Achillea millefolium — The Ancient Herb Your Lips Will Love

Achillea millefolium — The Ancient Herb Your Lips Will Love

At EarthKiss Naturals, we don’t believe in filler ingredients. Every plant we use is carefully chosen for its purpose — and Achillea millefolium, also known as yarrow, is one of our most powerful healing allies.

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, this humble flowering herb does more than just look pretty in a field. It’s been trusted by warriors, herbalists, and now… us. Here’s why we infuse our lip balms with Achillea millefolium, and what it can do for your lips.

🧪 A Healing Herb with a Legendary Past

The name Achillea comes from the legendary Greek hero Achilles, who was said to have used yarrow to treat the wounds of his soldiers. That’s how effective this plant was — and still is. It earned the nickname “soldier’s woundwort” and has long been valued for its ability to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

💋 Why Your Lips Love Achillea

Your lips are one of the most sensitive areas of your skin — prone to drying, cracking, and reacting to weather, stress, and synthetic ingredients. That’s where yarrow comes in. It’s gentle yet powerful, working at a deeper level to support healing and calm irritation.

Benefits of Achillea millefolium for lips:

  • 🌼 Anti-inflammatory: Helps reduce swelling, redness, and irritation

  • 🌼 Antibacterial: Keeps lips clean and clear, especially when cracked or broken

  • 🌼 Astringent: Supports tissue repair and speeds healing of minor wounds

  • 🌼 Antioxidant-rich: Protects lips from environmental damage

🌸 Our Herbal Approach

We infuse dried Achillea millefolium into natural oils — allowing the plant’s properties to gently extract over time. This slow process ensures your lips get the full benefit of the herb, without losing potency through heat or harsh processing.

When paired with soothing ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, CBD, and lavender, yarrow becomes part of a botanical blend that nourishes on every level — texture, tone, and healing.

🧴 Where You'll Find It

You’ll find Achillea millefolium featured in several of our blends, including:

  • 🌿 The Original CBD Lip Balm — for calm, comfort, and clarity

  • ❤️ Wild Rouge Tinted Balm (Coming soon)— for a subtle tint with healing power underneath

We choose yarrow not because it's trendy — but because it works. And because your lips deserve ingredients with intention.
