We’re here, lets chatBeetle-free and totally edible.
When we set out to add a subtle, natural tint to our lip balm, we discovered that many other brands use something called Cochineal - a red colouring made by boiling beetles. Yep, beetles. It can also appear on labels as Carmine, Natural Colours or Natural Red Number. 4. While there’s nothing technically wrong with it (unless you’re a Cochineal insect), the idea of bug residue on our lips didn’t quite sit right with us. So, we found a nicer way.
Instead, we use Raphanus Sativus (Radish) Root Extract - a natural pigment derived from radishes! It gives the Strawberry Tinted Lip Balm its beautiful reddish tint, minus the bugs and synthetic dyes. Plus, it’s rich in antioxidants and has gentle astringent properties to help keep lips healthy, moisturised and naturally vibrant.
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Tocopheryl (Natural Vitamin E), Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Sorbitan Olivate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Fragrance - Strawberry (Phthalate-free), Citric Acid, Raphanus Sativus Root Extract, Maltodextrin, Bentonite.
Because we make our products for our families, we have a strict ingredient philosophy that excludes ingredients like Parabens, Phenoxyethanol and penetration enhancers.
We show all of the ingredients we use in our products on our website, not just the pretty ones. That way you know exactly what's in each one, and can get in touch if you have any more questions.
Please be aware that the ingredients we use in our formulas may be updated occasionally and therefore vary from time to time. Please refer to the ingredient list on the product packaging for the most up-to-date and relevant list of ingredients.
What ingredients do you avoid when making a lip balm?
There's lots of things you won't find in these lip balms (or any of our other products) because they were all formulated for family members and close friends. This includes Paraffin and Mineral Oil which derive from petroleum, but are commonly found in most commercial lip products. We don’t think putting the stuff that goes into our cars on our lips is the healthiest thing we can do, especially when everything on the lips eventually gets eaten.
We also don’t use any synthetic preservatives such as Parabens and Phenoxyethanol, although they're pretty common too, including with a few brands that claim to be natural (you know who you are!). We avoid a lot of other things too, way too many to list here.
