Safou Oil
Introducing our hero ingredient: safou oil, a unique natural vegetable oil sourced in Central and Western Africa. Known more widely as the African pear or the “butter fruit” for its rich oily pulp. Safou oil ethically slows down the ageing process of the skin, naturally improving its texture and elasticity by making it smoother. We are the first brand to integrate safou oil into cosmetic products in Europe.

In love with this lip balm! It has the perfect balance of slip, stick and moisture! I’m funny about certain textures on my lips, so this is a dream for me. The subtle scent is also perfection - feels so natural.
