Among our most popular products, Wild Rose Lip Balms and Lip Tints feature the highest quality organic, herb, fruit and flower extracts. We source our herbs with incredible care, and prioritize local sources. We also follow ethnobotany and living medical systems - like Western Herbal Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda - and pair this traditional knowledge with contemporary research and modern evidence-based phytotherapy, also known as medical herbalism.
For example, let’s take Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) used in SO many of our topical formulas, including many lip balms. A 2021 article in the peer-reviewed journal, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicines, evaluated a lot of research assessing Gotu Kola and concluded that it may provide support in skin ailments from acne, wounds and burns, to the most common inflammatory skin disorders (1)*. We use it as it is amazing at naturally protecting your lips from all that life throws at them! Here are some of our best selling lip balms that contain this traditional powerhouse: Basil Mint, Elderberry, and Jasmine Tea.
