A soothing, transparent balm that provides deep, lasting moisture without stickiness. Formulated with gentle plant-based ingredients, it’s a perfect daily staple to protect lips from the drying effects of Mauritian heat, sun, and indoor air-conditioning, leaving them feeling smooth and comfortable.

Struggling with persistently dry, chapped lips that never seem fully hydrated? This balm offers immediate comfort and builds healthier, more resilient lips over time with a clean, vegan formula.

• Texture: Smooth, buttery balm that glides on easily.
• Finish: Natural, healthy sheen without a greasy or sticky feel.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturises, nourishes with plant-based oils, and soothes sensitive lips.
• Best For: All skin types, especially those with dry, sensitive, or chapped lips. Ideal for daily use by all genders.

1) Cleanse: Start with a clean face.

2) [THIS PRODUCT]: Swipe the balm directly onto lips.

3) Apply as needed: Use throughout the day for continuous hydration, especially under sunscreen in the AM and as a final step in your PM routine.

Note: Already own a similar lip balm? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Daily Use — AM/PM & As Needed:

• Amount: One or two swipes are enough to cover the lips. It's a soft, melting formula, so extend the balm just a little at a time.
• Apply to: Dry lips. Can also be applied over a lip tint for added moisture and a subtle sheen.
• Method: Glide the balm directly across your lips. Press lips together to distribute evenly.
• Frequency: Apply as often as needed throughout the day and as the last step of your skincare routine before bed.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very dry or flaky lips? Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub 1-2 times a week before applying the balm to ensure smooth application.
• Under matte lipstick? Apply a thin layer and blot gently after a minute to hydrate lips without compromising the matte finish.
• Want a natural look? This clear balm provides a healthy, non-glossy sheen perfect for a "no-makeup" look.

• Immediate: Lips feel instantly soothed, comfortable, and hydrated with a soft, smooth finish.
• 1-2 Weeks: With regular use, you'll notice a reduction in dryness and flakiness. Lips feel consistently softer and more supple.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The lip barrier is healthier and more resilient. Lips are less prone to chapping and maintain their moisture for longer.

Why use this, not just lick your lips?

Licking your lips provides temporary relief but actually makes them drier. Saliva contains digestive enzymes that break down the thin skin on your lips, and as it evaporates, it draws more moisture away. A nourishing balm like this one provides lasting hydration with beneficial oils and butters, healing dryness instead of worsening it.

• Works With: All skincare and makeup products. It can be layered over lip tints and stains to add moisture, or under lipsticks as a hydrating base.
• Use Carefully: No known incompatibilities.
• Avoid On: Not intended for use on the skin around the lips, which may have different needs (e.g., if you are acne-prone).

• All Skin Types: Excellent for anyone.
• Especially Good For:
  • Dry / Dehydrated Lips: Provides essential, lasting moisture.
  • Sensitive Lips: The clean, vegan formula without added fragrance is designed to be gentle and soothing.

• Dryness & Dehydration
• Chapped or Flaky Lips
• Sensitive or Easily Irritated Lips
• Maintaining a Healthy Lip Barrier
