What people say

Bronze Winner, Tinted Lip Balm, Beauty Bible Awards 2021

Independent testers wrote: “My lips are definitely softer and it's a brilliant product for these strange times we have currently, as it doesn't smudge and keeps my lips soft with my masks being on and off all the time.”

“subtle and classy lip tint that offers a light sheen, softer lips and didn't smudge at all, even after my mask tried its best to smoosh it!”

“Easy to take with you if you're heading out and likely to be having a drink or something to eat – a winner for me. My daughter loved the look and has helped herself to a few try-ons; she's a convert, too.”

A la Carte Makeup Artist Harriette

"Extremely comfortable and hydrating on the lips, I love how natural these lipsticks are and they really brighten the face giving a fresh soft finish. An easy way to add a subtle pop of colour."

Key Ingredients

Cocoa Butter

A cream-coloured fat derived from cocoa beans, Theobroma Cacao is a renowned moisturizer used for centuries to keep skin soft and supple. It melts at body temperature, absorbing easily to retain moisture. Rich in cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), it treats eczema and dermatitis by inhibiting irritant immunoglobulin IgE, creating a protective barrier.

Peptides

Peptides are amino acids that serve as building blocks for the proteins which maintain skin’s structure and firmness. The Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 we use boosts collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also supports fibronectin, laminin and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity and making it a key age-supporting ingredient.

Beeswax

Produced by honey bees, Cera Alba is ideal for skin creams and ointments. It forms a protective layer, prevents moisture loss, improves elasticity, and relieves chapped skin. Beeswax is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and has antibiotic and warming properties. Our beeswax meets the highest British Pharmacopeia purity standards, ensuring quality and effectiveness.

Lanolin

Lanolin, a naturally derived emollient from sheep's wool, is a wonder ingredient for skin. It softens and protects skin, acting as an occlusive moisturizer that reduces trans-epidermal water loss by 20-30%. Lanolin improves skin smoothness, has antimicrobial properties, and is excellent for dry, cracked skin. In the refined form we use, it also has low allergy sensitivity.
