Key Botanical Ingredients
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a wonderfully nourishing botanical oil, valued for its moisturising and conditioning properties.
Rich in naturally occurring compounds, it helps soften dry lips and contributes to the balm's smooth, nourishing texture. It provides the main moisturising element of the formula and helps leave lips feeling supple and comfortable.
Comfrey
Comfrey is a traditional botanical ingredient valued in natural skincare for its soothing and skin-conditioning qualities.
In our lip balm, comfrey is infused into the olive oil, allowing its botanical properties to become part of the nourishing oil blend. It complements the formula's other ingredients and contributes to its comforting care for dry-feeling lips.
Calendula
Calendula, also known as marigold, has a long history of use in traditional skincare. It is particularly valued for its soothing and conditioning properties and is a lovely botanical choice for products designed to care for dry or delicate skin.
Beeswax
Beeswax provides the balm with its characteristic protective qualities.
It creates a light, natural barrier over the lips, helping to seal in moisture while protecting against the drying effects of everyday environmental exposure. It also gives the balm its smooth, solid stick format and helps it glide comfortably across the lips.

What Does This Lip Balm Do?
Our Hydrating Lip Balm Stick is designed to provide rich, everyday moisture and protective care for dry and delicate lips.
Lips are particularly prone to dryness because the skin on the lips is delicate and has less of the natural protective oils found elsewhere on the body. Cold weather, wind, dry indoor air and everyday exposure can all leave lips feeling dry, tight or chapped. This simple botanical balm provides a nourishing layer of moisture and protection whenever your lips need it.
Helps moisturise dry lips | olive oil provides rich botanical nourishment, helping to soften and condition the lips and leave them feeling smoother and more comfortable.
Helps soften rough, chapped lips | regular application helps provide the moisture and conditioning that dry lips need, helping rough-feeling lips feel softer and more supple.
Helps protect against moisture loss | beeswax forms a natural protective layer over the lips. This helps lock in moisture and provides a gentle barrier against the drying effects of wind, cold air and everyday environmental exposure.
Helps soothe sensitive-feeling lips | the fragrance-free formula is intentionally simple and contains botanical extracts of comfrey and calendula, traditionally valued for their soothing and skin-conditioning qualities.
Simple, effective botanical care | with just four core ingredients, the formula is uncomplicated by design. Olive oil, beeswax, comfrey and calendula work together to provide nourishing, protective lip care without added fragrance.
What Does It Look & Smell Like?
The Texture | the balm has a smooth, nourishing texture designed to glide easily over the lips. It applies comfortably without the heavy, sticky or excessively waxy feeling that some traditional lip balms can leave behind. Once applied, it leaves lips feeling conditioned, soft and protected. Because the formula is rich, only a small amount is needed each time.
The Appearance | the balm has a naturally simple appearance, reflecting the unbleached, botanical character of its ingredients. It is formulated without added colour, making it an understated everyday lip treatment that can be worn alone or underneath other lip products.
The Scent | our Hydrating Lip Balm is fragrance-free.
There are no added perfumes or essential oils, making it particularly appealing for those with sensitive lips or anyone who prefers their lip care to be completely unscented. The natural ingredients may have a very subtle botanical aroma, but the finished balm does not have a deliberately added fragrance.

As with any new skincare product, we recommend patch testing before first use where appropriate.
Usage Instructions
Using the balm couldn't be easier.
Gently push the base of the cardboard tube to release a small amount of balm.
Glide the balm directly over your lips, covering the areas that feel dry or in need of nourishment.
Apply as often as required throughout the day. It is particularly useful before going outdoors, whenever your lips feel dry, or as part of your evening skincare routine.
Take care with the cardboard tube
Because the tube is made from recycled card rather than conventional plastic, it is important to push the base slowly and gently. This allows you to dispense just the right amount without pushing the balm too far out of the tube.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this lip balm fragrance-free?
Yes. Our Hydrating Lip Balm is fragrance-free, with no added perfume or essential oils.
This makes it particularly suitable for people who prefer simple, unscented lip care.
Is it suitable for sensitive lips?
Yes. The formula has been created with sensitive lips in mind and contains just four core ingredients: olive oil, beeswax, comfrey and calendula. However, individual sensitivities can vary, so we recommend patch testing before use if you are concerned about sensitivity.

The balm is nourishing, but it is designed to glide smoothly onto the lips without feeling excessively heavy or greasy. A small amount is generally enough to leave the lips feeling soft and conditioned.
Does it leave a waxy feeling?
Beeswax gives the balm its protective qualities, but the formula has been designed to avoid an overly waxy finish. It glides onto the lips smoothly and leaves behind a comfortable protective layer.
