Details:
Softer, fuller lips, in a shimmer made once.
A lot of shimmer gets its glow from mica or plastic glitter. Wild Groundcherry uses neither.
It's our Basic Balm, the squeezable peptide lip balm that melts in on contact, in a warm gold shimmer that sits close to your natural lip tone.
25% Bio-Based Squalane glides on without stickiness and softens from the first application, and is clinically shown to increase cell turnover by 34%.* The 1% Hydrating Peptide Complex builds over time: in clinical testing, 97% saw improved moisture lasting up to 20 hours, and with twice-daily use over a month, 83% saw softer lips and 69% saw increased lip volume.**
The scent is juicy, slightly sweet, and slightly tart up top, rooted in an earthy, green base.
It's named for the ground cherries growing a little wild in Pamela's garden at Arcady, the latest in our line of limited editions, each named for something actually growing there. The last one, Sugar-Dipped Rhubarb, sold out.
It's made once, in one batch. When it's gone, it won't be back.
Vegan, Leaping Bunny Certified, and Plastic Negative Certified.
WHATS IT GOOD FOR:
Dry or dehydrated lips
Lips lacking softness or volume
An everyday shimmer that stays close to your natural lip tone
All lip types
How to Use:
Apply generously to lips throughout the day as needed. Wear alone, under SPF, or layered over your lip color.
A gentle reminder: Real results take time. Showing up for your skin, consistently, is where the magic happens.
Ingredients:
25% Bio-Based Squalane (derived from natural sugarcane): Glides on without stickiness, nourishing and softening lips from the first application. Clinically shown to increase cell turnover by 34%*, visibly smoothing the look of fine lines and leaving lips softer with every use.
1% Hydrating Peptide Complex: Builds over time to add volume, softness, and long-lasting moisture. In clinical testing, 97% saw improved moisture up to 20 hours after application.**
Golden Shimmer: A warm gold that sits close to your natural lip tone rather than on top of it.
Complexes are blends of ingredients at the efficacious dose clinically studied internally or by suppliers.
Like all formulas, Wild Groundcherry works best when used consistently over time. We recommend using it twice daily for 4 weeks before determining its full benefit for your lips.
Smooths Lips: Tested at 10%, squalane has been shown to increase cell turnover by 34% for a smoother appearance.* Basic Balm is made with 25% bio-based squalane.
Improves Softness: At 1%, our Hydrating Lip Complex improved lip softness in 83% of people when used 2x per day for 1 month.**
Increases Volume: At 1%, our Hydrating Lip Complex increased lip volume in 69% of people when used 2x per day for 1 month.**
Long-lasting Hydration: At 1%, our Hydrating Lip Complex showed improved lip moisture in 97% of people up to 20 hours after application.**

Is this the same formula as Basic Balm? Yes. Same 25% Bio-Based Squalane and 1% Hydrating Peptide Complex, finished in a warm golden shimmer with a wild groundcherry scent.
What does Wild Groundcherry smell like? Juicy, slightly sweet, and slightly tart up top, with an earthy, green base underneath.
What does it feel like? Just like Basic Balm. The sunflower wax base feels like a balm, and 25% squalane lets it glide on without drag, leaving a glossy gold finish that isn't sticky.
How is this shimmer different from others? A lot of shimmer gets its glow from mica or plastic glitter. Ours is mica-free and microplastic-free, a warm gold that stays close to your natural lip tone.
Can I wear it over lip color? Yes. Apply your color first, then seal it in with Wild Groundcherry for a golden, glossy finish with long-lasting moisture.
What do the peptides do? The 1% Hydrating Peptide Complex builds volume, softness, and lasting moisture over time. In clinical testing with twice-daily use over a month, 69% saw increased lip volume and 83% saw softer lips.**
Is it good for sensitive skin? Wild Groundcherry is our Basic Balm formula with an added scent and shimmer. If you have sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities, we recommend patch testing first.
Will Wild Groundcherry come back? No. It's made once, in one batch. The next limited edition will be a different shade and scent, named for something else growing at Arcady.
