The lineup · BB-01 → BB-04
Four gentle charges, one for every kind of day.
Each balm lives in a push-up kraft paperboard tube with a letterpress-style label and a paper cap topped with a little + terminal. The battery gauge tells you what it's for.
Fast Charge
A sheer wash of cherry red from beetroot, with a lightning-bolt gauge. Colour and comfort in one quick swipe.
Low Battery
Extra-thick and unscented, for the end of a long day. Put it on before bed, wake up with lips back in the green.

A warm cinnamon tingle in a brushed aluminium slide tin, shaped like a 9-volt with two snap terminals. Made to be refilled, not replaced.
The bundle · BB-05

What's inside
Five ingredients, nothing you can't pronounce.
Every balm starts from the same short list: a wax for structure, two butters and oils for comfort, a little vitamin E, and one flavour. That's the whole circuit.

How we'd make it
Small batches, slow pours, and paper all the way down.
01
Melt low & slow
Waxes and butters are warmed gently, never scorched, so nothing turns grainy.
02
Pour by hand
Each tube is filled in small batches and left to set at room temperature.
03
Rest a day
Balms cure overnight before capping, for a smoother first swipe.
04
Wrap in paper
Kraft tubes, paper caps, a twine-tied sleeve for the Power Pack. That's it.
Our intentions for this concept:
Plastic-free paper tubes
Refillable aluminium tin
Home-compostable sleeve & twine
Plant-based inks
Questions
Gently answered.
Battery Balm is still a concept. Here's what we can tell you so far.
Can I buy Battery Balm yet?
Not yet. Everything here is coming soon, and there's no shop or sign-up just now. Check back later.
Why paper instead of plastic?
Push-up paperboard tubes do the same job as a plastic stick with far less waste. The aim is packaging you can recycle or compost where your local facilities allow it.
Which balms are plant-based?
Fast Charge and 9V Tingle use candelilla wax, a plant wax. Full Charge and Low Battery use beeswax for a richer feel.
Does 9V Tingle actually tingle?
A little: cinnamon leaf oil gives a gentle warmth. There's no actual voltage. If your lips are sensitive, try a small amount first.
How would refilling the tin work?
The idea is to sell 9V Tingle refills as paper-wrapped balm pucks that slide into the same aluminium tin, so you keep the tin for years.
