This formula is packed with moisturizing organic cocoa butter and avocado oil. It also uses wildcrafted plant wax instead of beeswax, so it's completely vegan.
Why is it called it a lip butter instead of a lip balm, or chapstick? Well, lip balm generally found in stores is oily and comes off within an hour or two. This lip butter is made with nourishing, premium cocoa butter that will stay on your lips for an extended period (about 4-8 hours on the lips). The product feels like a rich butter and has a matte finish.
Size: This waste-conscious paperboard tube holds 0.3 oz / 8.5 grams net weight, which is about 2 times bigger than a typical lip balm size. Should last for several months to a year (or longer). It is about 70% the size of the previous tube.
Shelf life: This product is most fresh when used within 18 months of purchase. Best stored in a cool place to keep it fresher longer.
Storage: As with any natural product, do not leave it in your car or directly in the hot sun to melt in the heat. It could melt and spill if it gets REALLY hot, and the constant heating and cooling will reduce its freshness. Under normal summer temperatures and shipping it does not typically melt.
Package materials: Paperboard tube coated with a thin coat of certified compostable PLA (polylactic acid which is a plant-based polymer material). The PLA prevents grease spots on the outside of the tube and prevents the design from rubbing off in your purse or pocket.
Ingredients: wildcrafted candelilla wax (plant wax), organic cocoa butter, organic coconut oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, lavender essential oil, bergamot essential oil, organic stevia leaf
End of life: Commercially compost or recycle the paperboard tube and PLA coated tube and paper sticker. If home composting, it will take 12+ months. Commercial composting will break down faster, in a few months since it reaches higher temperatures. It can be curbside recycled in the bin as well if it's cleaned out.
