Lake Michigan Lip Balm: A Best-Selling Breezy Eucalyptus Swipe
Save
Our Lavender Lake Michigan Lip Balm is a fresh, breezy swipe of our home lake. It pairs lavender with crisp eucalyptus, glides on smooth and keeps lips comfortable on beach days, boat days and snowy days alike. It is also a best seller, which we take as proof that Michiganders know a good lake when they smell one.
Why it sells
A few reasons come up again and again:
- It smells clean. Eucalyptus is fresh and green, and lavender softens it.
- It works for anyone. Not sweet, not fruity, not woodsy, just fresh.
- It fits every season. Beach towel in July, snow pants in January.
- It is our home lake. Lake Michigan sits just west of the farm, and the name means something to anyone who has spent a summer on its beaches.
- It is easy to share. A fresh scent is a safe bet when you are buying for someone else.
A year on the big lake
| Season | Where the tube rides along |
|---|---|
| Spring | Jacket pocket for windy pier walks |
| Summer | Beach bag or boat bag, kept out of the sun |
| Fall | Hoodie pocket for football games and orchard trips |
| Winter | Coat pocket for shoveling and sledding hills |
In summer, keep it shaded. A tube left on a hot dashboard or beach towel will soften, though it sets back up once it cools.
Part of the Great Lakes set
Lake Michigan is one of five Great Lakes balms. The others pair lavender with spearmint (Erie), cedarwood (Huron), frankincense (Ontario) and pine (Superior). If you like Lake Michigan's freshness, Lake Erie is its closest cousin.
Gifting
It is a favorite stocking stuffer and party favor, and an easy add-on for anyone who loves the lakeshore. Pair it with the Lake Michigan body butter or essential oil for a matching set, or browse our gifts page for more ideas.
