Superfoods For Your Lips™️~

Superfood savvy or super over it? What’s all the hype over superfoods and super ingredients as we embrace the Summer of 2022, and is it, well, really worth the extra time and energy to know our vitamins, essential oils, plant nutrients and antioxidants? 

Yes. Absolutely.

Here’s why: 

At Mizzi, we believe education is power, and the more we read, learn, research and apply our understanding of great ingredients to make greater products, the happier we are in the lip universe, the greater impact we can have in delivering overall lip health, and the more likely our clients are to experience lip joy and lip longevity. 

According to the Harvard School of Public Health (that Harvard, and we kinda think they know what they’re talking about), “there is no scientifically based or regulated definition for superfood, but generally, a food is promoted to superfood ‘status’ when it offers very high levels of desirable nutrients, is linked to the prevention of disease, or is believed to offer several simultaneous health benefits beyond its nutritional value.” 

Furthermore, our smart friends at Merriam-Webster affirm the widespread, cultural use of the term and have officially defined it as “a food that is rich in compounds, such as antioxidants, fiber or fatty acids, considered beneficial to a person’s health”. 

Is it a brilliant marketing term? Yes. Emphatically so. In fact, the Boston University Gastronomy Blog noted that “marketing superfoods is murky territory, since strategies often revolve around claiming that one superfood could cure all that ails someone, regardless of what makes up the rest of a person’s diet”.  Fair point. 

However, wellness forward, plant compound heroine products, especially products that go on the skin, face, lips, and body, are absorbed and metabolized and as such need to be safe, scientifically sound and sustainable. Many superfoods, full of anti-inflammatory components, cell regenerators, and immunity boosters, pair well with essential oils, carrier oils, fruit and vegetable extractions and consequently, are great allies, especially for small –batch, artisanal cosmetics. Mizzi LOVES superfood ingredients and assesses very carefully which complement our product lines best.
