FAQ:

What makes River Organics Lip Stains different from traditional lip stains?

Our zero waste lip stains combine the long-lasting color of a traditional stain with the nourishing benefits of a lip treatment. Unlike conventional stains that can be drying, our formula features organic oils and butters that condition your lips while providing buildable, natural-looking color. Plus, our plastic-free, biodegradable packaging makes it a truly sustainable beauty choice.

What is a Lip Stain and how does it work?

A lip stain is a lightweight lip color that absorbs into your lips rather than sitting on top like traditional lipstick. Our formula creates a lasting tint while allowing your natural lip texture to show through. The plant-based oils in our stains (like organic jojoba and plum oil) penetrate the lips, delivering both color and hydration for a comfortable, long-wearing finish.

How long does the Lip Stain last?

Our lip stains provide vibrant color for 4-6 hours, depending on your activities. Even after eating and drinking, a natural flush of color remains. The organic ingredients help the color fade evenly throughout the day, avoiding the patchy look common with synthetic stains.

How do I apply Lip Stain for the best results?

For optimal color payoff and wear time:

1. Begin with clean, dry lips
2. Apply directly from the biodegradable tube
3. Start with one layer for a natural tint
4. Build up layers for deeper color intensity
5. Allow 30 seconds between layers for the best color development Pro tip: For a coordinated look, dab onto cheeks and blend quickly for a matching flush of color

What's the difference between your Lip Balm and Lip Stain?

Our Lip Balm focuses on moisture and protection with a subtle tint, perfect for everyday lip care. The Lip Stain provides more noticeable, longer-lasting color while still offering hydration. Many customers use both together as the Lip Balm can add extra shine and moisture.

How do I remove it?

For gentle, effective removal:

1. Use any plant-based oil (coconut, jojoba, or almond work well)
2. Massage the oil into your lips for 30 seconds
3. Wipe away with a reusable cloth
4. Follow with our Zero Waste Lip Balm for overnight hydration

Is it truly zero waste?

Yes! It comes in 100% biodegradable packaging that can be composted after use. The tube will break down naturally. Even our shipping materials are plastic-free and recyclable or compostable.

Can I use the Lip Stain if I have sensitive lips?

Our minimal ingredient list and organic formulation make our lip stains suitable for most sensitive lips. We avoid common irritants, synthetic dyes, and fragrances. However, as with any cosmetic product, we recommend doing a patch test first, especially if you have known sensitivities.

How should I store it?

To maintain the integrity of the natural ingredients and biodegradable packaging:

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Keep the cap tightly closed
• Store below 75°F (24°C) for optimal consistency

Can I layer it with other products?

Absolutely! Our lip stains work beautifully:

• Under clear lip balm for extra shine
• Under lip gloss for a glossy finish
• Over lip balm for a softer, more subtle tint
• As a base layer for long-lasting lipstick wear
