Inside Bondi Kiss Lip Balm: Ingredients Breakdown
Wondering, “What’s inside Bondi Kiss lip balm?” The wait is over. We’re breaking down all of our ingredients so you know exactly what you’re getting and how it can benefit you.
First, let’s talk about the big ingredients, the key ingredients that set our lip balms apart: Manuka honey, coconut, and salted caramel.
Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. It’s one of nature’s richest antimicrobial sources and has been used medicinally for thousands of years. We love it in our lip balm because it’s packed full of tremendous nutritional and immune-boosting abilities. Its nutritional profile includes:
Coconut
Not only is coconut a great flavour, but it also has many impressive health benefits. Coconut is one of the richest sources of saturated fat, which can have many positive effects on your body. Coconut can help break down harmful pathogens to prevent infections, and it’s great for your skin. Studies have shown that coconut can help improve the moisture and fat content of the skin while also protecting against the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays.
Salted Caramel
You might not think that salted caramel has any benefits beyond flavour, but that’s not quite true. The sea salt in our salted caramel lip balm is a natural detoxifier. Salt helps absorb toxins in the skin for healthier and softer lips. Plus, sea salt is full of vital vitamins and minerals, which are required for providing proper nourishment to our skin cells. These nutrients even improve hydration and boost blood circulation.

But, what about all the other ingredients in our lip balm? Don’t worry; we’re looking at all of our ingredients.
