Got questions? Good.

Here's everything people ask us about our balm, from what's inside to how it gets to your door.

Golden beeswax capping a Base Layer lip balmMade for sensitive skin
What's in Base Layer lip balm?

Seven ingredients: beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin E, carrot seed oil, soybean oil and peppermint oil. You can see what each one does on our home page.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

Yes, we made it with sensitive skin in mind. If you have an allergy to bee products, coconut, soy or any other ingredient on the list, check with your doctor or do a small patch test first.

Is it vegan?

No. Beeswax comes from bees, and it's the base of every tube. It's what makes the balm such a good moisture barrier.

Does the peppermint tingle?

A little! Peppermint oil gives a refreshing, cooling feel and gets circulation going for naturally plump, healthy-looking lips.
