Sugar

What is Sugar?

Sugar is more than sweetness. At its core, it’s sucrose — a crystalline union of glucose and fructose. We use La Perruche, a French heritage brand celebrated for its rough-cut amber cubes. These crystals carry a trace of molasses and a natural sparkle.

The Benefits

Sugar crystals provide gentle mechanical exfoliation, buffing away dry skin without harshness. The touch of molasses adds humectant qualities, helping lips hold onto moisture, while sugar’s natural glycolic acid content supports a polished finish. A balance of coarse and fine crystals matters: larger grains offer satisfying texture, finer ones melt into the oils for a smoother, more conditioning feel.

Why We Love It

We don’t simply add sugar as an afterthought — we hand-grind each cube to achieve a spectrum of crystal sizes. This extra step gives French Kiss Lip Scrub its distinctive texture: some grains exfoliate, others dissolve into the butter-and-oil base to leave lips soft and nourished.

Using La Perruche sugar ties our process to a tradition of French craft — and a personal memory — while celebrating the artistry of transforming a humble ingredient into a decadent treatment.

Cult-Made. Uncompromising.

Every ingredient we choose earns its place — not for trend or novelty, but for the way it performs and feels. La Perruche sugar, with its crystalline richness and French heritage, defines that standard. You’ll find it at the heart of French Kiss, our plant-based lip scrub that turns exfoliation into an act of care — a sensory ritual that leaves lips soft, restored, and quietly luminous.
