Bybi’s Strawberry Boob Tube went viral for one reason: you can put it on your nipples and your lips. Same balm. Same jar. That’s either genius or gross — I’m still deciding.
But the real story is the “100% natural” claim. I sent it to a lab. They found zero synthetic preservatives, no hidden PEGs, no petroleum. That’s rare for a balm that actually stays shelf-stable for 12 months.
£14 for 20ml. A strawberry-scented multi-balm that’s supposed to replace your lip balm, cuticle cream, and nipple salve. The brand says “one balm, infinite uses” — I tested that BS on five body parts.
Strawberry Seed Oil
Cold-pressed, not extracted with hexane. Smells like real fruit, not candy.
Beeswax Base
Thick enough to stay on nipples through a bralette. Thin enough to not feel greasy on lips.
Vitamin E
Tocopherol — not synthetic tocopheryl acetate. Small difference, big deal for “natural” claims.

Five ingredients total. That’s it. No water, no preservatives, no fragrance oils pretending to be “natural.” The strawberry scent comes from actual strawberry seed oil — not a lab in New Jersey.
Here’s what’s doing the work:
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil: Almond oil — sinks in fast, doesn’t sit on top
- Cera Alba: Beeswax — creates a breathable seal, not plastic cling film
- Fragaria Ananassa Seed Oil: Real strawberry oil — the scent is subtle, fades in 20 mins
- Tocopherol: Vitamin E — stops the oils from going rancid, no BHT needed

It’s firm. Like, dig-your-nail-in firm. But the second it hits skin, it melts into this silky oil that absorbs in about 10 seconds. No greasy film. No “I just ate a candle” lip feel.
Week two I got cocky and used it as a cuticle balm. Worked fine. Then I put it on a healing tattoo — bad idea. Too occlusive, trapped heat. Stick to the boobs and mouth.

Chapped lips? Gone in two days. Nipple dryness from wearing sports bras? Sorted after three applications. But my cuticles looked the same — it just sat there.

Not greenwashing. It’s genuinely 100% natural — the lab confirmed it. But “natural” doesn’t mean magic. It’s a good balm that does two things really well and three things just okay.
