Hybrid Plant-Based Lip Balms

Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm Has a 7,000 Person Waitlist

— March 27, 2023 — Fashion
Many consumers are looking for products that can provide multiple benefits in one easy-to-use formula and Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm is one such product. This in-demand product offers all the shine of a gloss (minus the stickiness) and all the hydrating comfort provided by a lip balm in one take-anywhere tube. The plant-based balm conditions and soothes with shea and murumuru seed butters, plus vegan waxes.

Recently, the brand introduced Pink Sugar as an all-new springtime shade and within a week, it sold out online and amassed a waitlist of more than 7,000 people.

With the demand for natural, effortless beauty looks, consumers are seeking out makeup products that enhance their natural features without looking too heavy or overdone.
