Everkind Life

Dry, itchy, cracked lips are no fun at all. And as the summer temperatures heat up, lips can get painfully sore. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can care for your lips naturally this summer.

Join us to learn why lips get chapped and what you can do to keep your lips oh-so soft this summer!

Lip Balms have been in use for millennia, and the best lip balms moisturise and protect your lips from drying and chapping. Lip care is nothing new. It's reported that Cleopatra used a combination of olive oil and beeswax to care for her lips.

Unfortunately, it didn't stay lovely and natural and we've had decades of petroleum-derived lip balms encased in plastic. 

Here at Everkind, we've decided to re-imagine luxury lip balm to care for you and your world. Join us to welcome the next generation of eco lip balms. Your lips will love you for it!

From the very beginning, I knew that Everkind needed to tread lightly on this earth. That’s what led us to our ‘planet kind’ promise. A promise that we’ll choose the less travelled path, find ways to minimise and eliminate harm, and actively restore this spectacular planet we call home.

The way we figure it, bodycare should never come at the cost of human health and wellbeing. That’s a promise we won’t compromise on, and we call it ‘people kind’. A promise that we’ll always put people before profit.

In the world of natural skincare and bodycare, things aren’t always what they seem. Greenwashing and over-promising abound, and it can be hard to know what to trust.
