The Detour Co Better Barrier Lip Balm

Lip Balm For Loveable Lips

$16.00
Details

Soft. Supple. Strong.

*Lip balms are temporarily out of stock while we wait for a large shipment of the biodegradable tubes. They will be back in stock by the end of January 2026. Thank you for all of your support this season!*

Crafted with nourishing, vitamin-rich oils and a generous dose of beeswax, this balm melts into your lips while forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture and keeps the elements out. The result? Healthier, softer lips.

Why It’s a Game-Changer:

  • 0.5 oz biodegradable paperboard tube = twice the size of your standard lip balm (yes, it lasts 6+ months!)

  • Soft enough to glide on, strong enough to stay put

  • Packed with oils your lips love, plus beeswax to protect and repair

  • Sustainable packaging made from 100% recycled paperboard—compostable, biodegradable, and plastic-free

This balm isn’t just for lips either. Swipe it on chapped cheeks, surprise pimples, or dry cuticles—especially when you're out in the elements and need a quick fix.

Pick-Me-Up Peppermint —refreshing without being overpowering. 

This is the lip balm that makes you wonder why you ever settled for less.

New pricing at $16.00 goes into effect January 1st 2026.

Ingredients

Distilled water, Magnesium chloride, essential oils: frankincense, howood, tangerine, lavender.

How to Use

The biodegradable tube works by pushing up from the bottom. It will come out the top. Apply generously and enjoy more luscious lips!

Other uses

I like to habit stack so I can create routines I don’t have to think very hard about. I use this lip balm every morning after brushing my teeth. Once per day and never a dry lip in sight. Other uses: On wind-whipped cheeks. Sopt treatment/Blemish balm. Back of the neck for headache or hot flash. You’ll want one in lunchboxes, winter coat pockets, diaper bags, purses—anywhere dry skin might show up uninvited.

The Story Behind our Lip Balm

Nothing fancy here! I started a skincare brand and making a lip balm seemed like an easy element to add to the product lineup. I’m sure I was asked about it a few dozen times before I made it (I have a tendency to need encouragement). Somehow I knocked it out of the park. I don’t think there’s ever been a formulation change. It came together and it’s been a big hit (All year round) ever since.

Just like our skincare products, we do emails a little differently. More intentionally. A less-is-more kind of approach.
