Coming to San Diego farmers markets — August 2026

No "natural flavors." Ever.

Every ingredient in every tube is named, explained, and there for a reason — real vanilla bean, not a lab's idea of vanilla. Watch the whole cast come out of the tube.

South Haven, Michigan

Late summer, Lake Michigan a block away, the whole town smelling faintly of sunscreen and fudge. In one of those little shops a family drifts through on a slow afternoon, I handed my niece a surprise I'd been working on for months — a lip balm I made especially for her.

She didn't just swipe it on. She held the tube by the very end, fingertips only — like it was evidence. Put it on. Paused. And then, loud enough that strangers turned around, she gave her verdict:

“My lips love it.”

No coaching, no politeness — just a kid telling the truth in public. The company had its name before it had a label. Now every tube has one job: earn that same sentence from you.

What should your lips love next?

Tell us the flavor. If it's real enough to make, we'll make it — same honesty rules as everything else in the tube.
