FAQ

WHY DID YOU CREATE BALMSTIX?

BALMSTIX WAS CREATED BECAUSE AFTER SCOURING THE MARKET FOR A LIP BALM WITHOUT PORE CLOGGING INGREDIENTS THAT CAUSE ACNE, WE COULDN'T FIND ONE. THESE INGREDIENTS INCLUDE SHEA BUTTER, COCONUT OIL, COCOA BUTTER, AVOCADO OIL, CASTOR OIL, ARGON OIL, AND JOJOBA OIL. IT'S CRAZY! SO WE SET OUT TO CREATE OUR OWN.

 

WHY ONLY 6 INGREDIENTS?

WE WANT OUR LIP BALM TO BE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE WITH MINIMAL INGREDIENTS. WE TESTED FOR OVER A YEAR TO LEARN WHAT WORKED BEST AND ELIMINATED ANY INGREDIENTS THAT WEREN'T NECESSARY.

 

WHAT MAKES BALMSTIX DIFFERENT THAN OTHER LIP BALMS?

ASIDE FROM BEING ACNE SAFE, OUR INGREDIENTS HAVE BEEN RIGOROUSLY TESTED TO EFFECTIVELY DRAW IN AND SEAL MOISTURE WHILE ALSO PROVIDING HEALING ABILITIES TO PREVENT DRY AND CRACKED LIPS. 

AN EFFECTIVE LIP BALM NEEDS THREE COMPONENTS: A HUMECTANT (CALENDULA) TO DRAW IN MOISTURE, AN EMOLLIENT (SUNFLOWER OIL) TO HYDRATE AND SOFTEN, AND AN OCCLUSIVE (BEESWAX) TO SEAL IN THE MOISTURE.

IF YOU USE A LIP BALM THAT ONLY HAS A HUMECTANT AND NOT AN OCCLUSIVE, IT WILL LEAD TO DRY LIPS AND THAT FEELING OF YOUR LIPS BEING "ADDICTED," NEEDING TO REAPPLY FREQUENTLY.

 

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF BALMSTIX?

DUE TO THE ORGANIC NATURE OF THE PRODUCT AND THAT THERE ARE NO PRESERVATIVES, WE RECOMMEND USING YOUR BALMSTIX WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF DELIVERY. IT IS STILL SAFE TO USE AFTER THIS TIME PERIOD, BUT YOU WILL NOTICE THE SCENT BEGIN TO FADE.

 

DO YOU PLAN TO COME OUT WITH ADDITIONAL SCENTS?

YES! WE HAVE A SUMMER EDITION THAT WILL LAUNCH SOON. EVENTUALLY WE WILL ALSO OFFER A SPF VERSION.

 

WOULD YOU EVER CREATE A TINTED LIP BALM?

YES! WE DO PLAN TO CREATE THIS DOWN THE ROAD.
