Description
The lip balm that finally made sense.
Born from a personal need and guided by cosmetic chemistry, this ultra-nourishing, water-free lip balm was created after years of dealing with lips that constantly felt dry, uncomfortable, and easily overwhelmed.
Formulated without water and with only barrier-supporting ingredients, it helps condition the lips, seal in moisture, and support long-lasting comfort, rather than providing short-lived relief that quickly fades.
If you’ve tried everything and still haven’t found a lip balm that feels like enough, this one may be worth a closer look.

What's in it & WHY
💋 Castor Seed Oil (Ricinus Communis)
Helps condition and soften the lips while supporting moisture retention for long lasting comfort. Naturally rich and glossy without feeling greasy, it forms a smooth, protective-feeling layer on the lips that helps keep them feeling soft, nourished, and comfortable, making it well suited to dry or easily sensitised lips.
🧴 Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
Are a lightweight, silky emollient that help soften and smooth the lips while supporting moisture retention. Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, they give the balm it's luxe glide and comfortable feel, helping lips feel nourished and hydrated without stickiness or heaviness.
🌿 Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia Cerifera Wax)
A plant-based wax that adds structure and a smooth, comfortable texture to the balm. Used as a vegan alternative to beeswax, it helps the formula stay solid, supports moisture retention, and creates a soft, non-sticky finish on the lips, making it well suited to dry or sensitive lips.
🌰 Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)
helps soften and condition the lips while supporting moisture balance and overall comfort. Naturally similar in feel to the skin’s own oils, this lightweight emollient helps keep lips smooth and comfortable without heaviness or stickiness, making it well suited to dry or easily overwhelmed lips.
🧈 Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)
Helps condition and soften the lips while supporting moisture retention and long-lasting comfort. Naturally rich in fatty acids, this creamy butter creates a soft, cushioning feel on the lips that helps keep them smooth, nourished, and comfortable, making it especially well suited to dry or easily sensitised lips.
🛡 Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Provides antioxidant properties that help protect the formula from oxidation while supporting lip comfort and a healthy looking appearance. Included to help maintain the freshness and stability of the balm over time, it also contributes to softer, more comfortable-feeling lips, particularly when they feel dry or easily overwhelmed.
You Ask, We Skin-cerely Answer
Click to expand the answers to your most glow-pressing questions
Skincare can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve answered the most common questions we get (with zero marketing spin) to help you shop smarter and skin better.
Q: Why does my Sweet dreams oil look a different colour?
Our Rosehip oil is a RAW Cold pressed botanical ingredient. As with all natural plant oils, slight variations in colour and texture can occur between batches. These variations are normal and do not affect the quality, performance , or formulation of the product.
The formula has not changed, and all batches meet the same quality specifications.
Q: What makes Emily Luise Skin different?
A: We’re founded by a cosmetic chemist who actually formulates the products. Everything is designed with sensitive, reactive skin in mind, no fluff, no filler, just thoughtful, results driven formulas.
Q: What does it mean to be “minimal ingredients”?
A: It means we only include what your skin actually needs, nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. Fewer ingredients can help reduce the risk of irritation and support a calmer, more balanced skin barrier.
Q: Why is the skin barrier important?
A: Your skin barrier is your face’s personal bodyguard. If it’s compromised, everything from redness to breakouts gets worse. Our products are designed to protect and strengthen it, so your skin stays happy, healthy, and glow-ready.
Q: What should I expect this brand to do for me?
A: Most people notice more even toned, glowier skin when and less irritation or flare ups. Our formulas are designed to support your barrier, so your skin can finally chill, heal, and do what it’s meant to. No false promises, just real results with consistent use.
Q: What does being hypoallergenic mean?
A: It means the product is formulated with the goal of being less likely to cause an allergic reaction. We prioritise minimal, purposeful ingredient lists and avoid common irritants wherever possible, especially for sensitive or reactive skin.
(But remember, nothing is 100% allergy-proof, not even your favourite oat milk.)
Some products contain naturally occurring botanical ingredients.

The Skin That Started It All
I was 33, fed up, and hiding behind makeup. Nothing worked, so I went deep on the science and made my own. Now in my late 30s, my skin’s never been better. Emily Luise Skin is proof that it’s never too late to fix your skin and finally feel good in it.
I started using Emily Luise’s Sweet Dreams Face Oil a few weeks ago, and I can honestly say it's the best decision I’ve made for my skin. I have always struggled with dull, uneven skin texture and occasional redness, but this oil has completely transformed my complexion. From the first application, it felt like a luxury spa treatment at home lightweight, non-greasy, and the delicate floral scent instantly calmed my senses.

Sensitive skin & Vegan
Test tubes > tears. Hypoallergenic by design. Every formula is designed to be kind to even the crankiest skin, no added fragrances, no nasties, no animal by-products. We patch-test, triple-check, and keep our INCI lists short so your skin stays calm, not chaotic. Science meets softness.
* Some products contain naturally occurring botanical ingredients.

No Bunnies No Bullshit
Animal testing is banned in Australia, and frankly, outdated across most of the world. So why do we still say cruelty-free? Because not everyone knows that. And until they do, we're shouting it loud and clear.
We test only on willing humans (mostly ourselves) and formulate with ethics, not marketing fluff. Because being kind isn't a trend, it's the baseline. -
Minimal Ingredients
Fewer ingredients. Fewer reactions. More results. We choose each component like it’s going to a dinner party, only the most functional, well-mannered ingredients make the guest list. No fillers, no fluff, just straight-up efficacy with every pump.

Australian made
Formulated, filled and loved right here in Australia. Our products are built for real skin, real climates, and real results, with a bit of Aussie grit and scientific wit thrown in. Homegrown and high-performing.
What ingredient do you think is underestimated the most?
Niacinamide works quietly over time to actually improve skin function—regulating oil, strengthening the barrier, reducing redness, and evening tone. But because it takes a few weeks to show, people give up before it shines.
