The Faces Behind the Balm

Two friends, one kitchen, and a very ambitious batch of lip balm. Since 2014, Derek and Krysta have been proving that clean, natural lip care can be just as pretty as it is kind.

All Natural Lip Balms

We’ve been making our all-natural lip balms by hand in Idaho since 2014. We started with a formula inspired by nature, poured it by hand into the most beautiful tube we could dream up, and it’s been true love ever since! Poppy & Pout products look beautiful on your shelf, but they’re also kind to the environment. We never test on animals, every ingredient is 100% natural, and you can recycle our cardboard tubes when you’ve used it down to the last swipe.
