Popular Q&A's for Lip Balms & Treatments

1. What are the benefits of using natural lip balms and treatments?

Natural lip balms and treatments nourish and protect your lips with food grade, hydrating ingredients like botanical oils, butters, and waxes. Like our lipsticks and lip gloss, they're free from petroleum jelly, petrolatum & paraffins that can irritate or dry out your lips. Intensive lip treatments provide extra care for severely chapped or damaged lips.

2. How often should I apply lip balm or treatment?

Apply lip balm as needed throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated and protected. For intensive lip treatments, follow the product instructions as they may be designed for specific usage. You can also apply lip balm before bed to help support your lips' natural overnight renewal process.

3. Can I use lip balm under lipstick or as a multi-purpose product?

Yes, applying lip balm before lipstick can help create a smooth base and prevent your lips from drying out. It can also tone down vibrant lip shades to sheer washes of colour. Some multi-purpose balms can even be used on other dry areas like cuticles or elbows for extra convenience.

4. What ingredients should I look for in natural lip products?

Look for lip balms and treatments with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, beeswax, and vitamin E. For extra hydration, seek products with hyaluronic acid or similar ingredients found in quality moisturisers. SPF lip balms should contain mineral sunscreen ingredients like zinc oxide.

5. Are there natural lip balms with SPF protection?

Yes, many natural lip balms contain mineral sunscreen ingredients to help protect your lips from the sun's harmful UV rays. Look for SPF ratings and broad-spectrum protection, especially if you spend time outdoors. Clear SPF balms work under any lip colour, while tinted SPF balms provide colour and protection in one step.
