# Mythical Flatulence Chapsticks The Unicorn Farts Lip Balm is a Rarity By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-03-09 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-farts-lip-balm References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/unicorn-farts-lip-balm/?) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/85884024/preorder-unicorn-farts-lip-balm-one-tube) The Unicorn Farts Lip Balm is extremely hard to make because first, one must find a unicorn, then sneak up behind it with a jar and wait until it passes gas (which can take a while because unicorns only fart once every 100 years); however, the owner of Etsy shop 'Long Winter Farm' Amanda has allegedly managed to collect a few jarred farts to turn into [lip balm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omy-lip-drinks). Jokes aside, the mythical fart is created with natural beeswax, cocoa butter, jojoba, sweet almond and grape seed oils to produce a [lip moisturizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melting-lip-balm) that tastes like rainbows and does wonders for your pucker. This is brilliant marketing on Amanda's part because she took a simple product and made it stand out just by changing the name to something that grabs people's attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fantasy-themed Cosmetic Products:** Creating cosmetic products inspired by fantasy can be a unique selling point and can attract attention from a niche market. - **Humorous Marketing Strategies:** Humor can be an effective marketing tool, as shown by the success of Unicorn Farts Lip Balm. - **Natural Beauty Products:** Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of what they put in and on their bodies, so incorporating natural ingredients into beauty products can be a disruptive innovation opportunity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can benefit from creating unique and playful products that stand out from the competition. - **Marketing:** The success of humorous marketing strategies such as the Unicorn Farts Lip Balm can be emulated by other businesses to attract attention and differentiate themselves. - **Natural Beauty:** The trend towards natural and organic beauty products provides an opportunity for innovation and disruption in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Cushiony Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-balm.md) - [Black Metal-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-embalms.md) - [Unicorn-Shaped Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-unicornilicious.md) - [Naturally Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starface-star-balm.md) - [Mythically Inspired Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-twist-pops.md) - [Sour Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-lip-balm.md) - [Flavor-Packed Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hismile-lip-balm.md) - [Mythical Creature Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomb-pop-unicorn-wonder.md) - [Meal-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smac-and-cheese.md)
