A CONCENTRATE OF NATURAL ORIGIN TREASURES TO NOURISH, SOOTHE, AND RELIEVE DRY AND DAMAGED LIPS

Honey, precious Botanical Oils, Beeswax, Shea Butter and Propolis Oleoactive…

The inimitable formula of the Ultra-Nourishing and Repairing Lip Balm is a closely guarded secret, but the comfort it brings to dry and damaged lips is undeniable  (spectacular results,  obtained in conditions of extreme cold). Its luscious melt-away texture and distinctive natural scent of essential oils create a completely addictive experience.Reve de Miel® Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm - Packshot Reve de Miel(R) Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm - Limited Edition_Respect for Nature Reve de Miel® Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm - Limited Collection Limited Edition_Protection of Bees

FOCUS ON 3 EMBLEMATIC COMMITMENTS

NUXE is a naturally responsible brand. The 2020 limited editions provide an opportunity to focus on 3 commitments that are particular concerns for us.

Minimizing impacts on nature is a concern that guides each step in the development of our care products. Our formulation process favors botanical active ingredients sourced from channels with controlled geographic traceability and we do not use any protected botanical species. We prioritize the use of eco-responsible active ingredients and green/natural extraction methods. Formulated according to a demanding approach, all our rinse-off formulas are easily biodegradable (over 90*).For over ten years, NUXE has supported Un Toit pour les Abeilles (A roof for bees) by sponsoring beehives and the development of a colony of bees in the Vosges. As part of a sponsorship with the Louvre Museum launched in 2018, NUXE has installed 6 beehives in the heart of a floral meadow in the Jardin des Tuileries: an ideal location to raise awareness about bees’ essential role in biodiversity among the city’s inhabitants and visitors

Each NUXE product is formulated and manufactured in France: from our R&D laboratory in Paris to our production facility in Brittany, NUXE draws inspiration from the excellent tradition of French pharmacy, with the watchwords of innovation and know-how. Our formulas also undergo systematic in vivo checks, using tests conducted under dermatological supervision to guarantee tolerance and safety.
