WHAT'S IN OUR LIP BALM?
COCONUT OIL
What is it?
Coconut oil is made by pressing the meaty part of mature coconuts. Although it is more of a recent trend, tropical countries have used it for many years, as both a staple cooking ingredient and as nourishment for skin and hair.
Why do we use it?
It's an all-natural skin care must have! It's loaded with antioxidants, like vitamin E, that repair and nourish our skin, saturated fats that hydrate and protect our skin, and fatty acids, like lauric acid, that have potent antimicrobial properties.
What kind do we use?
Our coconut oil is extra virgin, organic, unrefined, and cold-pressed, meaning it is not heated, allowing it to retain its antioxidants and beneficial properties.

SHEA BUTTER
What is it?
Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) comes from the shea, or Karite, tree. The nuts of the shea fruit are ground and roasted into shea butter. Throughout the African Shea Belt, especially in the West African savanna, shea butter has been used for centuries for natural skin and hair care, with evidence showing that it has been farmed for at least 1000 years.
Why do we use it?
Shea butter, apart from being a super-moisturizer, boosts collagen production (which keeps your skin strong and discourages wrinkles) and aids in reducing inflammation. Lastly, it provides some protection against UV radiation (roughly SPF 6).
What kind do we use?
Our shea butter is raw, unrefined, and unbleached.

BEESWAX
What is it?
Beeswax is created in the salivary glands of honey bees. The bees secrete this wax to build their honeycombs. Beeswax has been used at least since the ancient Egyptians, who used it for everything from embalming to preserving writings to medical prescriptions.
Why do we use it?
For one, beeswax is a humectant, which means it helps retain water, keeping those lips happy and hydrated. And two, it keeps the lip balm solid, even on hot summer days.
What kind do we use?
Our beeswax is all-natural, unprocessed and raw. It does undergo filtering to remove unwanted debris, but that process is 100% chemical free and does not alter the beeswax. We source our beeswax from small farms that are committed to sustainable practices.

COCOA BUTTER
What is it?
A chocolate lover's favorite ingredient, cocoa butter is obtained from cocoa beans. The beans are fermented and roasted to form cocoa nibs, which are then separated into chocolate liquor and cocoa butter.
Why do we use it?
Cocoa butter is loaded with antioxidants that help keep your lips young and healthy, while providing needed hydration at the same time.
What kind do we use?
Our cocoa butter is an unrefined and raw.

JOJOBA OIL
What is it?
Jojoba oil is actually a plant wax that is created by the seeds of the jojoba plant. However, it is liquid at room temperature, which is why it is typically referred to as an "oil".
Why do we use it?
Jojoba oil is the closest natural alternative to sebum (the oily substance our bodies secrete to keep our skin and hair moisturized). This means that it keeps our skin smooth and prevents it from drying out just as sebum does. Jojoba oil has high concentrations of vitamin E, to keep your skin healthy and young.
What kind do we use?
Our jojoba oil is an unrefined, first-press, golden jojoba oil.
