KNDZ vegan lip balms are made with sunflower seed wax and candelilla wax instead of beeswax. Due to the higher melting point of these plant-based waxes, the balm may feel a bit firm during the first few applications. Don’t worry—once you break it in, the texture becomes buttery and smooth. The more you use it, the more it softens with the natural warmth of your lips, making application easier and more enjoyable over time. To maintain the quality and consistency of your lip balm, we recommend storing it at room temperature.
