Tinted Lip Balm FAQ
What makes these different from regular tinted lip balms?
Most tinted balms rely on synthetic dyes and plastic packaging. Ours pairs certified organic butters and oils with mineral pigments, all packed into a fully plastic-free, compostable tube, so your lips stay nourished while the tint lasts.
Are they suitable for sensitive lips?
Yes. The formula steers clear of common irritants along with synthetic fragrances and dyes. As with any cosmetic product, it's recommended you do a patch test first if you have known sensitivities.
How long does the color last?
The creamy combination of cocoa and mango butters keeps both color and hydration going throughout the day, without any heavy or sticky feeling.
Can I build up the color?
Yes — apply one layer for a sheer wash of color, then add additional layers for deeper intensity.
Is the packaging truly eco-friendly?
Yes. The tube is made of paper, is plastic-free, and is home compostable — and this extends to our shipping materials as well.
Are these vegan and cruelty-free?
They are certified vegan by the Vegan Society and certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. See our Ingredient FAQ for more details.
