Hurraw! Balm

Every fall, the same seasonal checklist runs its course: the first pumpkin spice latte of the season, a cinnamon sugar donut from the farmers market, and a flannel comes out the second the temperature drops.  Shoppers know what they want, and smart retailers get there first. Hurraw! Balm's lineup of thoughtfully crafted products made with organic vegetarian lip balm ingredients already has a following, and these four cooler-weather flavors deserve a spot on that checklist. Plus, autumn weather brings new seasonal drops, like the Pumpkin Spice Lip Balm coming to a checkout counter near you this October.  Check out what’s new from Hurraw!

Lip balm shopping should be simple: check the price, choose a flavor, and you’re done. But if you’ve ever stood in front of a shelf full of tubes and wondered what separates a good vegetarian lip balm from the crowd, you know it’s not always as easy as popping the first option you see into your hand basket. A little lip balm investigation turns a five-second grab into a choice you, the new lip balm detective, can feel great about. Trust the Oils Vegan lip balms swap beeswax for plant-based waxes such as candelilla. The ingredient list may look different from what you’d typically see, but you’re definitely not missing out. This is an upgrade. Nourishing plant oils and butters coat and seal in moisture, and a well-formulated moisturizing lip balm vegan option leaves your lips hydrated without a heavy, waxy finish. There’s also enough shine to skip the lip gloss, but not so much that your lip balm feels like makeup. Look Up the Brand A brand's website is usually right at your fin...

A shopper doing one last pass before checkout rarely plans to add anything to their basket. Small, inexpensive items near the register have a way of changing that plan, and lip balm is a consistent example in natural grocery and co-op aisles. Here’s what makes customers grab a product with organic vegan lip balm ingredients off the shelf. TL;DR Running out of lip balm sends shoppers straight to whatever sits closest to the register. Parents shopping for a teen want a natural option that doesn’t require research. An unexpected flavor is often the difference between browsing and buying. A short, quality ingredient list is enough to win over a skeptical shopper. Discovering real sun protection in a lip balm turns a small purchase into a repeat one. 1. Running Low on Lip Balm Lip balm gets used up quickly, and most shoppers don’t realize they’re out until they’re standing in a checkout line and it suddenly clicks. Restocking is one of the most common reasons customers grab a new tube of...

When people apply sun protection, they pay close attention to their shoulders, noses, and the tops of their ears to avoid sunburn. Their lips? Not so much. While sunscreen is a beach-bag must, a lip balm with SPF, well, it didn’t get the memo, that is, until someone’s lips start peeling. That's not a customer problem: It’s a merchandising gap, and one your store is positioned to close. The Sun Care Routine That Skips the Lips Here’s the truth: Lips get some of the most direct, near-constant sun exposure of anywhere on the body…and almost none of the protection. They're thinner than the surrounding skin, don't tan or build resistance the way skin does, and lip care rarely makes it into the sun care conversation at all.  That's less about habits and more about what's currently on the shelf. Oftentimes, there’s face and body sunscreen and a rotating case of flavored lip balm, with nothing in between. It's exactly the kind of gap a well-placed display ca...

You’re finally doing it. You’re stocking lip balm. People are always asking about it at the register; they need something to smack on those chapped lips. You want to direct them toward a product they’re going to love. You’ve read that it should be all-natural, vegetarian, vegan, etc., etc., etc. But what does it all mean?  What Is a Vegetarian Lip Balm?  Most lip balms are vegetarian-friendly. When it comes to a true “vegetarian” lip balm, you want to ensure it contains no animal products like tallow or animal byproducts that involve harming the animal. Though less stringent than vegan options, a product like a vegetarian tinted lip balm is sure to appeal to a large customer demographic (and some of the best brands offer products that are both vegetarian and vegan). What Is a Vegan Lip Balm? A vegan lip balm is the ideal product to stock at the front of the store. You don’t have to worry about beeswax, lanolin, or any ingredients derived from animals. These lip...

One of the best things you can see in the mirror on date night is a pair of smooth, soft lips. Dry lips interfere with a good time, and your own dry lips can give you the ick. That’s just one of the many reasons to moisturize your lips in the days and hours leading up to your date. Say Goodbye to Chapped Lips It may go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: Chapped lips are so uncomfortable. Once they’re chapped, it takes time to smooth your lips out again. Apply lip balm regularly before your date. Even if there’s no date on the calendar, you should use a product with organic vegetarian lip balm ingredients that’s made for daily care. Feel Self-Assured in Your Smoothness Lip balm is the key to confidence. Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch, but it definitely helps you feel assured in how smooth your lips look and feel. Find a vegan flavored tinted lip balm so your lips look smooth while adding a hint of color for the occasion. Enjoy Food Without the Sting Have you ever t...
