Frequently Asked Questions About Vanilla Bean Lip Balm Is this lip balm vegan? Our Vanilla Bean Lip Balm is not vegan, as it contains local beeswax from Massachusetts. However, it is 100% natural and plant-based aside from the beeswax, featuring certified organic and fair trade olive oil, vanilla beans, and cocoa butter. We prioritize ethical sourcing for all ingredients. Is the vanilla scent strong or artificial? The scent is a natural, authentic vanilla bean aroma derived solely from certified organic vanilla beans—we use no synthetic fragrances. It is subtle and not overpowering, providing a pure, clean vanilla experience from a single, high-quality ingredient. My lip balm arrived soft/melted. What should I do? Due to natural ingredients like cocoa butter, the balm can soften in transit. Simply place it in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to solidify—this does not affect its moisturizing efficacy. If your product is significantly damaged, please contact our support team for assistance. Why is the price higher than typical drugstore lip balms? The price reflects our commitment to premium, certified organic and fair trade ingredients, local beeswax, and a fully compostable, reusable tube. As a handmade product with a simple, 100% natural formulation, it represents a conscious, value-driven choice for quality skincare. Is this safe for children or if accidentally ingested? The balm is made with 100% natural, food-grade ingredients: organic olive oil, vanilla, cocoa butter, and beeswax. While generally safe, we recommend parental supervision for young children. If a significant amount is ingested, consult a doctor, though the ingredients are wholesome and non-toxic. How do I dispose of or compost the tube? The push-up tube is compostable in industrial composting facilities. If that's not available, you can reuse the packaging, as it's designed to be durable. For home composting, check your local facility's capabilities, as breakdown times may vary. What does "purveyed certified organic" mean for the ingredients? "Purveyed" means we've carefully sourced and provided these ingredients. The olive oil, vanilla beans, and cocoa butter are certified organic by recognized bodies, ensuring strict growing standards. The local beeswax is naturally sourced but may not hold a formal organic certification. How long will one tube last with daily use? One 1/3oz (10g) tube typically lasts several weeks to a few months with daily use, depending on application. For maximum longevity, apply a thin, even layer. Individual usage habits will vary, but the creamy texture is efficient and highly moisturizing.
