This kit includes our amazing Bakuchiol Lip Balm and Lip Scrub. If you’ve never heard of Bakuchiol, we’re going to let you in on all the benefits. Bakuchiol is a plant-based retinol alternative that improves elasticity and tightens the skin. It also helps protect against free radicals and stimulates collagen production. Think of Bakuchiol as the powerful solution for healing severely chapped lips.

The lip balm is made with powerful ingredients like avocado oil, shea butter, tocopherol acetate, and cucumber seed oil to provide powerful hydration, protect your skin’s outer layer, reduce signs of fine lines and wrinkles, and plump the skin. The lip scrub will rid your lips of any and all dead skin to reveal visibly smoother lips.
