What is a forest? Is it only trees, or are the millions of animal species who live there part of it too, and what about the water that flows through it and gives it life? All of them, and more. ‘Kaadu’ is an ode to the forest soil, which sustains this abundant life, including human. The combination of cedarwood and basil essential oils gives our lip balm a musky fragrance that evokes a walk in the dense and humid forest of the Western Ghats.

This 100% natural lip balm will soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate your lips. Kokum butter, rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, repairs and revives. Coconut butter hydrates the skin. Beeswax locks in the moisture, which makes the lips look soft and healthy.

These beautiful organic, ethically sourced, and sustainable raw materials are what makes our products so good!

Introducing our first product line: 'IBBANI' !!!

When the sun slowly rises on the Western Ghats, Sirsi’s air is saturated with humidity and the landscape is covered by delicate pearls of dew. In Kannada, the dew is called ‘Ibbani’. We felt the same subtle beauty brought together this natural element, and Beeja’s line of fragrance free products. Just as dew enhances the natural beauty and smell of nature, the 'Ibbani' line foregrounds the smell of its raw active ingredients. The result is a more subtle and refreshing version of our existing products… and more to come!

All 'Ibbani' products now available for all of India at: https://www.beejabotanicals.in/shop-all?Collection=Ibbani

For a long time, fragrance has been an essential aspect of care in the mainstream industry, not just as perfume, but in almost every single product. At Beeja, we intentionally use only natural essential oils, to create a more enjoyable user experience. But we heard a need from users. So, we responded with 'Ibbani'.

Why go fragrance free?
There is nothing wrong with preferring care products that smell good. In the end, our sense of smell has developed to recognize what is good for us and what isn’t. But smells can be deceiving. Synthetic fragrances are liberally used by beauty and care brands, but have an irritating effect on skin, often counteracting the very purpose of skin products. These chemicals, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, are the primary cause of skin problems today. Natural fragrances and essential oils generally cause less skin problems. They can still irritate sensitive skin areas, trigger allergies, and make smell-sensitive people uncomfortable. This is why many users are moving away from added fragrances altogether.

When you try it, we think you will enjoy the natural fragrances of uppage butter, kokum butter, bee wax, coconut oil, castor oil, and maybe be converted to a ‘no fragrance added’ care regimen.

Be sure to let us know what you think of care products with no added fragrance.

This 100% natural lip balm will soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate your lips. Kokum butter, rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, repairs and revives. Coconut butter hydrates the skin. Beeswax locks in the moisture, which makes the lips look soft and healthy.

About the name:
‘Ibbani’ is dew. Inspired by the gentle pearls of water that cover the Ghats jungles every morning, this version of our lip balm has for only fragrance the subtle smell of its four natural ingredients. Like the morning dew in Sirsi, Ibbani Lip Balm refreshes and rejuvenates daily, even if your skin is sensitive to fragrances.
