The Body Shop Canada is giving its Born Lippy collection a fresh, extra-juicy update with six new glossy lip balms inspired by everything from café drinks to nostalgic desserts. Designed as pocket-sized essentials, the balms add a touch of color while helping lips feel soft, smooth and hydrated.
The lineup includes Caramel Cream, with rich caramel and vanilla notes; creamy Matcha Latte; refreshing Peach Ice Tea; fruit-forward Strawberry Jam; and Watermelon Sorbet, which pairs crisp watermelon with cool minty notes. Cherry Glaze, a candy-like cherry scent with a slightly tart finish, is also set to join the collection soon. The playful range turns an everyday lip-care step into something more sensorial, with flavors and scents consumers already recognize from food and beverage culture.
By leaning into gourmand-inspired profiles, The Body Shop is tapping into beauty consumers’ appetite for products that feel functional, collectible and a little more fun to use.
Why This Trend Is Growing

Industries Being Reshaped
