Lip balm is partially ingested with every application. Most contain petrolatum, synthetic fragrance, and parabens — ingredients you should not be consuming. This balm uses organic beeswax, avocado oil, shea butter, and rosehip oil. Every ingredient is food-adjacent in origin.

Calendula officinalis contains flavonoids and triterpenoids with documented anti-inflammatory activity. A clinical study found slow-infused calendula oil comparable to hydrocortisone cream for inflammatory skin conditions — without the risk of skin atrophy from prolonged steroid use.
