HORACE Expands Its Grooming Line with Lip Balm and Hand Balm Essentials

HORACE has built its reputation on creating straightforward grooming products designed with men in mind. This season, the French brand introduces two additions to its line-up: a Lip Balm and a Moisturising Hand Balm, both engineered as daily essentials for men who want function without fuss.

The Lip Balm (£8) is compact, practical, and formulated with 99.6% natural-origin ingredients. Designed to hydrate and smooth without shine, it avoids the overly glossy finish often found in other products. The subtle fruity-floral scent keeps things understated, while the entirely recyclable packaging, made from recycled materials, speaks to HORACE’s ongoing shift toward more sustainable grooming.

Alongside it comes the updated Moisturising Hand Balm (£9), now featuring 98.9% ingredients of natural origin. Revamped with a lighter, more compact design, the balm is easy to carry while still delivering nourishment for dry or damaged hands. The fresh blend of Green Mandarin and Vetiver gives the product a clean, masculine scent that sits comfortably with the rest of a grooming routine, rather than competing with cologne.

Marc Briant-Terlet, CEO and co-founder of HORACE, notes that the Lip Balm has been one of the most-requested products since 2018. “We took the time to make it just right because our customers expect the best,” he explains. The reformulated Hand Balm, meanwhile, reflects a balance of performance and sustainability—retaining the formula’s efficacy while introducing more eco-friendly packaging.

Both products reinforce HORACE’s approach: modern grooming solutions that focus on straightforward care, natural formulations, and functional design. The Lip Balm and Moisturising Hand Balm are available from September 17 online at horace.com and in HORACE stores.
