Shea ButterShea Butter
Butyrospermum parkii
A famed superfood for the skin derived from the African shea tree, shea butter is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. Known as an effective moisturiser and skin smoother, its concentration of cinnamic acid delivers powerful anti-inflammatory action, salving and soothing the skin, nourishing it to prevent dryness, strengthening it from within, and even protecting against the harsh rays of the sun.
Mango Butter
Mangifera indica
Firm-textured with surprisingly little aroma, mango butter is an emollient that’s perfect for softening, smoothing, moisturising and protecting all skin types. Fittingly, coming from trees that can reach over 300 years old, the butter is effective at fighting signs of ageing, as well as clearing blemishes and relieving itching and irritation. Just as fittingly, coming from the tropics, it also provides an excellent screen against UV.
Coconut Butter
Cocos nucifera oil and Hydrogenated vegetable oil
The benefits of coconut oil bound within a butter, this ingredient is, very simply, an amazing moisturiser, reducing dryness and hydrating skin without upsetting the body’s natural balance. Adding a soft, velvety texture to any treatment, it gently melts into the skin, nourishing, smoothing and protecting it – even from the harsh rays of the sun.
Candelilla Wax
Euphoribia cerifera wax
A wax taken from a desert shrub native to Mexico and the US – the name means ‘little candle’ – this is an odourless, vegan-friendly substitute for beeswax. Rich in nutrients and quickly absorbed into hair and skin, it forms a barrier to lock in moisture, while acting as a natural astringent, emulsifier, stabiliser and conditioner.
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil
Renowned for its practically endless uses, tea tree oil is a powerful remedy indigenous to Australia, that penetrates the skin and unblocks sebaceous glands. Long known to fight acne and irritation, it’s an active ingredient in many products that dry out blemishes and disinfect pores, all while removing dead skin cells, soothing itching and clarifying skin through its proven antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory qualities.
Vitamin E
Tocopherol
E is for elasticity. Specifically, vitamin E strengthens capillary walls while improving moisture, giving skin a healthy, youthful appearance. It also reduces inflammation, complete with antioxidants that protect from signs of ageing, as well as damage from UV and cigarette smoke. E is also for easy: our plant-based form of vitamin E is simpler for the body to absorb – ideal to help quickly strengthen, restore and nourish skin and hair.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosmarinus officinalis
Approved by the German Commission E scientific advisory board, rosemary oil is a hugely beneficial ingredient both for the skin and beneath it. As well as toning and moisturising, it promotes circulation and flushes out toxins, removes stretch marks and evens the complexion, relieves muscle pain and arthritis – and can even boost mental activity. A popular oil with a world of benefits for healthy bodies.
Myrrh Essential Oil
Commiphora myrrha
A popular scent used for centuries in the healing and protection of wounds, the banishment of blemishes, and the nurturing of clean, moisturised and supple skin, myrrh strengthens and smooths, all while promoting rest and relaxation. Long known to contain antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and many other medically beneficial properties, this desert tree extract is a time-honoured botanical remedy for the whole body.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Boswellia carterii
An anti-ageing treatment throughout the ages, frankincense is a powerful astringent proven to protect the skin’s cells – reducing blemishes, shrinking the appearance of pores, and lifting and tightening skin to smooth wrinkles. Taken from the Somalian Boswellia neglecta tree, frankincense can soothe irritation, calm the mind and nurture a more even, healthy skin tone.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Mentha piperita
The familiar menthol scent of peppermint carries a world of benefits for the skin. Soothing, softening and toning, its anti-inflammatory, hydrating properties can relieve (and even help prevent) sunburn, control oiliness and enliven tired skin. Extracted from a spearmint and watermint hybrid, it delivers benefits beyond the skin too – relieving aches and pains, stresses and strains, leaving you calm, refreshed and revitalised.

After raking my way through the more commonly known lip balms, I was recommend clockface. It really is refreshing to find a balm you can feel working the moment you put it on your lips. The hint of peppermint works wonders for my cracked lips, especially as the weather turns cold. It is definitely something I won’t hestitate to buy again.
The fragrance is perfectly minty and my lips are now very soft. I love it
Say "goodbye" to chapped lips as this lip balm is amazing! Not only does it moisturise and hydrate my normally dry lips, it provides a slightly glossy protective coating to them, leaving them feeling and looking great.
