Drum roll please, there’s a new range in town… Ethique lip balms! Almost 200 million plastic lip balm tubes are binned every year and the vast majority are never recycled. So, we think lips need a shake-up.

Ethique have created a range dedicated to doing good; for the planet, for people and of course, for your lips.

Do good for your lips – Nectar is Ethique’s unscented balm designed to nourish and hydrate your lips with castor seed, moringa and jojoba oils. These heavy-moisture-hitters lock in hydration and are packed full of fatty acids and vitamin e. Fairtrade cocoa butter locks it all in and leaves you with silky smooth lips. On application of our lip balms, 94% of testers found an immediate improvement in the appearance of dry lips! Nectar is so good, you’ll never forget which jacket pocket you left it in.

Do good for the planet – 100% plastic-free, home compostable packaging (yes, the tube!).

Do good for people – Carefully crafted with luxurious fairly traded sustainable ingredients from Rwanda, Ghana and Samoa to help support farming cooperatives (predominantly women-owned) in these regions. Direct trade ensures that local growers receive stable prices and, reliable income which means in turn they are better able to look after their community and their environment.

Ethique Lip Balm FAQ’s

Do you twist for more product? – No, no plastic twisty bottoms here. All you need to do is firmly push the bottom of the lip balm up. If you’re in a cooler environment, the product can be a bit tight for your very first use. Blast the outsides of the tube for a few seconds with a hairdryer, or warm it between your hands. Push up slowly and push up only what you need.
What’s the best way to push it back down again? – Gently! Tap it on the table, push gently with the box or fingers held flat.
What’s the coating made out of? – Unlike some other cardboard tubes lined with plastic to stop the product from being absorbed into the board, we’ve used a very common plant wax – the same as what coats some sweets and chocolates. 100% biodegradable and naturally occurring.
How long will each tube last? – Our lip balms are well over double the size of typical lip balms so will last twice as long!
Are these home compostable? – Yep! Both the tube and the box are home-compostable. Once you’re done, simply pop it in your garden to break down and nourish the earth. Ripping it up will make the process quicker.
Are these cruelty-free and vegan? – Absolutely – all Ethique products are certified vegan and cruelty-free.

Directions:

Push up less than you think you’ll need
Swipe onto your lips and pucker up
It’s compostable! When you’ve finished, pop the tube and box into your compost or your garden to break down.

Ethique’s dedication to sustainable beauty practices has prevented the manufacture and disposal of more than 150,000 plastic containers worldwide, and is driven by the hashtag #giveupthebottle. Our customers tell us the same thing again and again. You rave about how well our products work, far surpassing the quality of salon brands. Brianne explains that the reason for this is because the bars are super concentrated and made with potent natural ingredients. Our bars contain no nasties, they are cruelty free and vegan. Solid bars last between three to six times longer (depending on the product) than bottled products because they’re super-concentrated. You add the water not us, and yes our solid beauty bars foam. We use biodegradable ingredients and wrappers so our solid bars leave no trace on the planet. You can pop the compostable wrapping in your compost bin. No bottles, jars, lids or pump dispensers contributing to landfill or oceanic pollution. We are certified climate neutral, cruelty free and a living wage employer. Ethique is a certified BCorp- “B Corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk.” Ethique was recognised as New Zealand’s most sustainable business when awarded 'the Best in B' award for New Zealand in July 2015. We have committed to donating 2% of revenue (or 20% of profit, whichever is highest) to charity. All of Ethique’s products are New Zealand-made and manufactured in Christchurch. We try to work directly with producers to ensure they are paid a fair price for their product, which in turn ensures they look after their community and their environment.
