Details
An unflavoured, unscented lip balm in a pocket-safe aluminum tin. Six pure plant ingredients, listed below with percentages that add to 100.00% exactly.
- You swallow what you apply: Lip skin has no stratum corneum worth the name and zero sebaceous glands, and whatever you put on it is ingested over the following hours. Every ingredient in this tin is held to an edible food-grade standard.
- No flavour and no sweetener: Flavour triggers salivation and compulsive lip-licking. Licking strips the lipid barrier film, saliva enzymes irritate the lip edge, and rapid evaporation dehydrates the lips further. That deliberate commercial loop is broken here.
- No cooling or peeling cheats: Zero menthol, camphor, or phenol (irritants that create fake cold sensations while inflaming mucous membranes) and zero salicylic acid (peeling agents on a lip that is already peeling).
- 100% plant-lipid barrier: Zero petrolatum and zero mineral oil. Replaced by a balanced plant-lipid matrix of unrefined shea butter (35.0%), virgin castor oil (21.7%), pure cocoa butter (16.0%), golden jojoba oil (15.0%), and vegan candelilla wax (12.0%).
- Genuinely preservative-free: Water activity is below 0.35, well below the 0.60 threshold under ISO 29621 where microorganisms can grow. It requires zero chemical preservatives of any kind.
- Packaging: 10 g deep-drawn seamless aluminum pocket tin with a knurled screw cap and EPE barrier liner. 100% plastic-free, infinitely recyclable, and will never crush, jam, or soften in hot weather.
- Honest trade-offs: It has no SPF (use mineral zinc sunscreen for prolonged sun exposure); it tastes faintly of natural cocoa butter and nutty shea; and its finish is natural matte to satin without cosmetic gloss.
Product information
Ingredients (INCI), in descending order, with percentages
- Full list
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Tocopherol
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Unrefined cold-pressed shea butter)
- 35.00 percent, unrefined wild-crafted grade; soft emollient body and natural barrier lipids
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil (Virgin cold-pressed castor oil)
- 21.70 percent; about 90 percent ricinoleic acid for lasting moisture barrier and lip adherence
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Pure prime pressed cocoa butter)
- 16.00 percent; solid structure, natural plant lipids, and subtle natural cocoa aroma
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Golden cold-pressed jojoba oil)
- 15.00 percent; sebum-mimetic liquid wax ester that cuts drag and ensures effortless winter glide
- Euphorbia Cerifera Cera (Refined candelilla vegetable wax)
- 12.00 percent; plant wax melting at 68.5 to 72.5°C, providing heat resistance against summer slump
- The 1 percent line
- Falls after candelilla wax. All six ingredients sum to 100.00 percent
- Tocopherol (Natural mixed Vitamin E)
- 0.30 percent; non-GMO mixed tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) to halt lipid oxidation over 30-month shelf life
- The sum
- 35.00 + 21.70 + 16.00 + 15.00 + 12.00 + 0.30 is 100.00 percent exactly
- Edible food-grade standard
- Lip skin sits against a mucous membrane and is ingested; all six ingredients are foods or food-grade materials
What is left out, and what took its place
- Flavour and sweetener
- None, and nothing replaced them. Flavour prompts licking, licking strips the film, and evaporation dehydrates the lips further
- Menthol, camphor, phenol
- None. All three are mucosal irritants that produce synthetic cold sensations while irritating delicate lip tissue
- Salicylic acid
- None. Peeling agents on a lip that is already peeling keeps the vermilion border chronically chapped
- Petrolatum and mineral oil
- Neither. Replaced by a 100 percent plant-lipid matrix of unrefined shea, pure cocoa, virgin castor, and golden jojoba
- Preservatives
- None, and verified: water activity is below 0.35, so under ISO 29621 there is no unbound water to support microbial growth
- Animal ingredients
- None. Zero beeswax, zero lanolin, zero carmine. 100 percent vegan plant wax and cold-pressed botanical butters
- Also absent
- Zero artificial dyes, zero pigments, zero shine agents, zero plumping actives, and zero synthetic fragrance or essential oils
Use, pack and shelf life
- Best for
- Chapped lips, dry weather, air-conditioned offices, air travel, and everyday moisture barrier protection
- Age
- All ages, including children, as a direct consequence of zero flavour, zero camphor, and zero menthol
- No SPF
- Deliberately none. If prolonged intense sun exposure is expected, apply mineral zinc sunscreen over the balm
- Finish
- Natural matte to satin. Invisible emollient protection that works on anyone without artificial shine or tint
- Net weight
- 10 g per tin (batch mean at or above 10.2 g)
- Heat behaviour
- Softening point is 58 to 64°C, passing 24 hours at 45°C without slumping, sweating, or weeping oil droplets
- Packaging format
- 10 g seamless deep-drawn aluminum pocket tin with knurled screw cap. 100 percent plastic-free, pocket-proof, crush-proof
- Cost per tin
- Rs 160 for single tin (Rs 16.00/g) and Rs 420 for pack of 3 (Rs 14.00/g)
- Shelf life
- 30 months unopened, 12 months after opening. The shelf life clock is lipid oxidation, verified by low peroxide value
