Hypoallergenic
Definition
A term describing products formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. While not a regulated term by the FDA, truly hypoallergenic products use few, well-tolerated ingredients. Numbrrrz's 4-ingredient formula with no fragrances (in the Unscented variety), preservatives, or common allergens makes it one of the most hypoallergenic lip balms available.

Clean Beauty
A movement and product philosophy focused on using non-toxic, transparently sourced ingredients and avoiding potentially harmful chemicals. While the term is not federally regulated, clean beauty brands typically avoid parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, petroleum, and other controversial ingredients. Numbrrrz embodies clean beauty with its 4-ingredient organic formula.
Organic
Agricultural products grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or irradiation. In personal care, organic ingredients reduce exposure to potentially harmful agricultural chemicals. Numbrrrz uses certified organic coconut oil, jojoba oil, and essential oils, ensuring the purest possible ingredients come in contact with your lips.
Preservatives
Substances added to products to prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life. Synthetic preservatives like parabens and formaldehyde releasers are common in conventional lip balms. Numbrrrz avoids synthetic preservatives entirely, instead relying on vitamin E's natural antioxidant properties and beeswax's inherent antimicrobial qualities to maintain product freshness and safety.
