Most lip balms on the market simply don’t cut it, especially natural ones. From gritty, loose formulas to ones that only last an hour, we knew there had to be a way to deliver long lasting moisture to your lips without coating them in petroleum-based ingredients.
We don’t hate petroleum jelly and acknowledge it has a place, the place is just not here at Hudson Valley Skin Care. Petroleum jelly may feel rich and hydrating, but it’s a byproduct of crude oil—a fossil fuel derivative, which we try to avoid at all costs. While it forms a physical barrier, it doesn’t nourish the skin underneath. Instead, it traps whatever moisture is already there (which may not be much). We knew we could create a lip balm that lasts as long, both on your lips and in the jar, with more skin benefits, without drilling into our beautiful earth. A lip balm that will last you an entire year.
So, we got in the lab. It started on a Sunday stroll through the Catskills when I stumbled upon a farm stand on the side of the road selling the most beautiful, golden bricks of Beeswax. I picked them up and brought them straight to our workspace Monday morning. We started to melt it down and blend it with Cold-pressed Sunflower Oil from the farm down the road and rich, creamy Avocado Butter. We landed on a formula we loved and started giving it out to people. Once we started getting feedback, we knew we had something special. We might have made the best natural lip balm on the market. 100% natural, long-lasting, light shine, deep moisture. It was everything we ever wanted.
We chose to use Beeswax as the base of this formula because it is a renewable, skin-safe ingredient that’s been used for centuries to soothe and protect. It forms a breathable barrier that locks in moisture without clogging or suffocating the skin. Rich in Vitamin A to support skin renewal and healing with moisturizing and conditioning emollient properties. We didn’t stop at beeswax. Each balm is loaded with plant-based oils and vitamins that go beyond surface-level hydration. Sunflower Seed Oil is rich in linoleic acid and antioxidants, this oil supports skin barrier function and soothes inflammation—perfect for chapped lips. Avocado Butter is deeply hydrating and packed with fatty acids, helping to smooth, plump, and nourish the delicate skin on your lips.
This power blend is what makes our lip balm long-lasting, protective, and genuinely nourishing, even hours after application.
Our all-natural lip balms are made to heal, not just mask dryness. No petroleum. No synthetic fillers. Just beeswax, plant oils, and skin-supporting vitamins that leave your lips feeling soft, hydrated, and protected long after you apply.
It’s time to break up with your old balm. Your lips deserve better—and we’ve got you covered.
