Rosebud Tinted Lip Balm was born from my love of gentle, simple beauty — and from a desire for a natural lip color that felt more like skincare than makeup.
I wanted something subtle, something that would bring a little life to my lips without feeling heavy, sticky, or artificial. No lipstick, no overpowering pigment — just a soft hint of color and a whole lot of nourishment underneath.
Built on the same deeply hydrating base as my Rosebud Tallow Balm, this lip balm adds a touch of natural tint using carefully chosen plant infusions: Alkanet Root and Cabernet Sauvignon Grape Skins and Seeds.
There’s no strong flavor or scent — just pure ingredients working quietly to support healthy lips while adding a hint of soft color.
I also made a conscious decision to avoid traditional “natural” colorants like mica powders. While beautiful, some sources of mica have raised ecological and ethical concerns — including environmental impacts and modern slavery issues in parts of the world. Staying true to the spirit of simple, honest ingredients, I chose plant infusions instead to honor both your skin and the earth.
The infusion of rosehips and rosebuds brings gentle antioxidant support, while Manuka honey offers its natural skin-conditioning benefits.
It’s perfect for days when your lips feel a little pale, dry, or just need a bit of extra brightness without the fuss of traditional cosmetics.
A quick note:
This balm is lightly tinted through natural plant infusion, so individual results may vary slightly depending on your natural lip tone. It goes on sheer and enhances your natural color, not covers it.
