HIGHR INGREDIENTS

Organic and plant-derived material science innovation.

WE FORMULATE DIFFERENTLY.


At HIGHR, we focus our development on lip products because lip is the most invasive category in the beauty industry (the only category you directly ingest everyday).


Our formulation process starts by creating a base formula with organic, bioavailable plant butters and oils.  We then blend our organic base formulas with innovative, plant-derived material science actives to safely treat the skin with every wear.  


We know you care about what's in your products, and we want to give you as much information about each individual ingredient, and visibility into our formulation process, as possible.
