Almost 200 million plastic lip balm tubes are binned every year and the vast majority are never recycled. So, we think lips need a shake-up.

We've created a range dedicated to doing good; for the planet, for people and of course, for your lips.

Do good for your lips – With a hint of peppermint, Sugarplum is our tinted lip balm designed to nourish and hydrate your lips with cocoa butter alongside castor seed, moringa and jojoba oils. These heavy-moisture-hitters lock in hydration and leave your lips silky smooth, for longer. On application of our lip balms, 94% of testers found an immediate improvement in the appearance of dry lips! Sugarplum is so good, you'll never lose the tube.

Do good for the planet – plastic-free, home compostable packaging (yes, the tube!).

Do good for people - Carefully crafted with luxurious fairly traded sustainable ingredients from Rwanda, Ghana and Samoa to help support farming cooperatives (predominantly women owned) in these regions. Direct trade ensures that local growers receive stable prices and, reliable income which means in turn they are better able to look after their community and their environment.

Push (not twist) up base of tube (just a little!). Gently press onto lips, allowing it to warm for a few seconds. Then glide across lips for soft, smooth nourishment.

Pushed up too much? Give the base a light tap on a flat surface or the palm of your hand and the product will lower back into the tube.

Store at room temperature. Keep dry, away from moisture, and out of direct sunlight.

If stored somewhere cold, we recommend holding it to skin for a few seconds to warm it up so it glides on easily with application.

not moisturizing

I had to use my regular lip balm along with this which defeats the purpose. I use lip balm often. Don't know if it's Sugarplum that does not moisturize & if the other lip balms are the same, but I won't buy lip balms again.

Hi Denise,

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback on our Lip Balm, although I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with this one! This doesn't sound like the Sugarplum we know and love!

So that we can look into this further, can you please email us at hello@ethique.com with a photo of the batch number (printed in black on the tube)?

As a part of our product guarantee, I'd love to send you out a replacement lip balm, if you're interested in this please let us know in the email and include your delivery details 😊

Love!

Great color, safe ingredients, thoughtful packaging. One application stays put most of the day. More colors please! It’s so hard finding lip tint without oxides. Finally!

Gorgeous but so, so drying after a bit

I love the color of this - it's so beautiful and as soon as I use up my Sugarplum balm I'm about to trek to Lush or somewhere and try to find a shade match, because I love it that much. Unfortunately, the formula of this just isn't amazing and I find it so drying, especially after half an hour I feel like if there was any moisture in my lips it gets sucked out. I got it as a Christmas present and wanted to love it so badly, but this just isn't it. Ethique does amazing other products, I just won't be buying this one again.
