Our Story
Paperlip was born out of a need and curiosity for a lip balm that is simple, genuine and effective. The products that were already out there just did not hit the mark which led us to make our own.
We dove right into researching everything to do with lip balm - from different natural butters to oils to waxes. What started as a fun project quickly turned into an educational journey as we learned so much about the products we use everyday, especially the ones we use on our skin.
After mixing and testing different combinations of ingredients, we formulated a great blend of standout ingredients that create a fabulous harmony of protection and nourishment for your lips. Simple, natural and good - Paperlip came to life.
Our Commitment
At Paperlip, we are committed to using only high quality ingredients - no nasties, no fillers. What you see on the ingredients list is what you get, made locally and in small batches.
Our commitment to the planet goes beyond the balm. We’re proud to use recyclable and biodegradable packaging, ensuring that our impact on the Earth is as gentle as our products are on your lips. For us, sustainability isn’t just a choice; it’s a way to honour the planet that provides us with the natural resources we celebrate.
This is why we support the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) and commit a portion of our profits to their awesome cause. See our Giving Back page to find out more about them.
