Byredo expands its beauty offerings with a new line of Lip Care Balms, combining the brand’s sensorial approach to fragrance with a fresh take on tinted lip hydration. Known for its cult perfumes and minimalist packaging, Byredo enters the lip balm category with a product designed to feel as indulgent as its best-selling scents. The launch includes five satin-finish shades housed in refillable tubes and formulated with natural vegan ingredients for daily use.

The Lip Care Balm aims to deliver up to 24 hours of hydration through a formula that includes castor seed oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. These ingredients are selected for their ability to soften and moisturize without leaving a greasy residue, offering a lightweight texture that wears comfortably. Designed to enhance the feel of application, the balm adds a layer of pleasure to an otherwise routine gesture. In true Byredo fashion, the experience is multisensory. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette developed a signature scent for the balm that includes notes of red fruits, powdery florals, and vanilla cream. This fragrant element brings a subtle sophistication, adding another dimension to the product beyond its pigment and texture.
The five shades cover a range of moods and preferences. “Chromophobia” delivers a sheer, colorless finish that suits low-maintenance routines. “Celeste Nostalgia” offers a coral red hue for a livelier effect, while “Chain Reaction” adjusts to the wearer’s pH, creating a personalized pink tint. “Cloud Bursting” is a soft mauve berry, and “Fantome Rapture” leans into a warm nudey brown for a more neutral option. Each balm can be applied lightly for a natural tint or layered for a stronger, more noticeable color payoff.
Retailing at £48 GBP, approximately $55 USD, the Lip Care Balm is available now on Byredo’s website. While refills are not yet available, they are expected to follow, reinforcing the product’s reusable design and positioning it as a more sustainable alternative in the lip care category. With this launch, Byredo continues to blur the line between makeup and self-expression, inviting beauty lovers to enjoy color, moisture, and scent in one concise product. The Lip Care Balm is not just another makeup item—it’s an extension of the brand’s immersive beauty philosophy.
