Whether you are looking to design one sturdy lip balm stick, a whole lip balm range, or just starting out making your own line of lip balms, Koster Keunen has your back. We are pleased to offer our new Natural Lip Balm Base, just the thing to set your lip emollients up for success.

What’s Your Structure?

Every product line has signature textures, structures that give the feel that appeals to those who seek out your brand among the many options available. Natural Lip Balm Base puts you on the fast track to formulating lip balms that meet the current trends. Your actives in our versatile base? A match made to glide into the marketplace. And you don’t have to choose only one texture: choose your chassis; choose the level of firmness; formulate! Natural Lip Balm Base lets you choose the smooth, soft texture of lip balm in a pot or the easy glide of a stick balm that holds up to a variety of environments.

Example Formulas: Options are Open!

With a unique combination of structuring and plasticizing waxes, Koster Keunen’s new Natural Lip Balm Base lets you get right in the driver’s seat with your formulation. If your markets are nicely niche or seasonally changing, our proprietary blend of waxes puts you in the fast lane to shaping your systems to meet requirements that vary. Our example formulas demonstrate ways to utilize additional natural oils at differing levels to compose exactly the structure you seek.
