Sylvie's Story
I’ve loved lip balm since I was a kid, but for me, it became something more. After discovering I’m autistic as an adult, it makes sense why lip balm has always been so important to me. The sensory qualities of the perfect formula help calm me, especially in social situations. There’s just something soothing about the right texture gliding across my lips.
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands—literally. Learning to make my own lip balm became my new obsession, and I hyperfocused on mastering it. It was so exciting to discover their unique properties of all the and experiment with flavors to create delicious custom blends.
The process of developing the perfect formula took lots of trial and error, but I was determined. I wanted a balm that was rich and creamy, but never waxy or oily. And it had to glide on effortlessly and last for hours. After countless batches, I finally created something I was proud of.
I started sharing my lip balms with friends and family, and their enthusiasm gave me the nudge I needed to launch Eclair Lips in 2015. At first, the business grew slowly, but everything changed in 2022 when videos of me sharing my process went viral. The attention has been overwhelming in the best way, and business really started to boom.
But through it all, the heart of Eclair Lips has remained the same. My goal has always been to create lip products that bring a little joy to your day. From our delicious flavors and soothing texture to our playful approach to marketing, every part of Eclair Lips is designed to add a bright spot to your day.
Meet Mario
While my husband Mario has been quietly supporting me behind the scenes since day one, he officially joined Eclair Lips a few years after we launched.Mario is a bit of a jack of all trades around here. Whether he’s helping me with production, labeling all of our products, shipping orders, or troubleshooting the endless little things that pop up around the office, he keeps everything running smoothly.
But what Mario loves most? It’s reading the sweet notes customers leave on their orders. He’s constantly telling me how blown away he is by how much joy and happiness our little business brings to people, and honestly, that’s been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey for both of us.
