Ilia Lip Exfoliator
Description
A fuss-free lip exfoliator that rehydrates while it gently buffs away dull surface skin cells.
This Balmy Nights lip exfoliator revives lips with its fine, grainy exfoliant texture made of volcanic stone, creating the perfect foundation for your go-to ILIA lipstick.
Helps reveal new, smooth skin, getting them prepped and ready for a coat of intensive balm, like our Balmy Days Lip Conditioner.
Conveniently packaged in a stick-form, keeping application easy while on the go.
How to use
FOR: all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin
Apply several times back and forth along the lips.
For extra exfoliation use your finger in a circular motion after application. Rinse with a warm washcloth to remove all traces of volcanic stone.
Follow up with Balmy Days Lip Conditioner to lock in hydration.
Editor's note
A fuss-free lip exfoliator that rehydrates while it gently buffs away dull surface skin cells.
Swipe the Balmy Nights Lip Exfoliator gently over lips 1-2 times, blend in by rubbing your lips together.
Remove with a warm cloth or when in the shower with your hands.
It’s easy to use, without the mess of applying with your finger.
“I like to apply Balmy Nights directly from the tube several times before hopping in the shower.
Once in the shower, I use my finger in a circular motion to really move the volcanic stone around and then rinse under the shower.
By not using a washcloth to remove the product, it helps keep some of the wax from the product in place on my lips, which helps lock in moisture.”
Sacha Plavsic, Ilia’s founder

Founder's story
Driven by her concern for “green washing”, her mother’s attentiveness to diet, healthy living and homeopathy which helped her brother, Zachary Ilia, to cure his acute asthma and severe allergies, Sasha Plavsic slowly started the creation of ILIA in Vancouver, 2011, a clean beauty line which is out to prove that functionality and stability can work hand in hand when it comes to achieving and maintaining your healthy skin and your good looks.
Throughout her twenties, Sasha was interested in design and typography, studying in London and New York, and working for brands such as Cartier, in marketing and branding.
This experience gave her a good understanding of the world of business which she later on used when she returned to Vancouver and founded the beginnings of ILIA.
The name, ILIA, is Slavic in heritage and has a double meaning.
It comes from their great grandfather who was a high-end shoe designer from Belgrade, in former Yugoslavia and it means hand made shoes and also organic and healthy, which captures the brand.
The ILIA BEAUTY promise
ILIA strives to transcend the concept of being organic and clean by incorporating a hybrid of safe synthetics and clean ingredients.
They use a large percentage of certified organic and bio-active botanicals from ethical and sustainable sources combined with a small amount of safe synthetics which enhances the performance of the products.
Each product contains up to 85% bio-active organic ingredients, sourced from organic farmers and processed in a laboratory that is certified with Gluten-Free and Leaping Bunny.
Each piece has an ethical-sustainable approach which is revealed by housing all their products in recycled aluminum cases.
Their taglines involve believing in skin that looks like skin and radiance that comes naturally.
They value transparency and always challenge the conventions of clean beauty to create something out of this world.
ILIA is committed to carve a new path by balancing safety and performance in products that truly work to make your skin look good and alive.
