The Benefits of a Large Natural Lip Balm
Let's face it — when it comes to lip care, we've been sold short. Literally.
Those skinny tubes might look cute, but they run out faster than your motivation in February. Even worse? Half the time they're full of things you'd struggle to pronounce, let alone want near your mouth.
Phatstix was created to flip the script — a natural lip balm that's actually big enough to last, and smart enough to do more than just lips. Here's why size and ingredients matter and why Phatstix is bigger and phatter than the biggest, phattest English breakfast Giraffe had to offer 😆
🌿 100% Natural Ingredients That Actually Do Something
We're not in the business of filler. Every ingredient in Phatstix earns its place — no nasties, no parabens, no "what even is that?" preservatives. Just:
-
Beeswax: Forms a protective, breathable barrier (and yes, we're on the hunt for a UK-sourced supply)
-
Shea Butter: Ethically sourced from Ghanaian cooperatives; packed with vitamins A & E
-
Raspberry Seed Oil: Rich in antioxidants and Vitamin A for gentle skin renewal
-
Mango, Cocoa & Almond: For softness, richness and hydration without the greasiness
-
Jojoba, Grapeseed & Sunflower Oils: Lightweight, nourishing and fast-absorbing
💬 "I'm autistic and packaging/texture really matters to me — this balm feels like it was made by someone who actually gets it."
– Marie, Verified Reviewer
It's everything you want in a lip balm — and nothing you don't.
💛 Natural Doesn't Have to Mean Tiny
So many "natural" products skimp on quantity — as if being clean means being minimal to the point of useless. Not here.
At 30g, Phatstix delivers:
-
12+ months of use
-
Better value per gram than even the cheaper end of the market
-
Less packaging, fewer replacements, and fewer tubes heading to landfill
💬 "This balm has changed my routine. I used to burn through 5+ balms a year. Now I've had one Phatstix for months and it's still going."
– Tom, Verified Reviewer
🧴 More Than a Lip Balm
We're not just lip-deep. Phatstix is a full-on multi-use balm for faces, fingers, elbows, heels — and anywhere else in need of TLC.
💬 "I've been using it on dry patches on my face. It's working, and it's not greasy — bonus!"
– Melanie
💬 "I use it before aquarobics on my hands and face. It's protective but washes off cleanly."
– Alison
💬 "I got it for my lips and ended up using it on my tattoos, cheeks and even my sore nose. I'm obsessed."
– Rachel
♻️ Smarter Packaging, Made to Last
Sure, it's plastic — but it's the kind that's sturdy, recyclable, and used responsibly. We've skipped the compostable mush tubes and metal tins that crack, leak, or feel like a DIY nightmare.
Our packaging isn't perfect (yet), but it is:
-
Tough as nails (we've tested it — scissors, tiles, you name it)
-
Designed to last a year, not a week
-
Recyclable through in-store cosmetics schemes
-
From trusted manufacturers with lower MOQs to reduce waste
💬 "It's a proper multitasker in the bag. And at 30g it feels made for the job."
– Alison (again – she gets it)
🙅 No Petrochemicals, No Perfume, No Nonsense
-
No menthol tingle
-
No glossy sheen
-
No weird fake fruit scent
💬 "I've had perioral eczema and can't use most balms. This one? No reaction. Just relief."
– Nicky
💬 "My old balm started making my lips more sore. Phatstix works — and it doesn't taste like chemicals."
– Marie (yes, again — she's basically a spokesperson at this point)
It's Not Just Big. It's Brilliant.
Phatstix proves that you can have it all:
✅ A balm that's big enough to last
✅ Clean, natural ingredients
✅ Multi-use practicality
✅ A texture that people actually like
✅ And packaging that respects your intelligence
