid in Numbrrrz's Organic Coconut Oil base is one of the key reasons our lip balm works so effectively.

Coconut Oil

An oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts, rich in medium-chain fatty acids including lauric acid. In lip care, coconut oil penetrates quickly to deliver deep hydration at a cellular level. Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. Numbrrrz uses certified Organic Coconut Oil (cold-pressed virgin) to preserve the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.

Jojoba Oil

A liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Its molecular structure closely resembles human sebum, allowing it to integrate with the skin's natural moisture system. Jojoba is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, and is non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It provides sustained moisture by working in harmony with the body's own oils.
