Petroleum-free · Lip balm

Petroleum-Free Natural Lip Balm

Looking for a lip balm without petrolatum or mineral oil? Ours uses grass-fed tallow, coconut oil, and beeswax instead.

  • No petrolatum

    No mineral oil, either.

  • Tallow base

    A traditional fat.

  • Beeswax

    For structure and protection.

  • Three ingredients

    All food-grade.

Petrolatum vs. a tallow-based balm

Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is a widely used, effective occlusive. It forms a seal that slows water loss, and cosmetic-grade petrolatum is considered safe. Plenty of people use it happily.

Others simply prefer a balm made from natural fats and waxes. A tallow-based balm protects in a similar way — beeswax and tallow form a breathable layer — while also adding a rich, conditioning fat.

What's in ours

100% grass-fed and finished tallow, organic unrefined coconut oil, and natural beeswax. Unflavored and unscented.

If you're coming from a petroleum balm, ours will feel a little different — softer and more cushiony, less slick.

Ingredients

The full lip balm formula — three ingredients

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Adds a smooth, easy glide.

  3. 3

    Natural beeswax

    Gives the balm its shape and forms a breathable layer that helps reduce moisture loss.
