Why we stand behind it
A supremely softening blend for parched lips forming a natural barrier to protect against extreme weather and seal in moisture. This cold-press formula is easy to apply, with a non-sticky texture that melts into chapped lips leaving them feeling comforted and supple. Natural rice wax beads gently exfoliate and melt in to remove dead skin and repair very dry and damaged lips, making them softer than ever. Lips are enlivened with the zesty and woody notes of our signature scent, elevated by fig and santal, and a glossy no-makeup makeup look finish.
Key ingredients
Safou oil: A unique vegetable oil that ethically slows down the ageing process of the skin, naturally improving texture and elasticity.
Sweet almond oil: A mild, hypoallergenic oil packed with vitamins, proteins, nutrients, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to nourish, soothe, strengthen and protect the skin and cuticles.
Shea Butter: A rich nut butter containing natural antioxidants and fatty acids. These fatty acids are rapidly absorbed by the skin to restore lipids and correct signs of ageing.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Smooth over a small amount of lip balm to dry lips with clean fingers as often as needed throughout the day. Wear on its own or dab over your lipstick. In the evening apply generously before bed for a deeply nourishing nighttime treatment. Tap to blend a small amount to your cheekbones for a dewy, natural looking highlight.
Pro-tip
Layer underneath your lipstick to keep your lips nourished and protected. In the evenings apply generously on the lips as an overnight mask to prevent moisture loss.
