- Up to five flavors of your choice, from 70+
- Shipping included
- We apply the $10 to your first custom order
- The same balm your customers would get
You'll pick your five flavors, then tell us who you are and roughly how many tubes you're planning, before checkout.
"Excellent way to try lip balms before you commit."
Irene, verified buyer
Who it's for: anyone planning a custom order. Dental and healthcare practices, tattoo studios, spas and salons, shops and boutiques, farms and food businesses, real-estate offices, and equally weddings, family reunions and conferences, fundraisers, schools, clubs, and non-profits. You don't need to be a business.
- See your logo on a tube Not sure how your branding will look at label size? Send us your logo and we'll email you the design, usually within a couple of days. Free, and nothing is committed.

What They're Handing Out
Every tube here is a real order: somebody's practice, somebody's wedding, somebody's shop. Same balm in all of them; the label is the only thing that changes.

Who We Make For
Same balm, different reasons for wanting it. If one of these is you, start there, because the page answers the questions your line of work actually asks. If none of them is you, the last card is yours.
- Dental & orthodontic practices Patient gifts, new-patient bags, and appreciation events, from a periodontist who knows what a mouth goes through in your chair.
- Tattoo studios Petroleum-free, vegan aftercare sticks branded for your studio. Send clients home with something clean instead of whatever's under the sink.
- Weddings & events Favors matched to your colors, with a proof before anything prints, and a plan that gets them to you ahead of the date, not the week of.
- Fundraisers & community groups Sell 4-packs for $20 and keep $10 of every sale. Built for schools, teams, troops, and clubs.
- Corporate gifts & everyone else Reunions, corporate gifts, hotels, wineries, salons, and trade shows are all regular orders here, and so are plenty of things that aren't on that list. The corporate page covers multi-address shipping, gift sets, display stands, POs and net terms; otherwise it's the same 50-tube minimum, the same pricing, and the same two weeks. Start with the $10 flavor kit, see your logo on a tube, or place an order.
What It Costs
Standard and paper tubes share the same quantity bands, the same 50-tube minimum and the same 25-per-flavor rule. Paper adds exactly $1.65 a tube at every band, so the choice between them costs the same however much you order.
Standard & paper tubes
| Quantity | Standard | Paper |
|---|---|---|
| 50–149 | $2.35 | $4.00 |
| 150–299 | $1.85 | $3.50 |
| 300–999 | $1.35 | $3.00 |
| 1,000+ | $1.10 | $2.75 |
One-time $75 label setup fee, and reorders of the same label are free. Tattoo balm sticks follow these same two price lists.
Need SPF? Custom SPF balm starts at 150 tubes per flavor. It's regulated as an over-the-counter drug, so it has its own price list, FDA compliance fees and lead time. See SPF pricing & requirements →
Check the tier edges before you settle on a number. Because flavors are made in lots of 25, your total is always a multiple of 25, and at both price breaks, the bigger number is the cheaper one. 125 standard tubes costs $293.75; 150 costs $277.50. Same again higher up: 275 costs $508.75 against $405 for 300. If you're just under a break, round up, and you get more favors and pay less.
It doesn't have to be lip balm. We also make custom-labeled hand and body lotion and foaming hand soap under your name, in full size for a shelf or a front desk, or 2 oz minis for a gift bag or a three-piece set. Ask and we'll quote it alongside the balms.
Shipping is quoted separately, and our retail free-shipping offer doesn't cover custom or bulk orders.
How It Works
- 1 Try the flavors The Flavor Selection Kit: $10 for five, shipping included, credited back against your order.
- 2 Send us your logo We design the label around your branding and send proofs within a few days.
- 3 Approve the proof Nothing goes into production until you've signed off on it.
- 4 Hand them out Most orders are out the door within two weeks of label approval.
Working to a fixed date, say a reunion, a conference or an office opening? The clock that matters is label approval: most orders are out the door within two weeks of it, with a few days at the front for the proof round and transit on top. Tell us your date and we'll confirm it before you order. Weddings are worth a bit more room than that because the month before a wedding is already full.
In a rush? Tell us anyway. Rush processing is available on standard and paper tubes for an extra fee, and rush orders of standard tubes can often be processed and shipped out within a few days. Call 1-802-359-7514 or email info@farmersbody.com with your date before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether it works, rather than taking the order and hoping. SPF is the one exception: it can't be rush processed.
We take business credit cards and checks, accept purchase orders, can set up net terms, and will provide a W-9. Just ask. Need one order split across several offices or venues, a gift set, or a branded display stand? The corporate and promotional page covers all of it. Questions before you commit? Call 1-802-359-7514 or email info@farmersbody.com.
What's In It, and Where It's From
Seven ingredients. The flavor oil is the only thing that changes from one flavor to the next. Made without petroleum-derived ingredients and with candelilla wax rather than beeswax, so it's vegan. Unscented contains no added flavor or essential oil, though the base is the same, so it still contains coconut and cocoa or mango butter. It's the same balm we sell at retail, with your label on it instead of ours.
It's made in small batches in Vermont by a team of women who mix, pour, and label every order, and the name is a nod to the women who keep traditional farming going and usually get left out of the picture.
We're a certified Vermont Green Business, and the kraft paperboard tube is there if a renewable, compostable option matters to your customers.

