In detail

Vanilla custard rather than frosting.

The quiet one of the ten. Creamy and round, more custard than cake, a smell you notice when you lift the cap and then stop thinking about, in a good way.

The balm is a pale custard yellow, opaque and smooth, under a vanilla cap. It goes on clear and glossy and leaves no color on your lips. It is the jar for a book in the evening, or the one that sits by the keyboard all week, quietly, until you need it.

  • Vanilla flavor, creamy and soft
  • Custard yellow in the jar, clear on the lips
  • A soft, buttery balm with a glossy shine
  • Beeswax, propolis and vitamin E, as described by the maker

Inside the jar

Key ingredients

Key ingredients as described by the maker, still being confirmed in writing.

Beeswax
A soft, pale golden wax that smells faintly of honey when it is warm. It gives the balm its body.
Propolis
A sticky, amber-brown resin gathered from tree buds, with a warm, slightly spicy smell.
Vitamin E (tocopherol)
A pale golden, oil-soluble vitamin, listed on ingredient labels as tocopherol.
Vanilla flavor
The flavor you taste on your lips: creamy vanilla. Vanilla itself comes from the dark, dried pods of a climbing orchid.

Contains: Bee products (beeswax, propolis).

Full ingredient list: to be printed on the jar, and e-mailed as soon as we have it

Still being confirmed with the maker: jar, period after opening and full ingredients (INCI).

Directions

How to use

  1. 1

    Open the jar.

  2. 2

    Scoop a little balm with the spatula or a clean fingertip.

  3. 3

    Dab it onto your lips and smooth it out.

  4. 4

    Close the jar right after use.

Storage

  • Close the jar tightly after each use.
  • Store below 86°F (30°C), away from direct sunlight and heat: the balm softens in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill.
  • Wipe the spatula clean after use and keep it with the jar.

Questions

About this jar

Something else? Write to us from our contact page. We reply within 2 business days.

Is it very sweet?

Softly sweet: creamy and round, never cloying.

Why is it yellow in the jar?

That is the custard color of the balm itself. It goes on clear and glossy, so it leaves no color on your lips.

Is the scent strong?

No. You notice it when you lift the cap and as you dab it on, and then it fades into the background.

Is it a good choice if my skin is sensitive?

We cannot promise that for anyone's skin. It contains bee products, beeswax and propolis, and propolis is a known contact allergen: do not use it if you are allergic to bees, bee products, honey, pollen or balsam of Peru. If your skin is sensitive, patch test first on the inside of your wrist and wait a day. Stop and ask a doctor if redness, itching, swelling or a rash appears. More on our Safe Use page.

How do shipping and returns work?

Shipping is included in the price; there is no separate delivery charge. Orders ship within 1 to 3 business days, then take 7 to 12 business days in transit, so allow about 8 to 15 business days from order confirmation. We deliver to the 50 US states and Washington, D.C. Import duties and customs fees are paid by us. If a carrier ever asks you for any, contact us and we will cover it in full. Unopened products with the seal intact can be returned within 30 days of delivery if you change your mind. For hygiene, a balm, scrub or mask that has been opened or used cannot be returned for a change of mind. A product that arrives damaged, leaking, with a broken or missing seal, past its date or wrong is replaced or refunded: send us a photo by e-mail, there is nothing to mail back. Return shipping for a change of mind is paid by the customer; we send the return address by e-mail, and it may be outside the United States. For a defective, damaged or wrong item, we pay it. You can cancel free of charge until your order ships.
