Time to read 3 min
Did you know the average person swallows up to 7 pounds of lip products in their lifetime?
It’s a shocking stat, and it raises an important question: What’s actually in your lipstick?
If you wear lip products daily (and reapply without thinking), you’re not just decorating your lips—you’re ingesting whatever’s inside. That’s why choosing non toxic lip safe ingredients is not only a “clean beauty” trend, it’s also a health decision.
At Savor Beauty, we believe that what you put on your lips should be as safe as what you put in your mouth.

What Are Lip-Safe Ingredients?
Many conventional lipsticks and balms are loaded with synthetic dyes, parabens, lead traces, and fragrance chemicals —ingredients never meant for consumption.
Lip-safe ingredients are non-toxic, clean, and often food-grade, meaning they’re safe for incidental ingestion. These include:
- Natural butters (like shea or cocoa)
- Plant-based oils (such as jojoba or castor)
- Mineral or fruit pigments for color
- Essential oils (in low concentrations)
- Vitamin-rich botanicals that nourish your skin—and your body
If you wouldn’t eat it, why wear it?
What’s Inside Savor Beauty’s Lip Tints?
Our organic lip balm tints are handcrafted with lip-safe, organic ingredients you can trust:
- Organic Castor Oil + Argan Oil → deeply moisturize and soften
- Organic Cocoa Butter + Beeswax → nourish and protect
- Organic Coconut Oil + Aloe Vera Oil → soothe and condition
- Organic Peppermint Oil + Organic Flavor → provide a refreshing, natural aroma
- Vitamin E → supports skin repair and provides antioxidant protection
For color, we use natural mineral pigments:
- Iron Oxides for vibrant, earthy tones
- Titanium Dioxide (non-nano) for brightness and opacity
- Mica for shimmer— ethically sourced for peace of mind
What we never use: synthetic dyes, lake pigments, petrochemicals, or artificial fragrances.

Why Non Toxic, Lip Safe Ingredients Matter
Think of switching to non toxic lip care as a daily detox decision. You may not be able to control everything you’re exposed to, but your lip routine is a simple, powerful place to start.
Choose lip products that:
- Do not contain synthetic dyes or lake pigments.
- Do not contain "fragrance".
- Do not contain parabens or sulfates.
Savor Beauty's non toxic lip care, uses only clean ingredients like castor oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax along with mineral-based pigments like iron oxide and mica. No synthetic dyes. No parabens. Just beautiful color that’s safe enough to (accidentally) eat.
