Ingredients
Botanical Oils
Organic Apricot Kernel Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Sweet Almond Oil, Organic Marula Oil & Olive-Derived Squalane
We use carefully selected botanical oils throughout our balms, including organic apricot kernel, jojoba, sweet almond, and marula oils. Olive-derived squalane adds a lightweight, silky feel to our lip balms. Each oil is chosen for its quality, texture, and the way it works within the finished balm.
Butters
Unrefined Shea Butter & Natural Cacao Butter
We use unrefined shea butter sourced from Nigeria and natural cacao butter made from Peruvian cacao beans. Shea butter gives our Everywhere Balm its rich, balanced texture, while cacao butter brings natural cocoa character and a smooth, creamy feel to our Orange Cream, Cocoa Mint, and Mocha Coffee Cream balms.
Unfiltered Beeswax
Our unfiltered beeswax is sourced from Northern Alberta, Canada, far from commercial farming and industrial development. The wax is collected from hive frames without harming the bees, then separated from the honey and formed into blocks. Because it remains unfiltered, each batch retains its natural character, including subtle variations in color, aroma, and appearance.
Jars, Tins & Sticks
We use premium violet glass for both our full-size balms and Mocha Coffee Cream mini lip balm jars. Designed to help protect light-sensitive ingredients, the glass is durable, reusable, and made to be enjoyed long after the balm is gone.
Our travel tins and Cocoa Mint twist-up sticks offer convenient options that slip easily into a pocket, purse, or travel bag. Our twist-up sticks are made with BPA-free polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics.
Why We Started
Blue Cove Botanicals started with one simple goal: to make a balm we truly wanted to use.
Suzanne wanted a balm made with carefully chosen ingredients, but even the products we liked never felt quite right. Some were too soft, others too firm, and many contained ingredients we would have preferred to avoid. So we decided to make our own.
As time went on, we created different versions for ourselves. Suzanne preferred a firmer balm, while Matthew liked a softer one. The balm we offer today is the result of countless small adjustments and falls right in the middle: rich enough to protect, yet still smooth and easy to apply.
We took great care in choosing every ingredient and supplier, always searching for the highest quality we could find. Not every ingredient is certified organic, but each one was selected intentionally based on its quality, sourcing, and performance.
As friends and family began trying our balms, we found ourselves giving away more and more jars. What started as a personal project gradually became something larger. Sharing our balms with others made us realize we had created something special, and we loved the idea of building something together - a product we genuinely use, believe in, and are proud to share.
Today, we still make every jar of Blue Cove Botanicals balm in small batches, with the same care and attention that went into those very first jars we made for ourselves.
