Top 15 Natural, Organic and Herbal Lip Balms in India with Reviews and Prices

While a lot of us have inhibitions about organic and natural beauty products, yet they can be allayed if we acknowledge the fact that organic products need a certification. “But there are hardly any organic lip balms in India and most of them cost an arm and a leg” would be your counter-point. W-A-I-T, there are and most of these lip moisturisers won’t even pinch your pockets! Want to know? Go through the list of 15 best natural and herbal brands below and thank me for awakening the shopaholic in you for products that cater to your dry flaky lips!

While a lot of us tuck away hordes of lip balms in our cupboards, bags, etc. yet do we realise that they aren’t supposed to be stored that way? Firstly, lip creams come laced with an alarming number of noxious chemicals. Secondly, what we put on our lips, works its way all the way down to our stomach. In other words, we are ingesting chemicals. So, what’s the solution? Like always, go organic because doing so means embracing a shorter shelf life of lip butters which are packed with nourishing natural ingredients.

List of Must Have Natural and Herbal Lip Balms:

1. SKIN CAFÉ LIP BALMS:

What are cafes for? Socializing, clicking selfies, having a whale of a time and unwinding while throwing caution to the wind. So, why not have a skin café too? That’s what SkinCafe, a Mumbai and Pune based organic lip-care venture does. It treats your lips to wholesome, luxurious and drool-worthy natural lip tints, balms and scrubs. Cruelty-free, vegan, natural, organic, opting for fresh and premium quality ingredients… you name it and they have it as a part of their menu to pamper you.

All their products have natural and organic origins and are composed of pure and unrefined butters (like Shea, cocoa, mango and Kokum), pure USDA organic certified essential oils and skin-friendly herbal infusions. Also, you can get creative and ask them to custom-make FRESH organic lip products for you. While they offer both tinted and non-tinted balms, yet I find 3 tinted balms that are my sinful indulgences. They are-

1. SkinCafé Berry Cheesecake Lip Tint-

Want to unleash that sensual sultry mistress in you? Give it a shot without any thought. Perfect for warm Indian skin tones.

2. SkinCafé Mint chocolate brownie lip tint-

Don’t lick it, first of all. Exhibit self-control. It leaves behind a delectable light brown tinge with oodles of coolness. Perfect for warm Indian skin shade.

3. SkinCafé Strawberry Shortcake Lip Tint Balm-

No one needs a reason to grab a strawberry lip balm that too, if it comes from Skin Cafe. Perfect for all skin shades.

PRICE- 900/- INR each

2. ISLAND KISS LIP MOISTURISERS-

Flirtatious, sassy, wild… blend these all and you have My Island Kiss- an organic lip care enterprise from the gorgeous locales of Goa. Spearheaded by Shaili and Siddharth and launched in Kodaikanal in 2015, My Island Kiss moved to Goa and is going strong with every passing day.

If you know where you come from, you can go anywhere” is the mantra these untameable souls live by. Strictly against nasty ingredients, petroleum, parabens, phthalates, sulphates and anything artificial, their lip moisturisers breathe into your lips. They have SPF 15- Beat that! Good news is that they are launching 2 more variants this October- Black Rose And Grenada Rouge as well as Flamingo Pink Peony. I see eyes dilate in ecstasy.

Presently, they offer organic lip moisturisers (drool alert) in 3 variants. They are-

1. CHERRY BLOSSON FLORES-

The aroma, softness and luxurious feeling of rolling it on your pucker satiates the hedonist in you!

2. ALMA VANILLA & INGES LAVENDER-

Perfect for wearing every day without looking gaudy. Its natural vanilla fragrance takes to a different world. Show the world, your pucker lady.

3. PUERTO BERRY BLUSH-

Hands down, the best out of the lot. It’s in a class of its own. The organic lip balm Scores full marks in every department.

I’d recommend My Island Kiss Puerto Berry Lip Moisturiser for it is the textbook definition of an ideal tinted lip cream. Eliciting a bold red colour, crafted with ingredients that are safe even if ingested, it deserves a place in your beauty stash. Definitely one of the best natural lip balms in the Indian market.

3. IDA NATURALS LIP BUTTERS-

Standing for comfort in Sanskrit, Ida Naturals pampers one with hand-crafted bath and body treats. Based out of Bangaluru, it is helmed by Priya Iyer. Their eclectic range runs into cold-pressed soaps, body butters, lip butters, bath salts, hand creams and a lot more. For all Bangaloreans out there, there’s good news- Priya takes up soap-making classes in Bangalore. All agog? You’ve got your reasons after all. Its a very budget friendly Indian brand.

100% Herbal formulations is what they boast of and should, rightfully. In my experience, Ida Naturals Choco Mint lip Balm deserves a special mention in my list of natural lip butters. A heady blend of chocolate with the cooling sensation of mint, this balm sends your lips and olfactory senses into a tizzy. It soothes chapped lips naturally within a week. Warning- Resist the urge to lick it. It’s enticing but is inedible. Remember that. Always!

PRICE- 100/- INR

4. LA FLORA ORGANICS LIP BALMS-

Handmade products crafted using certified organic ingredients by trained rural women with solicitude and joy in galore, La Flora Organics makes no bones about its practices. Based out of the picturesque Pondicherry (called Pondy affectionately by the locals) their lip balms quench one’s lips’ thirst for hydration and moisturization exceptionally.

