Vegan Formulation | Professional Balm Base
Our Vegan Lip Balm Base is a high-performance, professionally formulated anhydrous blend designed for brands seeking a rich, plant-based balm base with excellent stability, glide and finish.
Formulated using carefully selected plant oils, butters and waxes, this base delivers intensive moisture and protection while maintaining a smooth, glossy application and stable structure.
The result is a solid yet creamy balm that melts on contact with the skin, leaving lips soft, conditioned and protected without feeling heavy or sticky.
Formulated with candelilla wax in place of beeswax, this version offers a fully vegan alternative while maintaining the performance and structure of a traditional lip balm.
Supplied unscented, this base is suitable for customisation with essential oils, flavour oils or oil-soluble actives (up to 5%), allowing flexibility in product positioning while maintaining formulation stability.
Suitable for use on lips, as well as multi-purpose balm applications including hand, body and targeted dry areas.

Compliance & Regulatory
This product has an existing safety assessment in place for the base formulation.
If you wish to sell the product as supplied (unmodified), this assessment can be used as part of your compliance process.
To access the safety documentation, a minimum spend of £100 + VAT per product applies, after which we offer two options:
- £30 + VAT – Release of the existing CPSR (as-is, under Naturally Balmy)
- £50 + VAT – CPSR updated to list your brand as the Responsible Person (RP)
Please note, if you make any modifications (including adding flavours, essential oils, colours or other ingredients), this will be classed as a new product and will require a new CPSR and full compliance.
Our CPSR and regulatory support services can be found here:

If you are looking for a faster route to market, we also offer ready-made flavoured vegan lip balm formulations which already have safety assessments in place.
These still require the standard CPSR release fee, however they do not require a new assessment, making them a more straightforward option for launch.
