Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Botanical Lip Gloss

This glossy lip color is made with a certified organic botanical base that feels nourishing, not sticky. The formula leans simple and lip-friendly, using castor oil and coconut oil for shine and comfort, plus fruit and botanical extracts for that “lips look healthier” finish. There are both tinted shades and clear flavored options, so you can keep it super natural or add a little color.

Certifications

  • Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free (verified; listed by Leaping Bunny)

What I Like

  • EWG rating: 2, based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer.

  • I like how this feels like a real lip conditioner with shine, not that slippery, synthetic gloss texture.

  • The base is simple and nourishing, and the tinted options still keep the ingredient direction really clean.

  • This is a good everyday gloss if you want something that looks polished but still feels low-tox and uncomplicated.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This is not vegan because it contains beeswax.

  • This contains sweet orange essential oil, and some shades include peppermint and spearmint oils. For sensitive lips, mint and citrus can sometimes cause tingling, dryness, or irritation.

  • Because lip products are used frequently and can be partially ingested, anyone who is very sensitive or prone to lip dermatitis may prefer a simpler, fragrance-free lip option.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

This formula does not include retinoids or other commonly pregnancy-restricted actives. The primary consideration is sensitivity. If your lips are reactive, chronically chapped, or prone to dermatitis, the essential oils (especially peppermint/spearmint and citrus) are the most likely cause of stinging or dryness. Patch testing with a small amount is a reasonable first step.

Essential oil transparency note: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that test for purity and minimize contaminants whenever possible.