Spearheaded by the noble Mrs. Sithara Gerdes, it is owned by Anthara Crafts and works for the betterment of rural women. A sense of complacency arouses when one supports this herbal brand which takes its social responsibility the way most brands in India today, don’t.

The Mango Lip Butter by La Flora Organics deserves special mention. Smearing it on your lips is akin to daubing raw mango pulp on your lips. Picture Katrina Kaif from the Slice advert! Warning- It may seem similar to gliding mango pulp on your lips but do not let the foodie in you take the better of you. Let’s not even get started about the aroma of the lip balm. It is simply put- unparalleled and of course, not synthetic.

PRICE- 225/- INR

5. GREENVIV LIP CREAMS-

Based out of Dilwaon ki Dilli, Greenviv lives by the mantra of ‘Less is more’. Do not be appalled if you see only 5-6 ingredients in each of their products. The list of natural ingredients is complete and nowhere misleading. Their eclectic range of products encompasses sulphate-free washes, shampoos, cold-processed soaps and gels. Indulge whole-heartedly in them, ladies.

I would recommend Greenviv’s  Strawberry & Beetroot Natural Lip Balm as it imparts a comely pink-meets-maroon tint with long-lasting hydration without burning a hole in your pocket. Doesn’t it tick all the boxes of an immaculate lip balm?

Pro Tip- Scrub your lips with Greenviv’s Chocolate lip scrub and then, glide their Strawberry & Beetroot lip balm. The end result will have you waxing lyrical of this novel brand. It is worth every penny you pay- mark my words. You’ll have Kendell Jenner vie for your plump pucker. Isn’t that tempting? These are one of the most inexpensive herbal Indian lip balms.

Period. What’s best is that they offer lip balms in both tub and stick packaging. You wouldn’t want to miss trying one from their tempting range, would you?

I’d recommend Aroma Essentials Coconut Vanilla Chapstick for its aroma is riveting (attained by the addition of essential oils) and moisturisation (made up of unrefined butters) commendable. Since the lip balm is clear and not tinted, Indian men out there can give it a shot uninhibitedly. This one is certainly for both the men and women out there. Splurge whole-heartedly. Again one of the top selling organic lip balms in India.

7. QUINTA ESSENTIA ORGANICS LIP BUTTERS-

Based out of New Delhi and helmed by Arti Gaur, Quinta Essentia Organics turns you into an addict. Once you get hold of their luxurious lip conditioners, chances are high that you’d discard all your chemical-laden lip balms to the trash point-blank. Deeply moisturising butters infused with therapeutic essential oils, they make no bones about their lip balms’ ingredients and composition. Not only that they spoil you with their range of luxurious butters, cold-pressed soaps, sun veil, serums and much more… I see the conscious shopaholic in you awaken.

I’d recommend Quinta Essentia Rose Butter. Why? With zero greasiness, oodles of long-lasting hydration, a riveting aroma of roses and nourishment going on to your lips sans burning a hole in your pocket, this one’s a winner all the way. This lip butter is composed of food grade organic ingredients, so are assured that you are feeding your skin what can be very well fed to your body.

They craft fresh handmade products too, so don’t limit yourself. Get creative and let her know what it is that you are eyeing!

I’d recommend Organic Mill’s Peppermint Lip Balm whose softening ability is the best I have encountered so far in my test for the best natural lip balm out there. One week and your lips are healed no matter how chapped they are- mark my words. And their herbal lip balms are available in a number of mouth-watering flavours- strawberry, vanilla, orange, rose and lemon… It’s going to be tough for you to zero in on one for they all are tempting.

We have Suganda today, one of the most trusted organic brands, whose range encompasses soothing organic body creams, cold-pressed soaps, anti-acne mask and an energising lip balms.

I’d recommend Suganda Orange Lip Balm. Why?

It makes for an ideal base for lipsticks leaving you with a pucker that does not hold you back from pouting!

10. OMVED LIP BUTTERS–

OM (absolute) and VED (knowledge), when combined mean- living in complete consciousness. Living by the mantra of a pure/natural/balanced existence, Omved’s products are the epitome of ethicality. Furnishing what all is added and what all isn’t in each of their products, their skin care range compels you to sit back and take notice. Based out of Aamchi Mumbai, they take their all-natural and chemical-free tags sternly.

Give a shot to the premium quality Omved’s Cinnamon Lip Balm if your lips are battling pigmentation. And wait, there is more.

With a diverse range spanning bath salts, face creams, moisturizers, cold-pressed soaps and many more to list, you cannot turn a blind eye to this 100% vegan, GMP certified and eco-friendly Indian beauty brand.

Confession of the day- My first brush with lip balms happened I was in Class 8th (I was a late-bloomer). A friend of mine pulled out an eerie pink tube slyly from her pocket, swiped it frantically on her lips (school rules, after all) and tucked it away in her pocket with her eyes roving all over to allay potential danger (read: teachers) Eight years down the line and I indulge in chapsticks whole-heartedly. So which ones have you tried so far? And which ones roused the lip-balm addict in you? Let it out in the comments section.

    • Just Herbs is quite expensive for what it does, Dipika. “Most” of the balms mentioned here are not only effective but also reasonably priced so, keeping that in mind, there’s nothinf extraordinary about Just Herbs. Moreover, if the percentages are added in what’s furnished in its ingredients’ list, it doesn’t even come out to be 100.

      So, that means that Just Herbs isn’t cent per cent transparent about the composition of its lip balm. The ones mentioned here are 😊
