A non-sticky lip balm in a slim twist-up stick — designed for the in-between moments. The commute, the desk drawer, the touch-up before the next thing. Pocket-sized, easy to find at the bottom of a bag.
Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and the patented L22™ lipid complex do the actual work: deep hydration, visible plumping, barrier repair. The oil-dispersed hyaluronic acid penetrates the lip rather than sitting on top. Clinical results at 1% HA show a 90% instant hydration boost, an 8.5% lip volume increase at one hour, and a 26.1% sustained hydration increase after 28 days. The L22™ lipid complex — a patented mixture of macadamia, jojoba, and squalane — delivers the exact ratio of fatty acids your skin barrier prefers, which is why this balm absorbs cleanly rather than sliding off.
Handmade to order in Toronto by a chemical engineer. 6g / 0.2 oz.
Available in three flavors: Naturale (unflavored, unscented), Amaretti (warm almond and vanilla), and Rosa (a pH-reactive balm that goes on clear and develops a personalized pink shade based on the natural pH of your lips — different on every person).
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Three distinct flavor options: Naturale for those who layer or prefer no scent at all; Amaretti for warm almond-vanilla; Rosa for a pH-reactive tint that gives each person their own custom pink.
- L22™ lipid complex: a patented blend of macadamia, jojoba, and squalane oils, formulated to mirror the exact lipid ratio of healthy skin. Supports barrier function, hydration, and smoothness in a way conventional lip oils can't.
- Oil-dispersed hyaluronic acid: penetrates the lip rather than sitting on top. Clinically tested at 1% — 90% instant hydration boost, 8.5% lip volume increase in one hour, 26.1% hydration increase after 28 days.
- Stable, oil-soluble vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate): boosts lip hydration, enhances circulation, amplifies the skin's own hyaluronic acid production.
- Ultra-pure biomimetic lanolin, kukui seed oil, and sunflower wax: nourish, repair, and protect even the driest lips.
- Smooth, non-sticky finish: cushions on contact and stays soft for hours without constant reapplication.
- Twist-up stick format: designed for portability and one-handed application.
- Handmade to order by a chemical engineer in Toronto.
NOTES
Naturale: unflavored, unscented — the formula at its most direct.
Amaretti: warm almond and vanilla — gourmand without being overwhelming.
Rosa: pH-reactive — goes on clear, develops a personalized pink shade within seconds. No two people get the same color.

THE BRAND
Everyday Chemist is a Canadian skincare brand with a tagline that explains everything: handmade by engineers. The brand operates out of its own lab (EC Studios), where formulations are developed in-house with the same rigor a pharmaceutical engineer would apply to a precision instrument — clinical actives, evidence-based ingredients, results measured against third-party testing. The aesthetic restraint of the packaging matches the methodology: nothing decorative, nothing extra, every choice justified by the formula inside. The products work because they were built to.
