100% Compostable Lip Balm

Organic, Functional, Zero Waste

For the woman who has tried everything. This compostable lip balm is for you.

She uses lip balm constantly — through meetings, travel, wind, coffee, and interruptions by a MAN. She's exhausted by products that vanish, slide off, or do nothing (also like some men). She keeps this one clipped to her hip. She knows where it is. She knows what's in it. She's not going back.

This is the balm you reach for without thinking, because it has earned that.

For skin that carries your mischief, your magic, and your momentum — in a tube the earth can take back to where it came from.


Lip Balm for People Who Are Done Settling

After a decade formulating for brands that said "no" every time I pushed for a functional ingredient — this organic lip balm is for you.

TO the D-bags who slashed cost after cost: the margins saying don't support it. Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood runs close to $7,000 a kilo. Nobody puts that in a lip balm.

I did it anyway. It might bite me in the tuckus, but at least your lips will be moisturized.


What's Actually In It (And Why It Works)

sage on the stage - lip whip is what happens when a formulator stops asking for a permission slip to do things.

  • Orange wax — made from upcycled orange peels, this acts as a biological seal. It's what the orange uses to protect itself from drying out. On your lips, it does the same: locks moisture in so when you drink your espresso, kiss someone, or stand in April wind, the formula stays where you put it. Feels like butter and satin had a baby

  • Organic sage + clary sage oils — keep the surface antimicrobial and calm. If you have cold sores, this is your HERO

  • Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood — sustainably harvested, antioxidant-dense, skin-repairing, and supports reforestation efforts. The ingredient every brand said "we can't afford." It's in here because you deserve what works, and I'm tired of filling the pockets of balding white men


The Zero Waste Lip Balm Tube Is Part of the Point

Introducing Clement Packaging — World Economic Forum 2025 Top Innovator. They make the stick from upcycled bamboo byproduct (milled shavings, not processed fiber — so before you jump on my back about bamboo toxicity: that's for clothes, this is different) and fermentation-derived bio-resins.

  • No petroleum plastic

  • No BPA, PFAS, or phthalates

  • Home-compostable, TÜV/DIN CERTCO-certified

  • Breaks down in under 2 hours in a kitchen composter

91% of recyclable plastics still end up in landfills. This one WONT/ IT CAN’T. Isn’t Science cool?
