Champagne Lip Butter

Infused with 23 plant-based ingredients, this Champagne-inspired lip butter delivers soft, radiant lips, and is the result of eight years of research and 500 formulation trials. Among its ingredients are olive-derived squalane and mango butter, which deliver deep hydration; elderberry, microalgae, red algae, and natural vitamin E for antioxidant protection; vitamin C to support collagen synthesis and barrier repair; essential fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E to nourish; and rich botanical emollients to nourish, soften, and smooth the skin. Meanwhile, the lip butter’s flavor incorporates notes of bergamot and apricot and is inspired by Champagne’s sparkling qualities. The formula is 100% plant-derived, vegan, cruelty-free, and is cold-processed to minimize energy consumption. The lip butter is presented in Abature’s STAXX packaging, which is plasticfree, refillable, and made from FSC-certified walnut and aluminum, so the products in the range can be stacked together.

What sets your product apart and why is it innovative and special?
Champagne Lip Butter is the result of a decade of research dedicated solely to professional lip care.

With 23 nutrient-rich actives—including red algae, elderberry, and 10x more natural Vitamin E than leading lip balms—it goes beyond moisturizing to actively repair and rejuvenate.
