Questions about this product.
-
Yes - sensitive skin is our entire starting point. This vegan lip balm is formulated in small batches in Dunedin NZ using gentle, plant-based ingredients that are kind to reactive skin. If your lips react easily, patch test on a small area first just to be sure.

They're related but noticeably different. Peppermint is sharper and more intense - the kind of cool that hits you immediately. Spearmint is softer and fresher - a gentler, more subtle mint that feels clean rather than strong. If you find peppermint too sharp or medicinal, spearmint is usually the better choice for everyday lip care.

Not at all. The texture is silky and smooth, absorbs quickly, and leaves a natural finish rather than a thick coating. It's one of the things we're most proud of with this formula - all the hydration, none of the stickiness.

Yes - and that's actually when it works best. The combination of NZ harakeke oil, shea butter, and castor oil creates a protective moisture barrier that helps dry or cracked lips feel comfortable and start to recover. Apply a slightly thicker layer to very dry areas and let it absorb fully. For best results, apply before bed and let it work overnight - you'll notice a difference by morning.

Same base formula, same gentle ingredients across all our lip balms - the difference is entirely the scent. Spearmint is fresh, cool, and clean - the most refreshing of the range. Bubblegum is sweet and playful. Orange is bright and citrusy. Vanilla is soft and warm. All are equally hydrating and made for sensitive skin. It really comes down to which scent feels most like you.
