Three flavours. One love letter to Asia.

 

Inspired by our founder Rui’s childhood in China, each Lip Butter carries a memory. Black sesame mochi, freshly baked red bean mooncakes, a warm cup of jujube tea. The flavours of neighbourhood bakeries, family celebrations and everyday rituals, reimagined as something you can take everywhere.

A little taste of her childhood and Asia now on your lips.

 

Black Sesame · Clear
Deep, nutty and gently toasted, inspired by black sesame mochi. A little comfort, without colour, just a clear glossy shine.

 

Jujube · Red
Light, fresh and delicately fruity, inspired by a warm cup of jujube tea. Our favourite ritual, with a touch of red.

 

Mooncake · Brown
Warm, buttery and sweet, reminiscent of a freshly baked red bean mooncake. A centuries old celebration, with a touch of brown.

 

Rooted in our love of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each flavour pays homage to a taste, a ritual, a feeling. Something familiar. Something that feels like home.

Soft lips, sweet memories. Mush love.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

+

Yes, always. Like all of Herbar products, 100% vegan and cruelty free.

How soon can I expect to see results?

+

It typically takes up to six weeks for products to exhibit their full effects, as this aligns with the natural turnover of your skin cells and the time it takes for the product benefits to manifest on the surface. Consistent application is crucial, even if you don't notice immediate changes. While the desire for quicker results may be tempting, it's important not to overuse certain products. Remember, more is not always better, and excessive use can lead to irritation and sensitivity.

What exactly are ceramides?

+

These well-known skincare components are recognized for their role in constructing a robust skin barrier. Traditionally, ceramides consist of longer chain molecules that primarily operate on the outermost layers of the skin.

How often should I apply The Lip Butter?

+

Apply whenever your lips need a little love, or use a generous layer before bed. Clinically tested to boost hydration by 78%, The Lip Butter significantly improves lip hydration and helps repair the lip barrier, with three clinical trials assessing results at 2 hours, 8 hours and 28 days.

What’s the texture like?

+

Think the rich, comforting texture you love from Vaseline or Aquaphor, taken a few steps further with actives that help repair your lip barrier and deliver lasting hydration. Thick, buttery and cushiony, it glides over your lips, wrapping them in a nourishing layer of comfort. A little goes a long way, whether you’re swiping on during the day or layering up before bed.

How long does one tube last? It's 15ml.

+

Each tube holds 15 ml of buttery lip care, and a little goes a long way. How long it lasts depends on how often and how generously you apply it, whether you prefer a light swipe or a thicker layer before bed. With three light applications a day, our beta group testers found that one 15 ml tube should last roughly 2–3 months. This is an estimate, generous layers, especially before bed, will use it up a little faster.

Who is it for?

+

Anyone whose lips need a little extra love. Whether you’re looking for lasting hydration, barrier care or a comforting everyday ritual, The Lip Butter brings a little science and sweetness to your routine. Or for people that love Black Sesame, Jujubes and mooncakes, they will leave you wanting more.

Where is it made?

+

Proudly made in China, developed alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors. China is at the heart of Herbar’s story, with its rich traditions, remarkable expertise and endless inspiration. Rooted in Chinese food culture and our founder Rui’s childhood, Black Sesame, Jujube and Mooncake are our love letters to the flavours and rituals she grew up with.

We’re proud of where we make our products. China has incredible expertise, and investing in quality ingredients, skilled people and rigorous testing makes all the difference. Plenty of things you already love, including many iPhones, are made there too.

And yes, The Lip Butter is fully vegan and cruelty-free. Made with care, in every sense.

Does it contain fragrance?

+

Yes, The Lip Butter is the only Herbar product containing fragrance, listed as Parfum in the ingredients. It gives each flavour its nostalgic character: Black Sesame, Jujube and Mooncake. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, check the full ingredient list before use.
