Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for sensitive lips?

Yes! This balm is formulated with 100% clean, natural ingredients that are trusted and clinically backed. They are known to help prevent dryness, support hydration and barrier protection. 100% naturally derived. Petroleum-Free. Petroleum isn't plastic, but it comes from the same place — crude oil. We skip it (and lanolin, parabens, and artificial flavors) for plant-based ingredients that actually hydrate, not just coat.

What makes this different from other balms?

Most balms with petroleum sit on top of your lips. Ours deeply hydrates by sinking in - helping to repair and soften.

Is the packaging eco-friendly?

Yes! Our cartons are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable.

Does this lip balm contain lanolin?

Nope! We skip the lanolin (a wool-derived ingredient) and use nourishing plant oils like sunflower, coconut, and aloe instead. You get serious moisture without the heavy, waxy feel—just clean ingredients that absorb quickly and work.

Are all hydrating lip balms the same formula?

Same clean base, different heroes. Toasted Coconut is your everyday go-to—nourishing, hydrating, and smells like vacation. Summer Fig has soothing Tamanu, Neem, and Turmeric, making it our top pick for sensitive or irritated lips that need a little more TLC.

How often can I use this?

As often as you want. Our lip balms are made to keep on repeat, so swipe on whenever you're in the mood for some lip-quenching hydration. If they're running really dry or chapped, apply a thick layer before bed and let it do its thing overnight.

One thing to note: these don't contain SPF, so if you're spending time in the sun, pair them with a dedicated lip SPF and reapply regularly.

Is this balm vegan and cruelty-free?

It's not vegan (due to Beeswax in the formula), but it is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified. Our lip balms use Beeswax as a natural alternative to petroleum that protects lips and locks in moisture. No lanolin or other animal-derived ingredients, though.

If you have a known allergy, be sure to check the full ingredient list on the label.

Will they leave my lips shiny or sticky?

Nope. No grease, no shine, no sticky film. Just soft, natural-looking lips that stay that way.

    Lovely and refreshing!

    I really enjoy the size of the component of this lip balm. The surface area is wider, which makes application a breeze! The Summer Fig flavour is mild, but the scent is lovely and refreshing, though its fruity base would be most ideal in warm weather over cold, if that kind of thing matters to you. But, most importantly, it works! I have extremely dry and dehydrated lips (an issue that is exacerbated in the winter) that peel and chap easily. This is soothing and hydrating enough that I keeps the dry flakes at bay, though I do need to reapply every few hours.

    I love this

    I like how compact this lip balm is. It's so small and I can take it anywhere. The quality is very nice and the scent summer fig is great and very hydrating.

    Dry lip life saver!

    I'm actually really impressed with this. My lips have been super dry lately, and this cleared that up almost overnight. One thing I didn't expect: it actually makes my lips look a bit fuller/plumped up, which is a nice bonus for a natural balm. ​Full disclosure—the avocado scent/taste threw me off at first. I wasn't a fan during the first few uses, but honestly? It grew on me. Now I don't even notice it. Definitely worth it for the results.
