Let’s be real — lip balm is basically a survival tool. We keep it in our bags, coat pockets, car consoles, and probably have one in a random drawer we forgot about. But here’s the thing: those tiny plastic tubes? Yeah, they’re not disappearing anytime soon.
Why plastic-free lip balm matters (more than you think):
Every year, millions of plastic lip balm tubes end up in landfills or oceans — and because they’re small and lightweight, they often slip through recycling systems like they’re ghosting us. It’s easy to ignore because they’re just “so small,” right? But it adds up. Think about how many you’ve used in your lifetime. (Now multiply that by… literally everyone.)
Sustainable lip balm is the glow-up we need.
At Hello Wink, we make our lip balms without a single speck of plastic. No twist-up tubes, no landfill-bound lids. Just nourishing, handcrafted balms in compostable packaging that’s cute, functional, and guilt-free.
And here’s the kicker: plastic-free lip balm doesn’t just save the planet — it’s also better for your lips.
Most commercial lip balms use petroleum-based ingredients that feel nice at first… until they wear off and leave you reapplying every 10 minutes. Our formulas are packed with plant butters, oils, and waxes that actually hydrate instead of mask the problem.
Ready to make the switch? Here’s how:
-
Start with a single swap. Replace your go-to balm with a plastic-free version you actually want to use (ahem, like ours).
-
Use it daily and notice the difference. Softer lips. Better ingredients. Less plastic guilt.
-
Spread the word. Share your find with a friend. Small switches add up fast.
✨ You don’t have to be a zero-waste expert. Just start where you are. One balm at a time. ✨
