About the Ingredients

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has been used for many years to support skin health. It is a natural source of antioxidants and healthy fats that nourish your skin. It is also naturally antimicrobial, so it helps the skin maintain its microbiome.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter smells delicious and is deeply nourishing. It is great for even the most sensitive skin, making it the perfect ingredient for a lip salve that the whole family can use.

It is high in fatty acids and vitamins E and A. This leaves your lips not only hydrated but also allows it to absorb more nutrients for self-repair.
