Welcome to Phatstix
Phatstix was born out of a personal need and has grown into something I'm truly proud of. After two decades in the beauty industry, I've seen trends come and go, but the need for effective, no-nonsense skincare remains constant.
This isn't just another lip balm. It's the result of countless formulations, late nights, and a stubborn refusal to settle for 'good enough'. Every Phatstix represents a commitment to quality, honesty, and genuine care for skin.
I'm not here to make grand promises or sell you a lifestyle. What I wanted to offer is a product that works, plain and simple. Your feedback and experiences are crucial in this journey. Phatstix may have started with my chapped lips, but its future is shaped by every person who twists open a fresh, chunky tube.
– Thom Watson, Founder
Quality First
Phatstix is serious about formulations. Backed by science, expertise and every batch meets high standards – produced in England.
Upfront Honesty
No inflated claims or pseudoscience. Just straightforward products that do what they say they'll do and ingredients with purpose.
Fair Pricing
Quality skincare shouldn't break the bank. We price our products fairly, focusing on value rather than inflated, premium markups.
Why Phatstix?
What sets Phatstix apart in the world of lip care is genuinely effective simplicity and quality – without ego, pretention or greed.
Phatstix delivers a triple threat: it's nourishing, conditioning, and protective. No unnecessary additives or petrochemicals - just ingredients you can trust. It's a lip balm that actually does what it promises, without the marketing fluff often used to conceal poor formulations and horrid ingredient shortcuts.
Size matters too. At 30g, I wanted Phatstix to be generously proportioned – like an EOS on steroids. Not a tiny tube with a pathetic amount of product that disappears into the void of your bag or gets lost in the washing machine.
Then there's the price. Quality skincare shouldn't require a second mortgage. Phatstix offers premium care at a fair price, because everyone deserves comfortable lips without the luxury markup. At £22, Phatstix are gram for gram cheaper than even the cheaper end of the market (30% cheaper than Burt’s).
At its core, Phatstix is the result of genuine frustration turned into action. It's not just another product on the shelf; it's a solution to a real problem, created with care and a healthy touch of stubbornness.
The Ingredients
Phatstix is built on quality, simplicity, and effectiveness. Each ingredient is carefully selected for its nourishing, conditioning, and protective properties.
Featuring Beeswax, Shea and Raspberry Seed Oil, the formula is rounded out with sunflower, jojoba, almond, and grapeseed oils, plus cocoa and mango butters – that’s it and nothing else.
No artificial preservatives, fragrances, or flavours are used. The natural properties of the ingredients themselves provide all the necessary benefits and preservation.
Phatstix demonstrates that a carefully curated selection of natural ingredients can deliver superior performance without unnecessary additives.
