Why we stand behind it

Simplify your beauty routine with Balmies, the multi-use lip-to-lid crayons that work for eyes, lips, and cheeks. These eco-friendly, plastic-free crayons deliver a matte finish with long-lasting color and a drier texture, perfect for oily skin or those who use face oils. Crafted with ethically-sourced ingredients, Balmies offer the same amount of product as a regular lipstick, but with a tubeless application for a reduced environmental impact. Clean, vegan & cruelty-free. Made with sustainable, naturally-derived ingredients, Balmies are the perfect choice for effortless beauty with a conscience.

What Makes Us Different

PACKAGING

Sustainable and Hand-crafted

Our crayons are wrapped in recyclable paper so once finished with your Balmie, there is no plastic packaging to dispose of. Balmies are stored in a recyclable and compostable red box. Our boxes are made in Bali using traditional papermaking techniques. Each box is crafted from local waste, helping reduce Bali’s daily waste challenge while supporting women artisans.

The Impact

Waste Reduction: We transform paper waste from hotels, schools, and offices into packaging, keeping it out of landfills and oceans.

Eco-Friendly Production: The process uses minimal water and energy, with no chemicals involved.

Supporting Women

Empowering Women: Every package supports female artisans in Bali with fair wages and sustainable work.

Preserving Tradition: We help keep traditional papermaking alive in Bali while reducing waste.

Choose Axiology and support sustainability, women artisans, and a cleaner planet.

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Natural look and clean ingredients

"Happy to see a clean version!!"

— Alena (5/5)

pretty good but not amazing

"it gets the job done but it's not incredible"

— Justine S. (3/5)

Love the product but the format isn’t great

"I love this highlighter but I agree with the issues everyone else noted — crayon broke in half and makes it difficult to use, paper container damages the crayon every time I close it, have to warm it up for it to work so you use a bit up just getting it to apply properly. The Pearl white finish was exactly what I was looking for in a highlighter as it’s not too sparkly but provides a nice, matte sheen."

— Eleanor M. (3/5)

Didn’t work for what I’d wanted

"This is probably a good product if you intend to use it just as a cheek highlighter. I wanted to use it mainly on my eyelids in place of an eyeshadow and it wasn’t too hard/not smooth enough to apply to a sensitive area. It’s also an extremely small product! Not necessarily an issue I can imagine it lasts a while but I don’t know. I returned it (thanks, Credo, for your simple and easy return policy!)"

— Katie H. (2/5)

Still deciding…

"I really love the color and how pigmented this is, I only have to use a stroke or two to get the highlight I want! The only downside is that sometimes it doesn’t apply perfectly in the crease of my eyelid…"

— Becca M. (4/5)

I like the idea of

"I like the idea of this product but mine cracked in half and really doesn’t have that much color at all. It doesn’t do much"

— Diana G. (1/5)

The slight bit of shimmer

"The slight bit of shimmer when the light catches my cheek bone is perfection with this highlighter. It is a tiny bit of a guy-about an inch so keep the box it came in."

— Jaime M. (5/5)

I bought this as a

"I bought this as a cheap alternative to the rms beauty luminizer. I really like the price and the minimal packaging. I purchased the frosting shade and it doesn’t show up very well. I might try a darker shade next time. It can be a bit difficult to apply if you don’t warm it up first. And the color payoff is not as good as rms beauty. But considering what you get for the price, it’s worth a try"

— Nicole K. (4/5)

great

"not that shiney though"

— Fiala (4/5)

Easy to use, adds a

"Easy to use, adds a little zhuzh. I got 2 neutral colors to use on eyelids. Saleswoman at the store was helpful. They do settle into creases after a while even after powdering first, but can be easily smudged back out."

— Farrah C. (4/5)
