Everyone thinks lip balms are just for your lips. Soft, glossy and hydrated. But here’s our secret: lip balm can also be a nervous system hack. A tiny ritual that tells your body, “you’re safe, slow down.”

How we use our balms for regulation:

• Pause → Before you swipe, stop for one second. That pause is already a nervous system signal.
• Swipe → Vanilla, matcha, or lemongrass. As you apply, notice the texture, notice the scent (we choose our scents for how they make you feel, not just how they smell). Sensory input = regulation input.
• Breathe → Inhale the scent. Long exhale. That’s the bit that tells your vagus nerve to chill out.
• Repeat when needed → Commute chaos, deadline stress, stubbed your toe. No ritual too small.

Your nervous system doesn’t always need big fixes. It just needs consistent little cues that say “safe.” A lip balm can be that. Small, pocket-sized regulation.
