Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Is this good for sensitive skin?
Yes. A customer with rosacea-prone sensitive skin reported zero irritation and noted the balm goes on super smooth and melts into lips. Many reviewers also praise the simple 3-ingredient formula with no added colours, fragrances, or preservatives as a key benefit.
How long does the balm last on lips?
Many reviewers report the balm keeps lips soft and hydrated for hours. Some specifically mention it lasts through the night, and one customer tested it in -6 degree weather with high winds and found it stood up without requiring reapplication.
Does it feel greasy or sticky?
No. Multiple reviewers describe it as smooth, light, and not sticky or greasy. One customer noted it glides on like silk, while another praised the light feel and good slip compared to mainstream balms.
What does the scent smell like?
The scent is described as gentle and subtle—amber with warm, woody tones. Reviewers frequently note it's not overpowering, with one describing hints of childhood nostalgia and another mentioning notes reminiscent of orange creamsicle.
Does it prevent chapped lips year-round?
Yes. Multiple long-term users report using it year-round to prevent chapping, including during dry heating season and in frigid winter weather. Reviewers emphasize it keeps lips nourished and hydrated even in harsh conditions.
Does the balm feel grainy?
A couple of reviewers described it as grainy, much like cocoa butter, though neither saw this as a complaint. The vast majority of reviews do not mention texture issues and instead praise how smoothly it applies.
Is this made with only natural ingredients?
Yes. The product contains only three ingredients: Bushman's Candle bark wax, Ontario beeswax, and coconut oil, with no added colours, fragrances, or preservatives.
Do I need to reapply it frequently?
No. Several reviewers specifically note they don't feel the constant need to reapply it like they do with mainstream commercial balms, with some reporting long-lasting hydration from a single application.
Simple is often best and with only 3 ingredients, the Bushman's Candle Lip Balm really shines. The Amber scent of the wax blends perfectly with the sweet tones of the unrefined Ontario Beeswax and creates a protective balm with a beautiful natural scent.

Sarcocaulon Mossemedense is a flowering succulent shrub of the Geranium family that thrives in the hot, harsh and dry Namib desert. The soft interior of the plant is preserved and protected by a thick waxy, resinous bark which endures on the parched desert floor for many years after the plant's demise and can be utilized in various skin-care products, especially those that preserve and protect the skin.

Members of the Himba tribe collect the fallen bark and most often processed into a resin extract for the perfume industry. Collecting the fallen bark provides an extra income to members of the tribe.
However, besides the aromatic resinous material, there is a natural wax present in the bark which is discarded as waste after removing the resin portion.

Utilizing this fragrant wax is a simple process and if a market can be created for it, this value-added product could generate extra income for the tribe.

This amber scented wax is perfect for cosmetics, candles moustache waxes and therapeutic skin healing formulas.
Both the wax and the resin extract can be prepared from the same material, doubling its usefulness and value as a sustainably collected harvest.


I have described the formulas and processes for producing both products below.
Bushman's candle resin extract and wax share a beautiful Amber scent that is rich, sweet, warm, woody and tenacious.

It is fairly easy to extract 2 separate products from the raw bark, the alcohol extract for perfume and incense and a wax which can be used in candles and cosmetic/therapeutic preparations.
