For lips that are always dry
If you reach for lip balm all day, your balm may be part of the problem. Many are mostly petroleum and wax: they sit on top, wear off, and your lips are dry again an hour later.
Tallow is a fat your skin already knows, and beeswax seals it in. Your lips feel soft, not coated.

- In the morningSofter, smoother lips
- Every daySoft for hours at a time
★★★★★Love this so much!!! My lips are always so dry. Total game changer!

When winter cracks your lips
Cold wind outside and dry heat inside pull moisture from your lips faster than they can keep it. That's when they crack, sting and split.
Keep a tin in your coat pocket. It's firm, so it travels well, and a thin layer goes on in seconds.
- First useCool, soothing peppermint on sore lips
- All winterOne in your pocket, on whenever you need it
- By springA winter without cracked lips, customers say
★★★★★I live in a very cold part of New York and the peppermint balm has prevented the cracking that I generally experience in winter.

★★★★★My husband and I had tried everything this winter for our chapped lips, but this is the only thing that helped!

If your balm leaves your lips drier
Some balms feel good for a minute, then your lips feel tight and start to peel, so you put on more. Customers who switched say this one doesn't do that.
No petroleum, no flavorings, no synthetic fragrance. Three ingredients, and each one has a job.
- First swipeSmooth, not waxy or pasty
- First weeksNo peeling, no dry rebound
- After thatYour old balm stays in the drawer
★★★★★Way better than chapstick, which dries lips out even more.
Donna R.
★★★★★I love this balm as it doesn't dry out my lips like other lip balms do!!

Tired of reapplying all day?
Thin, glossy balms wear off fast, so the tube never leaves your hand.
This one is firm and rich, so a thin layer stays put. Many customers say their lips stay soft for hours, and some need it only once a day. Very cold or dry air may need a little more.
- Put it onA fingertip warms it, a thin layer is enough
- Hours laterLips still soft
- Next daySome customers need it only once a day
★★★★★It has a creamy texture that keeps my lips hydrated for hours.

★★★★★It goes on smooth and easy, keeps my lips soft and moisturised for ages.

Why it works
Why your lip balm stopped working
Your lips have almost no oil glands of their own, so they can't keep themselves soft. Wind, cold, dry heat and licking them all dry them out.
Many lip balms are mostly petroleum, wax and flavor. They coat your lips for a while but give them nothing, so you keep putting on more. Some even leave them drier.
This one is different. Organic grass-fed tallow is a fat that's a close match to your skin's own oils, so your lips take it in. Organic beeswax seals it in. A touch of peppermint makes it feel cool and fresh.
Three ingredients. That's it.
Organic grass-fed tallow
From grass-fed cattle. A close match to your skin's own oils, so it softens instead of coating.
Organic beeswax
Seals the moisture in, so your lips stay soft through wind and cold.
Peppermint oil
A cool, fresh feel. Subtle, not a burn.
No petroleum, parabens, synthetic fragrance, flavorings or dyes.

Questions, answered
Why is it firm in the tin?
Because it's only tallow and beeswax, with no added oils or water. Rub your fingertip across it for a few seconds and it softens. It gets firmer in the cold, so warm the tin in your hand or pocket first.
Is it a tube or a tin?
A small round metal tin with a screw lid, 15 ml (0.5 oz). You put it on with a fingertip. It fits in a coat pocket, a purse or the car.
Will the peppermint burn?
No. It's a subtle, cool peppermint, and customers call it a hint of mint. A few people with very sensitive lips feel a light tingle.
Does it smell or taste like beef?
No. Customers say there's no funny taste or smell, just a light, fresh peppermint.
How often do I put it on?
Whenever your lips feel dry. Many customers say a thin layer keeps their lips soft for hours, and some need it only once a day. In very cold or dry air you may need it more often.
How long does a tin last?
A little goes a long way, because you only need a thin layer. One customer melted a single tin and filled almost three lip balm tubes.
Why get the 3 pack?
It costs less per tin. Most people keep one at home, one at work and one in their bag, or give the extras as gifts.
Will it melt in my pocket?
It's firm, so it travels well in a pocket or bag. Like any balm, it softens in a hot car, so keep it out of the sun.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email info@basedsupplies.com within 30 days and we'll refund you in full.
