Trippy Lippy is a collection of natural, organic and earth-conscious lip balms that work with the power of plants and the aromatherapeutic benefits of essential oils to naturally nourish and uplift!

Setting up this business has been a dream of mine from my early teens when I first taught myself to make lip balms. After graduating from my design degree and having more time over the lockdowns, I decided to finally go for it and start selling my creations.

The issue of excess plastic production is important to me, so I source packaging that is biodegradable, compostable or recyclable. The balms are housed in cardboard tubes that can be chucked on the compost, or recycled after use. The same applies to all my other packaging. My branding is defined by my eye-catching visuals colour coordinated with each flavour and designed to enhance your experience.

I provide vegan options in support of reducing our animal product consumption as well as beeswax balms that support small scale and organic apiculturalists. In time, I hope to expand my range to include more aromas, as well as tinted balms and lipsticks, but in the meantime I hope people enjoy my current flavours.
