There’s something very special about making products by hand, especially when they’re created right here at home on our croft in Shetland, Scotland.
At Love From Shetland, everything we make starts with simple ideas and natural ingredients, and our soya wax lip balms are no different.

How Our Lip Balms Are Made
Each of our lip balms is handmade in small batches here on the croft, surrounded by our goats, dogs, and the everyday rhythm of island life.
We carefully melt and blend our ingredients to create a smooth, nourishing balm, making sure every batch is just right before pouring and setting. Making them by hand allows us to keep complete control over the quality and ensures every lip balm meets the same standard we would expect to use ourselves.
Like all of our products, they are made with care, patience, and a lot of love.
Why We Use Soya Wax
We chose soya wax as the base for our lip balms because it is a natural, plant-based ingredient that is both gentle and effective.
Soya wax is:
Deeply moisturising, helping to keep lips soft and hydrated
Gentle on sensitive skin, making it suitable for everyday use
A natural alternative to petroleum-based ingredients
Smooth and lightweight, giving a comfortable, non-greasy feel
It creates a protective barrier on the lips, helping to lock in moisture and protect against dryness, wind, and cold weather — something we know all about here in Shetland!

Nourishing and Protecting Your Lips
Our soya wax lip balms are designed to:
soothe dry, chapped lips
provide long-lasting moisture
protect lips from the elements
leave lips feeling soft and cared for
Whether you’re facing a windy Shetland day or just looking for a natural everyday lip balm, they’re a simple but effective way to care for your skin.

Made the Shetland Way
What makes our lip balms different is not just the ingredients, but where they’re made.
From our croft in Shetland, surrounded by our animals and inspired by island life, every product we create carries a little piece of our home with it.
Just like our goat’s milk soaps, our lip balms are part of our journey as a small family business — handmade, thoughtfully created, and shared with customers near and far.
