I bought this for my perpetually chapped lips, but it’s currently living on my cuticles, my elbows, and the wings of my nose. It’s a total overachiever.
The texture is the trick — it’s thick enough to actually stay put, but melts on contact. That’s why it works everywhere.
It’s a $28 balm-mask hybrid from Eadem that smells like a fancy hot cocoa. I rolled my eyes at the price. Then I tried it.
Butter-like base
It doesn’t sit on top like a waxy film—it sinks in within 60 seconds.
No residue drama
You can apply it before bed and not wake up with your hair stuck to your face.
Squeeze tube genius
No digging your nail into a pot. Just a clean, precise squeeze.

The ingredient list reads like a smoothie order, not a chemistry set. It’s got murumuru butter for deep repair and cacay oil—which is basically plant retinol, so it’s actively smoothing lines.
- Murumuru Butter: Deeply nourishes without the grease
- Cacay Oil: Plant-based retinol that plumps fine lines
- Shea Butter: Locks in moisture overnight
- Vitamin E: Calms angry, flaky patches

First dip: it’s like scooping up warm honey that just turned solid. It glides on clear, not white, and the chocolate scent fades after 10 minutes—thank god, because I don’t want to taste it all night.
Two weeks in, my lip lines look softer. The real surprise? My cuticles stopped peeling after three days of nightly swipes.

My lips are noticeably smoother—not plumped, just… calmer. The flaking stopped completely. The jar hasn’t fixed my perpetually dry corners, but it’s the only thing that doesn’t sting them.

It’s the best multitasker I own. Buy it for your lips, keep it for your cuticles, and you’ll actually finish the tube.
