The natural protection of a lip balm enclosed in a sharpenable wooden jumbo pencil, for a soft smile and a plastic-free planet. La Saponaria's sharpenable Maticao lip balm is a solid cocoa butter in a wooden pencil format, ideal for protecting and moisturizing lips every day. Unlike classic sticks, it uses no plastic mechanisms, allowing zero-waste use right to the end of the core. SHARPENABLE LA SAPONARIA LIP BALM A design inspired by nature Maticao combines the practicality of precise application with the sustainability of natural wood. This jumbo pencil eliminates the need for plastic containers, making daily care a practical step toward a waste-free lifestyle. LIP BALM Intense protection and a soft texture The texture is designed to glide gently over the skin, leaving a protective veil that shields lips from external agents. The soft core provides immediate comfort and deep nourishment without feeling heavy or sticky. COCOA BUTTER The eco-friendly alternative to the traditional stick Choosing this product means drastically reducing the waste of non-recyclable materials typical of traditional packaging. Each wooden pencil replaces the classic plastic casing while maintaining the same moisturizing effectiveness in a biodegradable format. LIPS Peach fragrance and a natural finish The fruity peach aroma provides a fresh sensation with every application, turning the treatment into a small moment of sensory pleasure. The transparent finish enhances the natural beauty of your smile, making it ideal as a base or protective treatment. SUSTAINABLE COSMETICS Precision and durability to the very last use The jumbo-pencil shape allows you to define the lip contour with extreme precision, preventing the product from extending beyond the edges. The sharpenable structure lets you use the balm down to the last millimeter, maximizing its lifespan and minimizing waste. Specifications Materials wood Sustainability plastic-free, earth-friendly, zero waste Packaging Wooden casing without plastic components Brand La Saponaria Frequently asked questions Which sharpener should I use for these very large pencils? To use Maticao correctly, you need a jumbo sharpener, with a wider opening suitable for cosmetic pencils. A normal office sharpener would be too small and could damage the wood or the soft lip-balm core. Isn't too much product wasted when sharpening it each time? No, the core's consistency is designed to be sharpened without excessive crumbling. Unlike a click-up product, where residue often remains at the bottom of the plastic, this sharpenable lip balm can be used to the end of the wooden casing, reducing overall waste. Can I refrigerate it before sharpening to prevent the tip from breaking? Yes, this is an excellent precaution. Especially during the summer months, the core can become very buttery; leaving the jumbo pencil in the freezer or refrigerator for about 10 minutes will firm up the balm, allowing the sharpener to create a perfect tip without mess. Is the core too soft and does it break as soon as I try to sharpen it? The softness is necessary to moisturize the lips, but if breakage occurs, make sure to use a sharpener with very sharp blades. A blunt blade tends to tear the wood and compress the core instead of cutting it, causing the newly formed tip to break. Does the wood scratch the lips if it is not perfectly sharpened? No, Maticao's design ensures that the core always protrudes slightly beyond the wooden edge. As long as the tip is visible and present, the wood will not come into direct contact with the sensitive skin of the lips, ensuring comfortable and safe application. Does it also work as a lip-contour pencil, or does it smudge? As a cocoa butter, it has a more moisturizing and less waxy texture than a classic lip pencil. It offers excellent precision for defining the contour while moisturizing, but since it is a transparent, nourishing balm, it does not act as a pigmented barrier against liquid lipstick smudging.
