Description

Ruby Red Tinted Balm delivers a warm cherry-red wash of botanical color for lips and cheeks. Made with alkanet root, turmeric, sunflower oil, and beeswax, it layers on sheer, nourishing color while keeping skin soft and comfortable.

Unlike a lipstick, Ruby Red melts into the skin for a natural flush that can be worn as a subtle tint or built up with additional layers. The warm orange-red tone is complemented by bright citrus and spicy clove essential oils.

Great for:
Everyday lip color
Sheer cheek color
Minimal makeup routines
Buildable botanical color
.5 fl oz

Ritual

 Tap onto lips or the apples of the cheeks and blend with fingertips.

Layer additional coats for a richer pop of color.

Sourcing Spotlight

Our Ruby Red Tinted Lip Balm owes its golden hue and antioxidant kick to Pragati Turmeric from Diaspora Co. This single-origin turmeric is organically grown on a small regenerative farm in Andhra Pradesh, India, and is known for its high curcumin content and vibrant color.

  • Antioxidant-rich — helps soothe and protect lips from environmental stress
  • Bright, golden pigment — gives Ruby Red its warm, earthy tint
  • Ethically sourced — grown by the Kasaraneni family and championed through direct trade

We source from Diaspora Co. because their mission aligns with ours: honoring plants, people, and the planet through transparency, equity, and vibrant, powerful ingredients.

FAQ
What is the difference between Lip and Cheek Stain and Ruby Red Tinted Balm?
They are similar, they are both sheer but the color is slightly different. Lip & Cheek is more of a cool red tone and Ruby Red is a bit more of a warm orange red tone.
Can this be used on cheeks as well?
Yes! Ruby Red is great for a sheer cheek tint as well as for the lips.
Is the color buildable?
Yes. One layer gives a subtle flush, while additional layers create a brighter, more vibrant pop of color.
Is this a lipstick?
Not quite. Ruby Red is a nourishing tinted balm with a sheer finish rather than a fully opaque lipstick.
What does it smell like?
The aroma comes naturally from clove and sweet orange essential oils, giving Ruby Red a warm, citrus-spice scent with no synthetic fragrance.
