Featured Lip Balm Ingredients

Scharffen Berger Unsweetened Chocolate (Theobroma cacao)

This award-winning gourmet chocolate is felt by many of America's top chefs to be the best chocolate anywhere.

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii)

Shea butter comes from the natural fat obtained from the karite tree grown in West and Central Africa. Our Shea butter is expeller pressed without the use of solvents. Ours is whole and unrefined, which means it retains the maximum amount of nutrients.

Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus)

A light nearly odorless oil, it consists mainly of oleic acid (69%), essential unsaturated fatty acids (25%), sterolins (.5 to 1%) and vitamin E (about 10 IU per ounce). Cold pressed to retain maximum nutrients.

Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus armeniaca)

Apricot kernel oil comes from the large pits of apricots that yield up to 45% oil. Apricot kernel oil has 30% unsaturated essential fatty acid content. Cold pressed to retain maximum nutrients.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

Vitamin E oil is an emollient, anti-oxidant, and natural preservative.

Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis)

Contains antioxidants which are oil soluble. It is also a natural preservative.

Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao)

This is pure cocoa extracted from roasted cocoa beans.

Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita)

Ours is distilled from organic peppermint grown in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis)

Cold pressed from the rind of the sweet orange grown in North America.

Lemon Oil (Citrus limon)

Cold pressed from the rind of the North American lemon.

Raspberry Extract (Rubus idaeus)

It was difficult to find a completely natural extract of raspberry that actually came from a raspberry, but we finally found ours in France, and it smells exactly like a ripe red raspberry!

Almond Extract (Prunus dulcis)

A natural extract of the bitter almond, also imported from France.

Coffee Extract (Coffea arabica)

Extracted from the highest quality coffee beans (arabica) using a pure CO2 extraction process.

Hazelnut Extract (Corylus avellana)

A natural Hazelnut CO2 extract made from roasted hazelnuts. Very hard to find, but it gives it that Nutella-like aroma.

Vanilla Extract (Vanilla planifolia) in Fractionated Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)

Madagascar vanilla beans infused in fractionated coconut oil using several charges to amplify the aroma. A very time-consuming process!

Beeswax

We use the natural golden form of beeswax, rather then the white bleached variety, for its beautiful sweet smell of honey.
