Love Note

One swipe and my lips feel instantly soft and cared for. I keep one in every pocket, bag and drawer.

We’ve reformulated a few times—adjusting the mix of butters with different melting points. It’s gone a little grainy here and there (hello, Okanagan heat), but we kept at it until it felt just right.

Good for dry lips without a lot of perfume smell

Good packaging for using the product and a light vanilla scent. Been using the coconut for a year now.

We’ve perfected this formula and it’s now even smoother and silkier than ever!

It was ok… Had a grainy effect that I oddly liked but the lip balm itself didn’t do much to nourish my lips.

Amazing

These Lip Balms are go to’s i do not buy any other brands. I find they are a mixture of scrub which then melts into a soft balm.

Don’t let winter lips get you down

I was using an “h” brand organic lip balm but it was not cutting it for winter dryness. I pulled this out of the drawer. I recall thinking that it was too thick and gooey when I bought it…but give it a minute! Once it has a chance to get warm/melt, it sinks into my lips and is so hydrating against the winter chapping. I have extremely sensitive skin around my lips and this balm is soothing, non-irritating and provides deep moisture for the cold, dry winters

The blend for the vanilla bliss lip balm is so smooth and creamy, but not too thick. Perfect care for Canadian winter!
I highly recommend.

Product too small

The product itself was nice and smelled great but its very small with not alot of selection. Its overpriced for the quantity that you get. I'll not be purchasing again.

This lip balm smells great, however it is more gritty than some of the other ones, would love to see a smoother texture.

Mmm This Vanilla!

Loving this new vanilla lip balm. Personally my fav one from their collection. I get hints of the scent as I'm wearing it and it keeps my lips hydrated for a long time. Coming for a lip balm obsessed person, I will be buying this again.

Not my fave of the lip balms as it seems a bit more oily and shiny...texture is less thick and creamy on the lips than some of the other ones, my favourite being Ruby Red ❤️ I loved the cover of this balm though 😉

FAQ

The Good Stuff, Explained

Most lip balms coat. This one nourishes. Mango Seed Butter, Shea Butter, Meadowfoam Oil, Aloe Butter, and Grape Seed Oil work together to genuinely restore moisture — delivering vitamins A, C, and E while offering natural sun protection. A lip balm that earns its place in a ritual, not just a pocket.

Mango Seed Butter brings vitamin A to stimulate skin renewal and improve texture. Shea Butter delivers vitamins A, C, and E to combat dryness and free radicals. Meadowfoam Oil provides a natural SPF while locking in moisture. Aloe Butter soothes and aids rapid hydration. All of it 100% natural — nothing that shouldn't touch your lips.

Yes — 100% natural, made without mineral oil, parabens, propylene glycol, or synthetic colour. The formula is as clean as the intention behind it.

The tube is compostable — a conscious choice that reflects the brand's commitment to minimal environmental impact. The push-up mechanism is a little different from a standard twist-up balm — it takes a gentle nudge to get started, but once you're used to it, it feels entirely intentional. Part of BV's continuous improvement, not a flaw.

Every single one. The Meadowfoam Oil provides a natural SPF for sun exposure, while the Shea and Mango Butters deeply repair lips through dry winters, air conditioning, and everything in between. One formula, every season.

The Vanilla Effect, Coconut Kiss, Mint, Ruby Red, Mustard Bath, and more — each one carrying the same nourishing base, just dressed differently. The Lip Balm Trio (The Vanilla Effect, Mint, and Coconut Kiss) is an easy way to find a favourite without committing to just one.
