With Marvel's 'Black Panther' being one of the most successful films of 2018, Lip Smackers decided to celebrate with the release of a new Black Panther lip balm, which is shaped just like a miniature version of the superhero from Wakanda.
In addition to functioning as a useful lip balm that's great for hydrating and providing comfort during the dry winter months, the Black Panther lip balm is also a key chain, making it more easily accessible, while also providing a unique aesthetic. The lip balm is complete with the full suit that the superhero wears, along with the accompanying claws. On the front of the tiny torso, Marvel's classic branding is included in a small red box logo.
The Black Panther lip balm is currently available on the Lip Smackers web store, as well as from a number of particpating retailers.
