More about Sweet Thing Lip Balm
Quick Facts
A Myriad of Uses
★ On-The-Go Stick
Don’t have room for your full-size tallow? Pack a Sweet Thing to
stay moisturized no matter where the backroad takes you. Hydrate and
heal dryness everywhere from under the nose to around the elbows.
★ Eye Balm
Dab a small amount around the eyes to quickly plump,
and hydrate without the mess. Don’t forget lashes and
eyebrows to encourage growth and hold shape.
★ Cuticle Repair
Peeling around the nails is no fun at all. Seal everything up nice and snug with nourishing fatty acids and naturally protective wax. Just rub onto affected areas until things soften up.
★ Glow Up
Use as a natural highlight to always catch the sunshine
wherever you go. Pop some on your cheekbones, tip of the
nose, and collarbone to glisten from within.
Ingredient Insight
★ Grass-fed, Grass-Finished Suet Tallow
Our pride and joy. Tallow was a vital beauty and wellness resource for ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It’s a mostly saturated fat which means it's far more stable on your skin and less likely to oxidize. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, and choline, tallow rebuilds the skin from the outside in. But we don’t use just any beef fat. Grassfed suet is rendered from cattle that graze on wide-open pastures to gain up to 4X more skin-loving vitamins and minerals. It's the cream of the crop.
★ Organic Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil Infused With Organic Grade A Whole Vanilla Pods.
Originally harvested in the wild, wild West centuries ago, Native American tribes would use this golden oil to treat sores and wounds. Its healing antioxidant and antibacterial properties are thanks to its rich vitamin E content. Jojoba is also one of the best at leveling out sebum levels for a non-greasy, balanced complexion. We infused these superpowers with sweet-smelling vanilla pods for even more antioxidant, anti-aging benefits. Vanilla is a good source of antioxidants and B vitamins like niacin, thiamin, Vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid which keep skin healthy and youthful.
★ 100% Pure Cosmetic Grade Beeswax.
Much like honey, beeswax has been used in skincare for millennia. Bees rely on this sticky stuff to build their elaborate hives and prevent deadly infection in the colony. It shelters and heals the skin in a similar fashion. Beeswax is an occlusive humectant, so it draws moisture from the environment and prevents water loss through the moisture barrier so the skin can face the elements without drying out. Natural beeswax is a biologically active ingredient with impressive antioxidant properties that foster skin cells and softer, more nourished skin. It provides just enough hold to our balms without ever feeling too tacky. And just like our honey, we get it straight from the beekeeper’s farm.
★ Organic, Unrefined Raw Cocoa butter
Cocoa butter is the edible, saturated fat that makes up about half the content of dried cocoa beans— it’s what makes chocolate so darn creamy. The smaller molecular structure allows its rich fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, and oleic) deep into the skin to lubricate cells even in the basal layer without the risk of oxidation. It’s one of the youngest ingredients we use as it was only discovered in the 19th century thanks to the invention of the cocoa press. But cacao trees have long symbolized abundance and nobility to ancient Mayan and Aztec tribes in South America where they are indigenous.
