What Makes the Lip Butter Balm Vault Different?
- First full sizes of three shades: Peach Granita, Berry Sorbet and Sea Salt Caramel come in full size here for the first time. Summer Fridays says they were previously only available as minis and calls them community favourites.
- Every shade in one set: the set holds all 18 flavours, split evenly between nine core and nine limited-edition shades.
- Exclusive case: the vegan leather vanity case is available only in this set.
Formula and Packaging
- Lip Butter Balm: Summer Fridays says the formula is:
- vegan and cruelty-free
- formulated without gluten
- suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
The brand suggests using it when lips need extra hydration during the day, or as an overnight lip mask.
- Vanity case: a limited-edition vegan leather case measuring 9.06 × 7.09 × 4.33 in. Summer Fridays describes it as a set "to collect, treasure and share."
