Spearmint Lip Balm

Our Spearmint Lip Balm is the gentler sibling to Peppermint. While it has the same fresh minty character, Spearmint is milder and sweeter. Refreshing without the sharp, cooling bite.

Suits: Suitable for all skin types.

Formulator's note: I often find Peppermint a little strong –  even chewing Peppermint gum makes me sneeze! So, I included Spearmint for those that like the freshness of mint but a milder fragrance.  This lip balm is one of the mildest in the range in terms of fragrance strength. That’s because there is significantly less of the essential oil in this product compared to the others in the range. Spearmint contains carvone, a naturally occurring compound that is heavily regulated by the cosmetics industry.

What is a lip balm? A concentrated, water-free balm made from plant butter, oil and wax that seals in moisture and protects the lips, rather than a liquid or gloss in a tube.

Did you know: Spearmint gets its name from the pointed shape of its leaves and contains far less menthol than Peppermint. This is why it feels milder on the lips.

A gentle note on care: For external use only. Avoid direct eye contact and application to the mucous membranes or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Not suitable for children under the age of 3.

While Sugarbush balms have been carefully formulated to be heat stable, keep yours somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight — it’s mostly butter and oils. If it starts to soften in the hotter months, a short spell in the fridge will firm it back up. The blog has more info on managing anhydrous cosmetics in the heat.

For the best scent and texture, use within 6 months of opening.
