Vanilla Bean

Most balms start with petroleum jelly. Ours starts with pure mango seed butter — the biggest ingredient in the tube. It's packed with a rare antioxidant called Mangiferin that helps defend against everyday environmental stress, while conditioning and smoothing dry, cracked lips back to comfortable. It's the exact reason this balm glides on like velvet instead of dragging across dry skin. On the label: Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter.

Straight from the hive, premium beeswax acts as a natural barrier. It stops what scientists call TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss) — a fancy way of saying dry air pulling the moisture right out of your skin. It locks our rich oils in place so they can actually do their job, sealing you off from harsh wind and cold. On the label: Cera Alba.

Your skin doesn't really know what to do with synthetic chemicals, but it instantly recognizes lanolin. Sourced humanely from washed sheep's wool, its molecular structure is almost identical to your skin's natural oils. It sinks deep past the surface to deliver plush, crazy long-lasting softness that easily outlasts a single swipe. It's also the honest reason this balm isn't vegan — and we'd rather say so than hide it. On the label: Lanolin.

If you're tired of reapplying your balm ten times a day, thank castor oil. It's made of 90% Ricinoleic Acid — an incredibly rare fatty acid that cushions and comforts dry, split lips. Because it's naturally dense, it anchors the balm to your lips for hours of heavy-duty hydration and a healthy, clean shine. On the label: Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil.

Jojoba isn't actually an oil; it's a liquid wax ester that mirrors your skin's natural oils perfectly. Because your lips recognize it as their own, they drink it right in. It carries the good stuff deep down rather than just sitting lazily on top as a greasy film. On the label: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.

Say goodbye to rough, textured lips. Pure shea butter is loaded with Phytosterols that help defend against everyday environmental stress. It teams up with our mango butter to smooth away flaky skin and give you that instantly soft, comforting application. On the label: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.

An exceptionally lightweight oil loaded with natural Vitamin A and zinc. It vanishes into the skin almost instantly, smoothing out those annoying dry patches and leaving your lips feeling deeply nourished without a heavy feel. It's also the oil we steep the calendula in, so it carries that conditioning into the tube. On the label: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil.

We use unrefined, virgin coconut oil for its perfect melting point — it literally turns to liquid the exact second it touches your lips for a zero-friction application. Plus it's packed with Lauric Acid and melts on contact to leave lips feeling clean, fresh, and comfortable. On the label: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil.

A tiny bit of this plant-derived ingredient does a massive amount of heavy lifting. It's a humectant, which means it acts like a sponge — literally pulling moisture straight out of the air and driving it deep into your lips to keep them plump and flexible all day. On the label: Glycerin.

No fake, alcohol-based lab flavors that secretly dry your lips out. We steep real, whole vanilla beans directly into our warm oils, then finish the batch with a concentrated CO2 extract of the actual beans — pressurized carbon dioxide instead of drying alcohols, so it delivers deep, authentic flavor without breaking our promise of purity. That's the whole flavor: vanilla, not a lab's idea of vanilla, with a comforting scent and a natural dose of antioxidants. On the label: Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract.

Here's the industry secret: real vanilla is one of the most expensive flavors on earth — the beans are hand-pollinated, cured for months, and priced like it. That's exactly why nearly every company quietly swaps in a lab-built "natural flavor" and hopes you never ask. We'd rather pay for the real thing. Our vanilla CO2 extract is pressed from actual cured beans using pressurized carbon dioxide — no drying alcohols, no synthetic vanillin — nothing but concentrated, true vanilla. It's the most expensive drop in the tube, and the first thing you'll notice. On the label: Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract.

Pure Tocopherol pulls double duty. On your lips, it's rich in antioxidants that help defend against everyday environmental stress. Inside the tube, it naturally keeps our raw butters fresh so the very last swipe out of the tube is just as good as the first. On the label: Tocopherol.

Calendula is a legendary botanical, prized for centuries. We use premium marigold flowers infused into our sweet almond oil to draw out everything they've got — a gentle conditioning botanical that helps keep lips soft, smooth, and comfortable. It's here because it earns its place, not because it looks good on a label. On the label: Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract.
