Beauty Bible Loves... Evolve Organic Beauty Bio-Retinol Glossy Lip Oil

We discovered this among the entries for 2024’s CEW Responisble Beauty Award (which Jo has judged for the sponsors, Givaudan, for many years). And we were instantly hooked…

A very slightly tinted lip oil, this is comfort personified. Cell-renewing Kalahari melon seed, macadamia, apricot and raspberry seed oils and hyaluronic acid nourish and plump. There’s the merest whisper of a watermelon tint, too, while peppermint and lime give a sensation of freshness that’s just this side of a tingle. As for that retinol? It’s not a pharmaceutical ingredients, but derived from a plant called Bidens pilosa, a natural alternative to retinol.

100% natural, 80% organic, Vegan Society- and Cruelty Free International-certified, Evolve Organic Beauty Bio-Retinol Glossy Lip Oil is hand-made – like all of this B Corp-certified brand’s products – at their eco-studio in Hertfordshire.

So, responsible beauty, then? Every shiny swipe of the way…
