Launched in 2016 when Karen Green could no longer ignore her environmental conscience, Just Lippy was created in response to her desire to find lipsticks that she could trust, love and that would make her feel good.
Making each lipstick from scratch with as few ingredients as possible and without anything derived from petroleum or coal, they are plant-based, plastic-free, and extremely pretty.