Oryza sativa (Rice Bran) Oil · Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil · Stearic Acid · Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) and/or Mangifera indica (Mango) Seed Butter · Euphorbia cerifera (Candelilla) Wax · Essential/Flavor Oil · Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Lip Balm
Can we try the flavors first?
Yes, and it's the normal first step. The Flavor Selection Kit is $10 for up to five flavors of your choice with shipping included, and we apply the $10 to your first custom order. You pick your five flavors, then tell us who you are and roughly how many tubes you're planning, before checkout. It's for anyone planning a custom order: businesses and practices, and equally weddings, reunions, conferences, fundraisers, schools, and clubs.
Can you do wedding favors?
Yes. Weddings are one of the most common event orders we make, and there's a whole page for wedding favors covering color matching, guest counts, and the timeline. The same rules apply as for any custom order: 50 tubes minimum in lots of 25 per flavor, a one-time $75 label setup fee, and most orders out the door within two weeks of label approval. Weddings are worth giving a little more room than that, because the month before a wedding is already full, so it's better to have them in hand early than to be waiting on a box.
Do you do corporate gifts and trade show orders?
Yes, and there's a whole page for corporate and promotional orders. Client and employee gifts, conference and trade show giveaways, hotel guest amenities, winery tasting rooms, and salons are all regular orders here. We can split one order across multiple addresses, build gift sets that pair your custom lip balm with custom-labeled hand and body lotion and foaming hand soap, quote a branded display stand or take-one sign, take purchase orders and net terms, and quote individually above about 5,000 units.
Can you make anything besides lip balm?
Yes. We also make custom-labeled hand and body lotion and foaming hand soap under your name. Full size, for a shelf or a front desk, or 2 oz minis that suit a gift bag or a three-piece set with the balm. Tell us what you'd like and roughly how many and we'll quote it alongside the balms.
What's in it?
Seven ingredients: rice bran oil, coconut oil, stearic acid, cocoa and/or mango seed butter, candelilla wax, essential or flavor oil, and vitamin E. Made without petroleum-derived ingredients and with candelilla wax rather than beeswax, so it's vegan. Unscented contains no added flavor or essential oil, though the base ingredients are the same, so it still contains coconut and cocoa or mango butter. It's the same balm we sell at retail, with your label on it.
What's the minimum order?
Fifty tubes, ordered in lots of 25 per flavor, so a 50-tube order means two flavors at 25 each, or 50 of a single one, and your total is always a multiple of 25. SPF works differently: the minimum is 150 tubes and the minimum per flavor is also 150, so 150 tubes gets you one flavor and two flavors means 300 tubes.
How much does it cost per tube?
Standard tubes are $2.35 each for 50–149, $1.85 for 150–299, $1.35 for 300–999, and $1.10 for 1,000 or more. Paper tubes are exactly $1.65 more per tube at every one of those bands. SPF tubes are $2.50 for 150–299, $2.25 for 300–999, $2.00 for 1,000–4,999, and $1.75 for 5,000 or more.
How much more do paper tubes cost?
Paper adds exactly $1.65 a tube at every quantity band, so the decision costs the same however much you order. Paper and standard share the same 50-tube minimum, the same 25-per-flavor rule and the same setup fee.
Is there a label setup fee?
There's a one-time $75 label setup fee on your first order of standard or paper tubes, and reorders of the same label are free. SPF is the exception: the FDA compliance inspection is $75 for your first flavor and $35 for each additional flavor, and SPF reorders carry a $15 label setup fee rather than being free.
How long does it take?
Most orders are out the door within two weeks of the moment you approve your label proof, not from when you place the order. Add a few days at the front for us to design the label and for you to review it, plus transit time. If you have a date in mind, tell us and we'll confirm it before you order.
Can you do rush orders?
Often, yes, so tell us your date rather than assuming it won't work. Rush processing is available on standard and paper tubes for an extra fee, and rush orders of standard tubes can often be processed and shipped out within a few days. Call 1-802-359-7514 or email info@farmersbody.com before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether your date works, rather than taking the order and hoping. SPF is the one exception: it's regulated as an over-the-counter drug and can't be rush processed.
What if we don't have print-ready artwork?
Send whatever you have. We'll design the label around your branding and send proofs within a few days, and nothing goes into production until you've signed off. You can also send your logo before you order and we'll email you a free mockup, usually within a couple of days.
How do we pay, and can you invoice us?
We take business credit cards and checks, we accept purchase orders, we can set up net terms, and we'll provide a W-9 for your records. Just ask. Email info@farmersbody.com or call 1-802-359-7514. Shipping is quoted separately, since our retail free-shipping offer doesn't cover custom or bulk orders.
Try five flavors for $10.
Shipping included, and we apply the $10 to your first custom order. Business, practice, wedding, reunion or fundraiser, it's the same Flavor Selection Kit.
