Lip Ink

The Lip Inks are liquid matt lipsticks designed to create a long-lasting, opaque and intense finish. Ideal for big occasions or long days where you need a durable, high performance product, our Lip Inks contain organic castor oil, renowned for its moisturising properties, carnauba wax to protect skin and make the product durable, as also tocopherol, a natural antioxidant also known as vitamin E.

Winner of Veggie Mag’s 1st prize in their Ethical Makeup Category 2019, the 441 Emma’s Pink Lip Ink was adored by professional vegan makeup artist Justine Jenkins.

Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure. Existing customers, please note that we are phasing out our bamboo pouches in which our products were packaged, in order to further reduce waste. These will be phased out as current stocks deplete, but they are now available here for purchase separately for gifting purposes.

Ingredients highlight:

Organic castor oil (Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil): This oil is an emollient, softening skin. It is also moisturising via retention of water, facilitating smooth, plump and soft skin.

Organic carnauba oil (Copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax): Secreted by the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree, the wax protects skin by producing a continuous film that increases the durability of makeup.

Jojoba oil (Hydrogenated jojoba oil): Calming and softening, this oil penetrates easily into the skin without trace of grease. It protects the lips against dehydration.
