# Holiday-Dessert-Inspired Lip Treatments Sweet July Skin Launches the 'Rum Cake Lip Treatment' By Debra John | Published 2025-11-12 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rum-cake-lip-treatment References: [sweetjuly](https://sweetjuly.com/products/lip-treatment?variant=50984620294465) The 'Rum Cake Lip [Treatment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-balm)' is the newest addition to [Sweet July Skin’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-july-skin-lip-treatments) 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.
