empower lip butter being applied naturally to lips in soft daylight

this is why we call it lip butter.

hellomellow lip butter starts with rich avocado + mango butters. that's what gives it the creamy, buttery feel that makes it different from basic lip balm.

there's no petroleum and no synthetic fragrance.

avocado + mango butters soften dry lips. beeswax gives the formula structure, while calendula-infused oil rounds out the simple, concentrated formula.

it's rich, buttery care for dry lips in one little tube.

keep it where you’ll actually use it.

    dry lips don’t wait until you’re home. keep one with you so you can grab it the second you notice you need more.

what’s actually in your lip butter.

the formula is deliberately small and concentrated.

  • avocado + mango butters give it that rich, buttery feel.
  • beeswax gives the formula structure.
  • and then there’s our calendula-infused oil.

we make that infusion ourselves, slowly.
the calendula flowers sit in oil for weeks, sometimes months, until the oil turns that beautiful golden color we’re looking for. we make it extra potent because calendula has long been one of my favorite plants for caring for dry, delicate skin.

  • then we add the essential oils that create your chosen aroma.

everything has a job. nothing is there just to take up space.

what's actually in it.

water-free, and made without unnecessary filler.

This is the best lip balm I’ve ever used. I’ve tried so many over the years and nothing ever really fixed my dry lips — I was constantly reapplying. This one is totally different. It’s so creamy and you can feel the real butters right away. My lips stay soft for hours and I don’t feel like I need to keep putting more on.

I decided to try the lip butter after my first body butter order…and I love them! The light scent is so delightful, they keep my lips soft and hydrated. Ill definitely be buying more.

more about this lip butter.

uplift is the lip butter that somehow feels fresh and cozy at the same time. grapefruit brings the bright citrus first, while vanilla softens it into something you’ll happily keep right under your nose all day.

underneath the aroma is the part that makes this very different from a cute smell-good balm. avocado + mango butters give dry lips rich, creamy moisture, while beeswax helps that softness stay with you instead of disappearing after the first sip of coffee.

keep uplift in your bag, at your desk or anywhere a little grapefruit + vanilla sounds good. swipe it on when your lips ask for more and get on with your day.

lip butter questions, answered.

what makes lip butter different from regular lip balm?

ours starts with rich avocado + mango butters and skips petroleum altogether. the result is a creamier, more buttery kind of moisture than a basic swipe-on balm.

how often should i use it?

whenever your lips want it.

there’s no schedule. keep it somewhere convenient and swipe it on when your lips feel dry, tight or like they need more.

will it feel waxy or sticky?

it’s made to feel creamy and buttery rather than like a heavy wax coating.

beeswax gives the formula structure, while avocado + mango butters give it that rich lip-butter feel.

what’s special about the calendula-infused oil?

we make our calendula infusion ourselves and let the flowers slowly steep in oil for weeks, sometimes months, until we get that beautiful golden infusion we’re looking for.

tracy has always loved calendula for caring for dry, delicate skin, so we make ours extra potent before adding it to the lip butter.

does it contain synthetic fragrance?

no.

each aroma comes from essential oils and our aromatic ingredients, never synthetic fragrance.

are the aromas strong?

they’re intentionally light.

lip butter sits right under your nose, so you don’t need a huge amount of aroma to enjoy it.

which aroma should i choose?

choose the one that sounds good to you.

fresh citrus. minty herbal. green floral. warm cedarwood + vanilla.

there isn’t a right one, and you may end up keeping different aromas in different places.

is it water-free?

yes.

there’s no water added to the formula, so every swipe is concentrated butters, beeswax, calendula-infused oil + the ingredients that create your chosen aroma.
