Unapologetic Lip Care

Skip Lipstick. Keep the Apricot — Inside Our Lip Brightening Tallow Balm

Unapologetic truth: you don’t need lipstick to look finished. You need comfort, a clean hint of color, and a texture you’ll actually wear every day. That’s why we built a tallow-led, 100% anhydrous balm that melts on contact, cushions dryness, and leaves a sheer apricot-nude glow—no FD&C dyes, no menthol sting, no sticky gloss.

Grass-Fed Tallow Cushion Mineral Tint (Apricot-Nude) Smooth, Even-Looking Tone Zero Menthol / Zero Burn

Why tallow on lips?

Tallow’s fatty-acid profile (think stearic/oleic) echoes what skin already recognizes, so it lays down evenly and comfortably. With beeswax for structure and a blend of castor, squalane, and marula for glide, you get cashmere cushion without the gummy feel—or the constant need to reapply.

Feel first, perfume later: just a whisper of sweet orange—clean, uplifting, never a fragrance cloud.

Color you control: mineral apricot, not dye

We use iron oxides for a soft apricot-peach tone that looks like your lips—just warmer and more alive. One swipe is a whisper. Two to three passes build a polished peach-nude that reads luxe on camera.

1 swipe — Sheer
2 swipes — Blush
3 swipes — Peach-Nude

Inside the formula (the highlights)

Plush-Lipid Base

Tallow + Beeswax blanket lips in lasting comfort with zero waxy drag.

Mineral Apricot Tint

Iron oxides create a clean, buildable hue—never painted, never loud.

Tone-Evening Look

Kojic dipalmitate (oil-soluble) supports a more even-looking tone with steady use.

Satin-Cushion Finish

Castor, squalane, marula give silk glide and a soft sheen—no plumper sting.

How to wear it

  1. Warm the surface with your fingertip or a clean lip brush.
  2. Swipe once for sheer; add passes for a soft peach-nude pop.
  3. Overnight mask: smooth on a thicker layer before bed.

Pair it: Press (don’t rub) LUXE Face Cream for face glow, then add apricot lips for the finished look.

Who it’s for

  • Dry, easily-chapped lips that want cushion without waxy drag.
  • Anyone who wants color without menthol or “plumper” sting.
  • Minimalists who prefer care + color in one step.

FAQs

Does it smell strong? No—just a trace of sweet orange. Clean and light.

Will it tingle or burn? No menthol, no plumping agents. Comfort first.

Will the tint vary? Mineral pigments can shift slightly batch to batch. Start sheer and layer.

Transfer? A little—like any oil/wax balm. Blot once for less transfer.
