I made the lip balm I wish I could find. I couldn't find a nourishing lip balm that actually worked for me. Most felt good for a minute… then I was reapplying again. So I studied how lip balms are built — what supports moisture, what reduces moisture loss, and why some formulas disappear so fast. Then I made my own. Dread Love Nourishing Lip Balm is a long lasting, moisturizing lip balm built for balance and staying power — without feeling greasy, heavy, or waxy. It's structured to support moisture and help keep it there, not just coat the surface. It absorbs cleanly. It just feels right. And you're not reaching for it every 20 minutes. Most nights, I apply it once before bed and wake up with my lips still feeling smooth the next day. During the day, I'm not constantly reapplying. If you're tired of the reapply cycle, this is built differently. A little goes a long way. Handmade in Canada, in small batches. 100% vegan. Loctician-formulated. SMALL BATCH CRAFTED 100% VEGAN LONG LASTING NON GREASY Made for sun, salt, wind — and everything in between. Always with you. Even when everything else is off. Two Flavours, Made Properly Summertime — Creamsicle — Bright, sweet, and nostalgic. Like a creamsicle on a hot day, but for your lips. Campfire — Toasted Marshmallow — Warm, cozy, and subtly sweet. The kind of flavour that feels like the end of a good night. Both are 100% vegan. No beeswax. No animal-derived ingredients of any kind. Made in small batches in Canada.

Most lip balms worked briefly, then I was reapplying again. So I studied formulation and built one that met my standards — the same standards I apply to every Dread Love product. What makes Dread Love Nourishing Lip Balm different? This long lasting vegan lip balm combines ingredients that support moisture with ingredients that help reduce moisture loss by forming a protective barrier. It's built for balance — not quick fade. And it's handmade in Canada in small batches, so every batch gets proper attention. Is this a long lasting lip balm? In my experience, yes. I apply it once before bed and wake up with my lips still feeling smooth. During the day, I don't constantly reapply. Is it greasy? No. It absorbs cleanly instead of sitting heavily on top. It feels smooth, balanced, and comfortable — not greasy or waxy. Is it vegan? Yes — 100% vegan. No beeswax, no animal-derived ingredients of any kind. Both flavours, both formats. Is it Canadian made? Yes — handmade in Canada in small batches. Same as everything else in the Dread Love line. What flavours are available? Summertime is a Creamsicle flavour — bright, sweet, and nostalgic. Campfire is Toasted Marshmallow — warm, cozy, and subtly sweet. Both are available in a metal tin or twist-up tube. What's the difference between the tin and the tube? The tin (4.5g) is applied with your fingertip and has a solid, premium feel. The tube (4.7g) is a twist-up applicator — no fingers in the balm, easy to use on the go, and more hygienic for everyday carry. Does it tingle? No strong tingling agents. This balm is built around structure and comfort, not sensation. Who is this lip balm for? It's for anyone who wants a lip balm that works. Not grease. Not gimmicks. Not snake oil. Just a long lasting, nourishing vegan lip balm — handmade in Canada — that does what it says. How do I know? Because I made it. Summertime — Creamsicle. In the new twist-up tube.
