Clean ingredients are especially important when it comes to our lips because it’s been shown that we consume much of whatever we put on our lips—and that our skin absorbs some of it, too.

So we made a fantastic clean lip balm—which instantly became an all-time goop bestseller. Next we added clean pigments to the formula to make flattering, sheer lip tints that work for every skin tone; today, there are five shades. “Tinted balms are my absolute favorite way to wear lip color,” says Gwyneth. “There are times when you need a full-on capital-L lipstick, but for me, those times are thankfully few and far between. I love an easy bit of color that brightens up your whole face.”

You can buy the balms individually, or we make two different sets of three full-size balms. In each, you get two tinted balms and one clear. The sets come a gentle price, and they make a fantastic gift, too. “I love presents,” says Gwyneth. “Gifts are my love language—both giving and getting.”

The balms also feel incredible on your lips: cushy, hydrating, and nourishing, with the creamiest slip, the smoothest finish, a subtle scent, and just a whisper of a taste. “Your senses engage with whatever you put on your lips,” Gwyneth says. “Getting the original right was the hardest thing—it took us three years. Putting beautiful color into it was definitely the fun part.”

7 of Gwyneth’s Favorites

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the lip balm trio is at the top of Gwyneth’s list (she particularly loves the one that contains Tomato). “I made the switch to clean when I started learning what was in some of the conventional products I loved,” she says. “They allow everything from chemicals with the potential to disrupt our hormones to antifreeze in beauty products. And you don’t need them—the best in clean now is just the best in beauty, period.”
