PLUMP + PROTECT is a hydrating lip balm that plumps and protects lips from sun damage while adding a pop of colour. Inspired by nature, SlayShell is durable and refillable. Available in three gorgeous colours, it offers a touch of drama without compromising sustainability.

Formulated with excellent clean, mostly organic ingredients.
SlayShell lip balm is manufactured in Australia at a facility that adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice standards, certified by TGA, ensuring high-quality production and testing procedures. Regular third-party inspections guarantee hygiene, ingredient safety, worker respect and the absence of child or animal exploitation. The brand prioritises certified organic and locally sourced ingredients to minimise carbon emissions and highlights Australian native ingredients as key components. They exclusively use plant-based ingredients to achieve a lower carbon footprint, avoiding animal products like tallow. SlayShell also promotes ethical marketing practices, rejecting fearmongering tactics common in the beauty industry and focusing on science-based methods for producing effective, sustainable products.
Sunslayer promotes corporate responsibility throughout the entire product life cycle, recognising that all products impact the planet and striving to make better choices daily. The SlayShell metal case is designed to be durable and refillable, though it requires magnet removal for curbside recycling. SlayShell refill inserts are made from recyclable tin, and the company has a Returns Program for responsible product disposal. They partner with Coexist Australia for product returns at eco-friendly events and lip balm boxes are home compostable. Their mailing boxes, produced in Sydney from 100% recycled cardboard and printed with plant-based inks, are designed for compostability and minimise waste through the use of kraft tape instead of plastic. Standard shipping options utilise electric vehicles, promoting a lower carbon footprint compared to Express shipping methods.
Sunslayer is partnering with Coexist Australia, contributing $1 from every tin sold to support their initiatives. They collaborate with a local recycling center to assess product recycling processes and assist in creating educational materials. The brand participates in local markets, beach clean-ups, tree planting events and engages with schools to educate children about plastic pollution and waste reduction. They also outreach local councils to promote zero waste workshops and utilise social media to provide the public with tips on reducing plastic waste and making sustainable decisions. The founder communicates about these issues through local podcasts and events, emphasising the importance of businesses offering plastic-free alternatives.

Product Reviews by Experts


I was really impressed by the luxurious and ocean-inspired packaging- it’s thoughtfully designed, beautifully presented and immediately conveys the brand’s sustainability values. The balm itself has a lovely, smooth consistency that feels nourishing on the lips and wears comfortably throughout the day. I appreciated the subtle tint and the added SPF protection, which makes this a smart, multi-purpose product to keep on hand. Sunslayer’s commitment to ethical and sustainable innovation is outstanding. From refillable metal packaging to partnerships with Coexist Australia, their holistic approach goes far beyond standard sustainability claims. I was especially impressed by the brand’s honesty about the environmental impact of beauty products and their drive to take responsibility for the full life cycle of their offerings. Their educational outreach- from schools to local councils- shows true leadership in creating a more conscious and connected community!


What I love most about the SlayShell lip balm is that it combines serious sun protection with skincare benefits and a pop of wearable colour. SPF 50 coverage in a smooth, buildable formula that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. The refillable metal case adds a luxurious, tactile feel- so cool! I’m genuinely impressed by how comprehensive and intentional Sunslayer’s sustainability model is, from the refillable SlayShell design to compostable packaging and local, low-carbon shipping practices. I also love how they actively engage in community education and climate activism by working with schools, councils and youth initiatives to foster a sense of environmental empowerment and purpose.


The silver shell packaging is so cute and easy to slip into your pocket, plus the tint is a gorgeous colour. I took this with me everywhere! I also love the reusable case and that they prioritise using certified organic and locally grown ingredients where possible to reduce carbon emissions, as well as Australian native ingredients.
