ETTO Tea Tree is grown on our Australian farms and contains high levels of terpinen-4-ol, known for its naturally supportive properties. Lysine works alongside it as part of the lip's daily defence system, helping lips stay resilient against environmental stressors. Zinc adds a gentle protective shield, making this a proactive lip care ritual rather than just a quick fix.

Most lip balms rely on petroleum or mineral oils to create a barrier, which can feel greasy and don't actively nourish. The Lip Shield uses plant-based, nutrient-rich ingredients like Tea Tree, Lysine, Zinc, Manuka Honey and Native River Mint. Together, they protect, hydrate and soothe lips while maintaining a fresh, natural look, without any crude oil derivatives, synthetic fragrances or mineral greases. It's protective skincare that's safe enough to eat.
