If you’re looking for a winter all-rounder, this one’s your go-to. The combination of coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, and beeswax creates a rich, cushiony layer that keeps your lips soft even on harsh, windy days. The naturally occurring vitamin E and polyphenols safeguard your lips from UV exposure, something most people forget about in winter. And the warm hint of vanilla makes it equal parts comforting and luxurious.

It’s packed with fatty acids, squalene, and antioxidants that repair damaged lips and smooth out fine lines. Perfect if your lips crack easily in winter, or if you want a rich, velvety balm with a chocolate aroma. Also completely vegan and zero-waste.
3. ‘Hemp’ily Ever After Lip Balm
If your lips tend to get irritated or inflamed in winter, this soothing blend of hemp seed oil, mango butter, coconut oil, and lavender & tea tree oils is a gentle rescue. Hemp seed oil reinforces the moisture barrier, while mango butter hydrates without feeling heavy. The essential oils not only smell calming, they also help reduce inflammation and discomfort. Great for sensitive or easily irritated lips, for people who prefer herbal, calming scents, and for those seeking a vegan, zero-waste option.
So go ahead! Pick your winter sidekick, slide it in your pocket, and let the chapping season try you.
