SCROLL FOR THE THREE THINGS IT DOES

THREE THINGS IT DOES

Three mechanisms. One tin.

Friction protection.

A surface that holds. Castor and isoamyl laurate build a slip film on contact. Stays through wear, sweat, and skin-on-skin friction.

Built to stay

Mucosal safety.

Manuka chemotype-locked. Lactic acid encapsulated. Sea buckthorn refined. Every batch sensation-gated 0/10. Yes, even there.

Yes, even there

Ecosystem support.

Glycogen feeds Lactobacillus. Ceramide NP supports lipid lamellae. Omega-7 for mucosal tissue. Works with the body, not over it.

18 INGREDIENTS · EVERY ONE EARNED ITS LINE

What's actually in the tin.

Most balms hide the formula behind a hero ingredient. We don't have a hero ingredient — we have an architecture.

Slip system

Castor oil, squalane, isoamyl laurate, MCT oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, hemisqualane, meadowfoam oil. Builds the friction film. Stays through wear.

Wax structure

Beeswax, candelilla wax, rice bran wax. Holds the tin firm. Holds the balm in place.

Ecosystem actives

Glycogen, sea buckthorn berry oil, evening primrose oil. Feeds the microbiome. Supports mucosal tissue.

Barrier stack

Ceramide NP, phytosphingosine, panthenyl ethyl ether (B5). Supports the lipid lamellae. The structure mucosal tissue depends on.

Calming, pH, antimicrobial, antioxidant

Bisabolol, lactic acid (lipid-encapsulated), allantoin, manuka oil (low-leptospermone chemotype), tocopherol, rosemary CO₂. Quiet roles. Real work.

Free from water, preservatives, petroleum, parabens, synthetic fragrance, colour. External use only.

WHERE IT GOES

Lips. Lids. Cuticles. The bits in between.

One tin. Six common destinations. The friction film handles the rest.

LIPS

BRA LINE

CUTICLES + KNUCKLES

POST-SHAVE

RUNNER'S NIPPLE

EXTERNAL INTIMATE SKIN

ONE INGREDIENT. EIGHTEEN.

WHAT THEY SAID

From people who don't write reviews.

“I've spent ten years buying lip balm every two weeks. I've had this tin for three months and I still can't see the bottom.”

M. — Melbourne. Bought for lips. Now uses on cuticles, post-shave, and the spot on her nose that always cracks in winter.

“My GP suggested Vaseline. I tried this instead. I'm not a balm person. I'm a balm person now.”

K. — Sydney. Postpartum. External use only. Kept the tin on the bedside table for nine months.

“It's the only balm I've used that doesn't make me reach for it again two hours later. So I forget I'm wearing it. Which I think is the point.”

J. — Adelaide. Long-distance runner. Uses on race day, training day, and the days in between.

STILL READING

The questions everyone asks.

Yes. The formula was built for it. Manuka chemotype-locked, lactic acid encapsulated, sea buckthorn refined, zero fragrance, sensation-gated 0/10 every batch. External use only. Patch test recommended on sensitive or compromised skin.

No. Lips & Bits is a balm — it stays on the surface, builds a friction film, and supports tissue. It is not for internal use, and it is not condom-compatible. The oils that make it cling for hours are the same oils that degrade latex.

Three months at daily use. Anhydrous formulas don't grow microbes the way water-based products do. 12 months unopened, 6 months once you've broken the seal.

No. By design. Every batch is sensation-gated 0/10 on inner arm and lips. If a tin stings or tingles, that's a fault — not a feature. Send it back.

Yes. Lips, lids, cuticles, brows, dry patches. For full daily face moisture, the Everywhere Balm absorbs faster. Lips & Bits is for surfaces that need protection, not absorption.

Beeswax is the only animal-derived ingredient. Edible-grade, ethically sourced. The rest of the formula is plant-derived. We're working on a beeswax-free version for the next round.

One tin. Three months.
