Sunnyvale, California, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth's Daughter has released findings from its analysis of peer reviewed dermatology studies showing that plant based oils and butters in tinted lip balm formulations deliver hydration comparable to petroleum based products. The analysis comes as consumer demand for clean beauty alternatives continues to grow, particularly in lip care products that are frequently ingested.
Earth's Daughter's Tinted Lip Balm 4-Pack
The California based brand's research review examined clinical studies on coconut oil, beeswax, castor oil and cocoa butter; the core ingredients in Earth's Daughter's Tinted Lip Balm 4-Pack. According to the analysis, these natural ingredients reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) as effectively as petroleum based lip products while also supporting the skin's natural barrier through fatty acids and antioxidants.
"Independent dermatology research consistently shows that natural oils and waxes provide genuine hydration benefits without petroleum or synthetic additives," said Mike Weimar, spokesperson for Earth's Daughter. "Our tinted lip balm line was formulated based on this science."
A 2004 study in the International Journal of Dermatology found that virgin coconut oil reduced TEWL and improved hydration comparably to mineral oil. Peer reviewed dermatologic writing on cocoa derived topical systems notes that cocoa butter can function as an occlusive agent, placing a lipid rich layer over skin that decreases TEWLA. Research in Dermatitis (2017) concluded that beeswax based balms retain water longer than petroleum based formulations.
Consumer preference data shows a decisive shift toward clean ingredients. A 2022 Mintel study found that 68 percent of lip care users prefer products free of synthetic chemicals, particularly for items applied near the mouth. A 2023 NPD Group report documented that 74 percent of consumers now prefer lip care products with natural or recognizable ingredients.
Earth's Daughter's Tinted Lip Balm 4-Pack includes four shades; Crimson, Pink Champagne, Shimmer, and Plum, formulated with beeswax, coconut oil, cocoa butter, and vitamin E. The balms provide buildable color alongside lasting moisture without synthetic pigments or petroleum. The 4-pack retails for $9.95 and has become a popular affordable stocking stuffer and gift for women seeking clean beauty products during the holiday season.
"It's a thoughtful, affordable gift that introduces people to clean beauty," Weimar said. "Women appreciate receiving products they'll actually use and these deliver moisture and color without compromise."
