Lip Repair was originally called Myrrhacle Balm—a cheeky nod to both myrrh, one of its star ingredients, and my somewhat nerdy sense of humor. But the name wasn’t just a play on words. Myrrh truly is miraculous in the way it helps repair cracked, damaged skin, making it one of the cornerstone ingredients in this formula.
The other two MVPs? Cupuacu butter and manuka honey. Together, they form a trio of deeply healing, hydrating, and protective ingredients that work wonders on dry, compromised lips. The balm is thick, luscious, and impressively long-lasting. Left on overnight, it works like magic—people often tell us they wake up feeling like the lip filler fairy made a house call.
How to Use Lip Repair for Best Results
For optimal healing, break through the surface of the balm with the back of a clean fingernail or a small spoon. Don’t just glide across the top—scoop up a generous amount and layer it on. It’s especially powerful as an overnight lip treatment, but you can also use it throughout the day for ongoing moisture and repair.
And don’t stop at your lips—this balm works beautifully on ragged cuticles, cracked knuckles, or dry patches under the nose (especially during cold and allergy seasons). It’s a tiny jar with big, restorative energy.
Star Ingredients in Lip Repair
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha)
This ancient resin has been revered for thousands of years for its remarkable healing power—especially for cracked, irritated skin. It’s been used in wound care and rituals since Biblical times, thanks to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties. Myrrh’s naturally resinous texture creates a gentle protective barrier, making it perfect for supporting skin recovery on the lips. We source a certified organic extract from Somalia, with a grounding, earthy scent that speaks to its long-standing history in herbal medicine.
Manuka Honey
Sourced from the blossoms of the manuka bush in New Zealand, this richly textured honey has earned a reputation as one of nature’s most powerful healers. What sets manuka apart from other types of honey is its exceptionally high content of methylglyoxal (MGO), an antibacterial compound that works synergistically with enzymes in your skin. Fun fact: when manuka honey interacts with the skin, it releases small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, enhancing its wound-healing and antimicrobial action. This makes it a perfect addition to any lip treatment—especially when chapping, cracking, or irritation are part of the picture.
Castor Bean Oil (Ricinus communis)
Organic castor oil is the secret behind Lip Repair’s luscious, long-lasting finish. Its thick, glossy texture creates a protective layer over the lips, locking in moisture while helping the other botanical actives sink deeper. Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil is both emollient and humectant, meaning it softens the lips while drawing in hydration from the surrounding environment. It’s part of what gives Lip Repair its signature staying power.
Cupuaçu Butter (Theobroma grandiflorum)
This Amazonian butter is a true multitasker. Cupuaçu is a botanical cousin of cocoa butter, but with even greater moisture retention capabilities. It can hold up to 400% of its weight in water, making it a powerhouse for dry, compromised lips. It draws water into the skin and reinforces the lipid barrier, sealing it in for lasting hydration. The subtly nutty scent adds to the experience, and the silky, rich texture glides on like a dream.
Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum)
With its rich emerald hue and earthy aroma, tamanu oil is as potent as it is unique. Traditionally used in Polynesian medicine for healing wounds, burns, and insect bites, tamanu oil contains calophyllolide, a compound known to calm inflammation and accelerate tissue regeneration. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties offer protection against infection, especially when lips are chapped or cracked, and its ability to support healthy skin repair makes it a hero ingredient in this balm.
