Vegan, Cruelty-Free and Small batch! These are comparable to a butter balm. They combine our iconic glossy and hydrating gloss base with shea butter murumuru butter and vitamin E oil for a more buttery melt-on-the-lips feel! Murumuru butter provides deep hydration and moisture to the lips to aid in the natural healing process of dry and chapped lips to help bring them back to their natural softness and elasticity. Shea butter provide s moisture by helping to create a protective barrier against environmental hazards and nourishes the skin with vitamins and fatty acids. Vitamin E, as it is in all of our traditional glosses, helps aid the lips in natural cell regeneration and turnover. Because these are a crossover between a balm and a gloss, they leave more of a sheer finish. Think between a high shine like a traditional gloss and a matte finish like a traditional "chapstick"/lip balm.
