Product details

A slim white tube of Honest Lip Balm on a white stone table between macadamia nuts and a glass dish of golden oil

Plant-oil lip care

A squeeze-tube lip balm with seven plant oils and shea butter for dry, peeling lips.

Part of Benton’s Honest line, this balm is made with natural-derived ingredients to protect tired lips and keep them smooth with lasting moisture. The slim tube means you never dip a finger in, and it skips petrolatum, PEGs, mineral oil, artificial colouring and synthetic perfume.
