A.M.S Mānuka Honey Lip Balm

Born from a genuine need and personal use, our A.M.S Mānuka Honey Lip Balm was created in collaboration with founder Gabrielle, who had long been searching for a truly hydrating and nourishing treatment for dry, chapped lips. She wanted something medicinal yet wearable; a matte balm that could sit comfortably under a lipstick or lip tint while continuing to restore and hydrate.

“As someone who has always had very dry lips, I was searching for a balm that went beyond surface hydration, something that truly repaired my lips and could be layered beneath other products.”

– Gabrielle Mirkin, founder

The intention was never to make just another lip balm, it had to be a true treatment balm. One that harnessed the magic of the bees: from the potency of Mānuka Honey 850+MGO to the protective layer of organic beeswax, a beautiful by-product of the honey process. Every ingredient was chosen with care and purpose, fulfilling that original need for deep repair and nourishment.

The resulting offering is a golden matte balm that glides on without stickiness. The natural hue of honey and beeswax, carries over to the taste and smell, capturing the essence of the hive.

Superpower Ingredients:

Mānuka Honey 850+MGO

The basis of this lip balm is our 850+MGO Raw Mānuka Honey, one of the highest grades available. ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey is ideal for a lip balm because it deeply hydrates, soothes, and protects. As a natural humectant, it locks in moisture, while its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help to heal chapped or irritated lips.

Raw Mānuka Oil

Our Raw Mānuka Oil is 100% pure, wildcrafted, and distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Mānuka tree. Harvested by hand on a remote island in New Zealand and freshly distilled in small batches, it carries the plant’s potent antiviral and protective properties. We chose this ingredient for its ability to support lip health, helping to prevent infection, soothe irritation, and even aid in the treatment of cold sores.

Organic Beeswax

Organic beeswax is included because it's natural and safe for sensitive skin. It protects, hydrates, and locks in moisture. It forms a natural, breathable barrier on the lips, shielding them from wind, cold, and dryness while preventing moisture loss. Its natural texture also helps give the balm a smooth consistency that glides on easily.

Pomegranate Flower & Pomegranate Seed (PLUMP Oléoactif)

PLUMP Oléoactif® is a unique botanical active derived from organic pomegranate flowers. Clinically shown to enhance hydration, it helps restore fullness and smoothness to the skin, resulting in a natural plumping of the lips. By stimulating hyaluronic acid production, it supports moisture retention and improves elasticity.
