  • Smoother lips from the first use

On Your Skin

How It Feels

Color

Deep rosy brown

Brown sugar, rose petal and beetroot. A rosy brown, not a bright pink.

Scent

Floral and rosy

True rose absolute and geranium, not a fragrance oil.

Taste

Faintly sweet

Faint, not candy-sweet. That's the brown sugar, not added flavouring.

Texture

Coarse, packed grains

Grains you can see through the glass. They soften as you work them in.

Ayurvedic Heritage

The Botanicals That Matter

Organic Brown Sugar

Sucrose

The first ingredient, and the whole exfoliant. Sugar rather than salt, because sugar is gentler on lip skin and it softens as you work instead of staying sharp. You can see the grains through the glass before you open the jar.

Dried Rosa damascena rose petals - Ayurvedic skincare ingredient that soothes and restores

Rose

Rosa Centifolia & Rosa Damascena

Rose comes in two forms here. Finely milled petal powder, and true rose oil. Varnya is Ayurveda's classical designation for the complexion botanicals, and rose has held it for centuries.

Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) - the Ayurvedic adaptogen that calms stressed skin

Ashwagandha

Withania Somnifera

The Charaka Samhita lists it among the Rasayana botanicals, the rejuvenatives. Ground root, so it colours the blend. It is here for tired skin and tired days, the same reason it sits in every Rose & Ashwagandha product.

Details

How to Use
  1. Start with dry lips. Water dissolves the sugar before it can work.
  2. Take a small amount on a dry fingertip.
  3. Massage in small circles for 15–30 seconds. Light pressure.
  4. Wipe away with a soft damp cloth. A cloth rather than tissue; the beetroot in the blend can transfer a little colour.
  5. Follow with lip balm while lips are still soft.

2–3 times a week, not daily. Evening suits it best.

Use a dry finger and keep water out of the jar. There is no preservative in here and none is needed. Water in the jar would dissolve the sugar and spoil it, though, so a dry finger keeps it good to the last scoop.

On the colour: it is a deep rosy brown rather than the bright pink you might expect from the name. The brown sugar sets the base, and the milled rose petal and beetroot pull it rosier. There is no dye in it.

Best For
  • Lips that feel rough or flaky
  • Anyone wearing matte lip colour who wants it to sit evenly
  • October to February, when lips take the worst of it

Sensitive lips: patch test first. This contains rose and geranium essential oils.

Full Ingredients (INCI)

Sucrose, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice Bran) Wax, Garcinia Indica (Kokum) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) Root Powder, Rosa Centifolia ()Rose Flower Powder, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Powder, Tocopherol, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower oil, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Citronellol*, Geraniol*, Linalool*

* Occurs naturally in essential oils

Contains sweet almond oil and shea butter (tree nuts), and coconut oil. A lip product is swallowed in small amounts, so if you have a tree-nut or coconut allergy this is not for you.

Kokum butter is the Garcinia Indica Seed Butter above. A classical South Indian butter, and one almost nobody uses.

Care & Warnings
  • Contains sweet almond oil and shea butter (tree nuts), and coconut oil.
  • For external use only.
  • Avoid contact with eyes.
  • Patch test before first use.
  • Do not use on broken or cracked lips. Wait until lips are intact.
  • Use a dry finger and keep water out of the jar. There is no preservative in it, so water would spoil it.
  • Keep out of reach of children. It tastes sweet, it comes in a small jar, and it is a cosmetic rather than a food.
  • Store below 20°C. The coconut oil softens in a warm room.
  • Colour may vary a little between batches. Real botanicals do that.
  • Best before the date on the jar.
