A vegan and natural stick, this soft blend of butters, humectants, and oils feels decadent—but is effortless enough for daily use. The super botanical moringa seed oil feeds your skin antioxidants and fatty acids for daily free radical protection and barrier support—it’s a powerhouse plant that’s been shown to have incredible skin health properties. Shea and cocoa butter offer plump hydration, instantly softening chapped and flaky skin. The base is a vegan sunflower seed wax that creates a not-too-glossy, yet never dull sheen. Always hydrating, never sticky.

This balm melts into the most silky, smooth product. The hydrating heroes are the sugar-cane derived squalane, rose absolute, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. And the slight plumping effect that makes lips oh-so-desirable? That comes from the Wakame algae. Also, don’t let the rose scare you—this balm is fragrance free as well.

And for extra measure, it’s earned the National Eczema Association seal of approval.
