Vegan Rescue Lip Balm

This balm is a silky smooth and buttery consistency formulated to condition and brighten your lips overnight. Packaged in a generously sized plot, perfect for your bedside table. Simply apply it onto your lips before bed, and wake up with softer, more supple lips!

Cupuacu butter is our hero ingredient and is one of the super fruits of the Brazilian Amazonian Rainforest. It has a rich and intensive moisturizing quality, making it ideal for chapped lips that need some extra TLC. It is full of beneficial fatty acids and is often referred to as the vegan alternative to lanolin.

Melissa (Lemon Balm) oil is another key ingredient. It is a lemon-scented herb that comes from the same family as mint, and works wonders on cold sores!

With the addition of Turmeric in this blend, besides being a powerful antioxidant, it will also help to brighten the appearance of your lips.

We’ve ensured that our hero ingredient has been ethically sourced, and meet the following principles:

• Only legal sources;
• Sustainable practices;
• No development on conservation units;
• Not favouring mono-culture plantations but diversified agroforestry systems;
• Compliance with their established Code of Conduct which describes their expectations in food safety, forced labor, child labor, abuse of labor, freedom of association and collective bargaining, discrimination and harassment, wages and benefits, work hours and overtime, health and safety, environment, and anti-corruption.
• Traceability of Amazonian rainforest seeds.

The tube is sealed with a home compostable washi tape.

Please note that we use cocoa butter in its organic and unrefined, natural form to sustain all its nutrients. Unrefined butter can be temperamental with temperature changes, which may change the colour and texture of the balm slightly, however, it does not affect the quality of the balm at all. If the balm softens or melts, it can be popped into the fridge for a few minutes until it hardens back up again.

Why cork?

The outer packaging is made from ethically sourced cork that provides our balm with natural insulation and protection from water and extreme weather conditions. The cork is harvested only during harvesting season when the cork can be removed from the tree without causing any damage. Because the bark regenerates after it is harvested, it causes no deforestation. Instead, the tree continues to produce cork for many years, without the tree ever being cut down!

The packaging is home compostable and 100% handmade in Sydney Australia, reducing our carbon emission.

Directions:  Use a lip brush or your finger to apply a thin layer of the lip stain onto your lips. You can add a second or third layer if you’d like a more prominent look. Lightly dab some onto your cheeks and gently rub them into your skin with your fingers or a soft blender. Avoid contact with clothes as they will stain.

Storage: Store all products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and any contact with water. If the balm melts, store it in a cool place until it solidifies back up.

Caution: Always patch test first and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Do not use if you have allergies to any of the ingredients. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your GP before use (for products with essential oils). Use within 12 months of purchase. For external use only.
