Fat and the Moon Lip & Cheek Stain is a plant-based tint for lips and cheeks, for people seeking minimal-ingredient, non-toxic color in low-waste, recyclable packaging. It is suited to those who prioritize organic botanicals, ethical sourcing, and small-batch, handmade production. This 0.5 fl oz stain's ingredients include Alkanet Root (Alkanna tinctoria), organic Sunflower Oil (Helianthus annuus), and Beeswax (Cera alba). Alkanet Root provides the rich, wine-red/blackberry hue and herbaceous, earthy scent. Sunflower oil creates a conditioning base that helps the stain spread smoothly on lips and the apples of the cheeks, while beeswax contributes to texture and adherence on the skin. The formula reflects Fat and the Moon’s “always non-toxic” philosophy and relies on plant-based color and scent rather than synthetic dyes or synthetic fragrance. Fat and the Moon formulates with organically cultivated and ethically and safely wildcrafted plants, and intentionally avoids “toxins that make things last forever,” so this product has a shelf life of about 6 months and should be stored in a cool, dry place. Each Lip & Cheek Stain is handmade and hand shipped by a small team under one roof in Nevada City, California. Packaging is designed for reduced waste: the stain comes in a reusable, recyclable aluminum tin; the label is printed on 100% post-consumer waste material with compostable ink; and the outer carton is made from post-consumer waste paper and is recyclable after use.
