Biodegradable Chapstick Packaging

Rocky Mountain Soap Co' Lip Quench Balms Are Potted in Paper

— August 3, 2016 — Fashion
The Lip Quench tinted balms by Rocky Mountain Co feature a natural chapstick packaging that is creatively designed to slowly biodegrade as the product is used up. In other words, the product is potted in paper that naturally begins to compose over a certain period of time. This encourages consumers to use the product while also reminding them that the packaging and tinted balm are both made from curated natural ingredients.

The Lip Quenches are available in four different fruit and floral flavors with a subtle color tint to give lips a rosy, berry or red sheen. The product features organic avocado, beeswax and coconut oil and is tinted using natural dyes from ingredients such as iron oxide. The packaging provides an environmentally friendly design that keeps the product intact and easy to use.
