Sweet July Skin Launches the 'Rum Cake Lip Treatment'

— November 12, 2025 — Social Good
The 'Rum Cake Lip Treatment' is the newest addition to Sweet July Skin’s skincare collection, a brand founded by Ayesha Curry and influenced by her Jamaican heritage. Drawing from the traditional holiday dessert, the product offers a seasonal interpretation of lip care that complements the existing Guava, Lychee, and Essential treatments within the line.

Formulated with "plant-based squalene, shea butter, and vitamin E, the Rum Cake Lip Treatment is designed to provide lasting hydration while maintaining a smooth, non-sticky finish." Its formulation aims to balance nourishment and comfort, delivering a subtle sheen suitable for daily use, particularly in colder months.

In recognition of the brand’s Caribbean roots, a portion of proceeds from the Rum Cake Lip Treatment will be directed toward Hurricane Melissa relief efforts through November, supporting ongoing rebuilding and recovery initiatives across affected regions.
