Lip Balms, Masks, & Scrubs - What's the Difference?

At Cult of Bees, we see lip care as a cycle. Each formula is built on the same foundation of all-natural waxes, butters, and oils, tuned into a different balance depending on what your lips need most.

Lip balms are our daily companions. With more beeswax and butters, they hold a firm, structured shape that feels neat and steady on the lips. That extra structure makes them pocket-friendly, weather-resistant, and easy to swipe on wherever the day takes you—all while repairing and protecting with our blend of pure, purposeful ingredients.

Lip masks share the same DNA but lean further into oils. With less wax and more emollient richness, they go on gauzy and indulgent, melting quickly into the skin. They’re designed for deeper soaking repair. 

Our Ewe-phoria! Lip Mask blends beeswax, lanolin, mango and shea butters, and bright red raspberry seed oil—a balance of intensity and freshness designed for deeper repair by night and light wear by day.

Lip scrubs round out the cycle. Gentle exfoliation clears away dry, flaky skin so lips can drink in hydration more fully. Our upcoming Plantasmic Lip Scrub will bring this step into the line—botanical, tactile, and made to renew.

Balms, masks, and scrubs aren’t competitors. They’re companions—each tuned by ratio, texture, and purpose.

Together, they create a simple, intentional rhythm of care.
