our ingredient promise

Hydrated lips without the icks

✔ No Petroleum-Derived Ingredients

Why we formulate without: Many synthetic ingredients found in skincare are petroleum-based. As a fossil fuel, its combustion contributes to polluting emissions (especially carbon dioxide, one of the most dangerous of greenhouse gases). Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. 🌎💛

A step further: Beamie's tubes are also plastic-free (petroleum-free), tackling the environmental impact inside & out.

Ingredients to watch for in other products: Always do research on ingredients that sound like they come from a lab or you don't recognize (e.g. ingredients with the word "poly-" or "butyl-").

✔ No Artificial Colours or Dyes

Where it comes from: Most colour additives are synthetically produced from coal tar or petroleum.

Why we formulate without: When artificial colours or dyes are absorbed into your skin, it can lead to irritation, blocked pores, and inflammation. 👩💛

Ingredients to watch for in other products: Colour additives like "Red [#] Lake"

✔ No Artificial or Synthetic Fragrances

Where it comes from: Most fragrances are produced with synthetic chemicals.

Why we formulate without: There are health concerns linked to fragrances, making them often classified as allergens, hormone disruptors, asthma triggers and carcinogens. 👩💛

Ingredients to watch for in other products: Ingredients titled "parfum" or "fragrance"

Beamie Balm uses only natural flavour oils and/or essential oils that are clean & safe for your lips.

✔ Vegan & Cruelty-Free

Why we formulate without: Simply put, we love animals & know quality skincare is possible without their byproducts. Much of beeswax found in skincare is derived from factory-farmed hives, where the bees are exploited and killed in the process. 🐝🐑💛

Ingredients to watch for in other products: "Cera Alba (Beeswax)", "Lanolin" (Sheep-derived), Collagen, Gelatin

A note from our founder

Did anyone else collect lip balm as a kid? 🙋‍♀️ I sure did – it was like candy to me! I loved it, but as I "grew up", I realized a lot of the synthetic ingredients didn't quite love me back… and the single-use plastic we consume with it? That stuff is increasingly harming our planet and ourselves (what I've deemed "the plast-ick").. I found it impossible to find skincare that is nourishing, planet-friendly and brings me joy like ~*the balms of my youth*~.

My mission was born at the heart of this experience: to make sustainable choices accessible & fun through natural, quality lip care. Thank you for being here, it truly means the world!
