Why we're a women's health company first and a beauty company second

With all of us using more and more products every day, it’s more important than ever to consider how they may affect our health.


As a father, this became personal for me when my daughter began experimenting with beauty products. I learned about the many harmful chemicals they contained and how disruptive those chemicals could be to her health.

With Avenella, we set out to create something that we couldn’t find in the beginning of our journey - a beauty company truly dedicated to the health and well-being of girls like my daughter.

Because no girl, and no woman, should ever have to choose between exploring beauty and protecting her health.

We hope Avenella can be the thoughtful, caring choice that our girls - and all women - deserve.

What makes us different

We believe beauty should never come at a cost to your health or the planet. That’s why we’ve gone above and beyond to create lip balms free of potentially harmful ingredients like synthetic dyes and fragrances, all while packaging them in sustainable, sugarcane-based tubes, helping us avoid single-use plastics.

Paraben and Phthalate-Free

Carefully crafted without parabens or phthalates, often linked to hormone disruption, our lip balms provide a safe and gentle option for everyday use.

Synthetic Fragrance-Free

Instead of synthetic fragrances, we use natural botanical oils and extracts to deliver subtle, beautiful scents that prioritize safety and transparency.

Synthetic Dye-Free

Infused with vibrant vegetable and fruit extracts, our lip balms are free from artificial dyes, which have been linked to potential health concerns and sensitivities.

SLS/SLES-Free

Free from harsh sulfates, our balms are gentle and safe for even the most delicate lips.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free

Crafted without animal by-products and never tested on animals, we’re committed to clean beauty that’s kind to all.

Plant-Based Packaging

Our eco-friendly lip balm tubes are made from sugarcane, a renewable and sustainable resource, providing a cleaner alternative to single-use plastics and helping to reduce environmental impact.

Made in the USA

Proudly crafted in small batches in the USA, ensuring the highest quality and safety standards.

We'll never hide what's inside

Because when your ingredients are petroleum-free, natural, and safe, there's no need to. So forget the fine print, we're shouting about each and every one of our ingredients from the rooftops!

Castor Oil

Rich in fatty acids, castor oil is a powerhouse ingredient that helps lock in moisture, leaving lips soft, smooth, and hydrated. Its natural emollient properties make it the perfect base for long-lasting lip care.

Mango Butter

A natural treasure for hydration, mango butter is packed with vitamins A and C, delivering deep nourishment and a silky, non-greasy feel. Its creamy texture creates a protective barrier that soothes and smooths dry or chapped lips.

Jojoba Oil

This lightweight yet deeply nourishing oil is uniquely similar to your skin's natural hydration system, making it ideal for balancing moisture. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, jojoba oil helps keep lips soft, smooth, and perfectly moisturized without feeling heavy.

Hyaluronic Acid

Known for its incredible ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid is your go-to ingredient for plump, hydrated lips. It works by attracting and locking in moisture, ensuring your lips stay supple and smooth all day.

Vitamin E

This antioxidant superstar helps protect lips from environmental stressors while soothing and repairing dryness. Vitamin E supports the skin’s natural barrier and enhances the longevity of your lip balm’s hydration.

Organic Vanilla Bean Extract

Our vanilla extract comes from hand-pollinated vanilla beans, grown in tropical regions and carefully processed to preserve their rich, natural aroma. Unlike synthetic fragrances, our vanilla is the real deal - pure, luxurious, and crafted to bring a touch of indulgence to every application.

Rose Petal Extract

Our rose oil is derived from hand-picked petals of roses grown in the lush fields of Turkey, Bulgaria, and Morocco. Carefully extracted to capture its delicate aroma and skin-nourishing benefits, this luxurious oil brings a soft, natural fragrance that feels fresh, uplifting, and effortlessly elegant.

Beetroot and Radish Extracts

This unique combination of beetroot and radish extracts imparts a soft pink hue to our lip balm while delivering a burst of antioxidants to help combat free radicals. Known for their nourishing and revitalizing properties, these extracts also work to soothe and protect your lips.
