Ethique Lipbalm

I bought the peppermint flavor amd I really like it. It's creamy and nice and leaves a nice cooling feeling on my lips. I would definitely buy again.

Received in an Ethique mystery box I purchased. I have the pink one NECTAR. Unscented lip balm, not negative but I do prefer a scent. Packaging made of cardboard, no plastic, is compostable.

The lip balm itself is quite solid, not soft and creamy like other brands I'm used to. Not sure if it's a formula thing or a packaging thing. Still useable. Imagine this will last months, maybe even a year which is awesome.

They retail for $30? From memory so is way more expensive than what I usually pay for a lipbalm. However, the company message and ethics are top notch.

At that price point, I doubt I will be repurchasing though.

I was stoked to pick up the mint variety for a really good price at Countdown. I love a minty scented lip balm for winter amd this didn't disappoint. I got that minty tingle I was looking for! I was surprised at how well the packaging held up as usually I find cardboard isn't the greatest, but it's pretty sturdy. My one complaint is that it is quite a firm balm and doesn't glide super easily but I can live with that. It left my lips feeling in really good condition and beforehand they were pretty dry from the change of season. Can't wait to try the tinted variety next.

I purchased the sugarplum in hope it would be like a tinted lip balm and it did give a little bit of hue. It's creamy and moisturises well.

I also haven't been brave enough to have this in my bag as I think it would melt easily

I recently purchased this, excited to try a lip balm tube without plastic. The cocoa smell was DELICIOUS and the formula was very moisturising. I'll definitely repurchase so I can try all the flavours!

My only concern, and the reason I haven't given it a full 5 stars, is I haven't been brave enough to put it in my handbag yet. I worry that if it is left in the car it might melt and make a mess in my bag. Hopefully someone braver than me will try it and report back!

This lip balm is amazing it has a peppermint flavor which leaves your lips feeling plumped and fresh. It has a maroon/tint that makes your lips look great.

I got this in a mystery box and I love everything about it. I am a lip balm finatic and have tried them all.... this is definitely up there with the best.

It comes in a tube which is compostable and you push the lip balm up from the bottom. The lid is quite loose so I'd be careful putting it somewhere it could easily fall off. It is wider than anything else I've ever used which I quite like. I got so cocoa and it smells absolutely delicious..... like chocolate but not overpowering or sickly.

It goes on smoothly and makes my lips feel hydrated but not sticky at all. It is a lovely moisturising formula and I don't know why I have not tried this before! I look forward to trying the rest of the range. Highly recommend!

This lip balm is everything you want and more. It’s eco friendly in every way right down to the compostable packaging and of course plastic free. Bonus made in NZ which I don’t know that there are many other tube balms like it.

My one is So Cocoa and I was a little surprised that the actual product wasn’t brown (it’s a natural skin colour) as the packaging is a deep brown colour and with a beautiful yummy cocoa butter scent. I would say the tube is at least 50% bigger in comparison to a Burt’s Bees one so should last you many months at 9g. That’s quite economical even if the counter price is a bit higher than I’m used to. The texture is quite rich, not slippery or glossy and lasts a few hours with no discernible colour - just what you want for a balm to wear at home or before bed. There’s no flavour also if you accidentally taste it.

The tube is completely cardboard including the push up bit at the bottom. I’ve only needed to push it up once in the few weeks I’ve had this but it feels solid enough to last multiple opening/closing on the lid and base. I’ll be buying this one again in another variety and will try also to get my hubby to switch as he’s addicted to Chapstick and there are much better options than that.
