Your lips deserve real nutrition — not a petroleum seal.

Botanical
by nature.

Cacao butter (Theobroma cacao seed butter) is extracted by cold-pressing cacao seeds — the same seeds that give us chocolate. It is one of the most stable natural fats on earth, rich in polyphenols, phytosterols, and a unique fatty acid profile that does something petroleum simply cannot: it penetrates the skin's lipid layer and actively nourishes from within.

While petroleum-based products sit on the surface as a temporary seal, cacao butter integrates with your skin's biology.

50%
Oleic & Stearic Acid The primary fatty acids rebuild the skin's lipid barrier, lock in moisture structurally, and keep lips supple without heaviness.
More Antioxidants than Shea Polyphenols and flavonoids in cacao butter neutralise free radicals that cause lip ageing, chapping, and pigmentation.
100%
Botanically Derived Every molecule has a plant origin. No petroleum by-products, no synthetic occlusive agents, no fossil-fuel processing.

What you're
actually putting
on your lips.

Most lip balms and lipsticks are built on petrolatum or mineral oil — both refined petroleum derivatives. They feel like moisture, but they provide none. Here is what the science actually says.

Cacao Butter
Petroleum / Vaseline
Penetrates the skin's lipid layer — active nourishment
Sits on the surface only — occlusive but not nutritive
Rich in oleic, stearic & palmitic fatty acids
Contains no fatty acids — zero skin nutrition
Polyphenols & flavonoids actively protect against free radicals
No antioxidants — zero protective activity
Natural phytosterols reduce inflammation and support healing
No anti-inflammatory compounds
Derived from cacao seeds — renewable, biodegradable
Derived from crude oil refining — non-renewable
Mild, natural cacao aroma — no synthetic fragrance needed
Odourless only after heavy industrial processing

From cacao
tree to lips.

Every step of the cacao butter journey is traceable, intentional, and entirely free from industrial shortcuts. From harvest to lipstick — nothing is hidden.

01

Harvest

Cacao pods are harvested by hand from Theobroma cacao trees grown in Colombia's fertile lowlands. Each pod contains 20–50 seeds.

02

Ferment & Dry

Seeds are naturally fermented for 5–7 days — developing aroma and bioavailability of nutrients — then sun-dried to reduce moisture.

03

Cold-Pressed

Seeds are pressed at low temperature to extract pure cacao butter. No solvents. No refining. Every fatty acid and polyphenol preserved intact.

04

Blended & Set

Cacao butter is blended with our clean colour formula and set into the lipstick format — nothing else added.

What it does
for your lips.

Deep Nourishment

Fatty acids penetrate the lip's thin skin and rebuild the lipid barrier from within — not just a surface coat.

Long-Lasting Moisture

Stearic acid forms a breathable moisture seal that lasts hours without reapplication. No petroleum needed.

Antioxidant Protection

Polyphenols protect against UV-induced oxidation and environmental stress that causes lips to thin and darken over time.

Anti-Inflammatory

Theobromine and natural plant sterols reduce redness, irritation, and chapping — especially in dry or cold climates.

Natural Colour

Cacao butter carries clean natural pigment beautifully, with no need for synthetic dye binders or petroleum carriers.

Zero Toxins

No petrolatum, no mineral oil, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance. What you put on your lips, you absorb — it matters.

Lips that
truly flourish.
