Our best-selling lip balm re-imagined

When I chose to take a break from Kunye almost 2 years ago, I knew some things would be harder to walk away from than others. One of the things I missed most was spending time in the lab designing and formulating products. It is as sacred to me as my daily meditation practice, which is why I couldn’t stay away for very long.

Fast forward to today, and that’s how The Lip Balm came to be - late nights in the lab fuelled purely by wine and enthusiasm. Dry lips have plagued me my entire life. As a result, I've spent countless hours researching the best ways to heal, soften, and soothe dry and damaged lip skin. In fact, my desire to banish dry lips from my life forever was the reason why I created the balm V1 (known then as the Lip Conditioner) - which some have called the best lip balm ever.

So, I challenged myself to make it even better; and well folks, I did (if I do say so myself).

A beautiful balm is a staple in every make-up bag, dopp kit, gym bag, jeans pocket, car cup holder… the list could go on and on. A great balm should be three things - long-lasting, deeply moisturizing, and reparative as well as protective.

The condition of our lips is influenced by internal and external environmental factors. So, in addition to staying hydrated and well nourished, it’s always helpful to have your favourite balm on hand for when things get flakey.

I’m completely over the moon to (re)introduce The Lip Balm to the world. There's a lot of pride poured into each and every tube. It’s delightful in so many respects - It feels fantastic as you glide it across the lips, it stays on the lips and it isn’t too thick nor too thin, and the potent formula is packed with oils, rich butters, and waxes that shield your lips with relief and moisture that lasts long after the balm has settled in.

All this packaged in a modern roll-up stick for all self-identifying humans.

I hope you love it.
