Custom Lip Balm for Senior Living, Home Health & Hospice
Assisted living and memory care communities, home health agencies, hospice teams and senior centers put their name and phone number on a tube that residents and families actually use. Under a dollar each, minimum one hundred, made in the USA.
What a typical order costs
Label design and proofs are free. Shipping is free at 600 tubes and up.
Where Communities Use Them
Tours & move-in packets
A family touring three communities in one afternoon leaves with three folders. Yours is the one with a tube in it, and your phone number stays on the kitchen counter.
Referral visits
Home health and hospice liaisons leave them at discharge planning offices, physician practices and skilled nursing facilities. Cheaper than a brochure and it does not get thrown out.
Health fairs & senior expos
Table giveaways that people come back for. Small enough to hand out by the five hundred, useful enough that they stop to talk.
Resident & family gifts
Welcome bags, birthday carts, family council meetings, National Assisted Living Week and staff appreciation. One order covers the year.
Why It Works for This Audience
Older adults use lip balm daily
Dry lips come with age, medication and dry indoor air. This is not a novelty item to this audience — it is something they were going to buy anyway.
Your number stays visible
A tube lives on a nightstand, in a walker bag or in a purse for months. Families see the name every day without being marketed to.
Plain, no flavor option
Our Natural balm has no flavor and no scent at all. It is the right choice for memory care, for residents on restricted diets, for anyone with a sensitivity, and for hospice carts where a flavored balm would be out of place. Or pick from Mint, Grape, Vanilla or Kiwi-Watermelon (our flavor of the month) if you would rather have one.
No petroleum, no preservatives
No petroleum jelly, no petrolatum, no mineral oil. Just natural sunflower butter, beeswax, aloe and vitamin E, with no preservatives, never tested on animals. Natural unflavored is available for residents who prefer no scent. Families ask what is in it, and this is an answer you can give without hedging.
Appropriate for hospice
Comfort carts and family welcome bags. Dry, cracked lips are a real daily discomfort in end-of-life care, so it reads as care rather than promotion. We keep those labels quiet and dignified.
Under a dollar a person
From $0.69 to $0.69 a tube. Fits an activities budget, a marketing budget or a community relations budget without an approval chain.
Made in the USA since 2000
We manufacture in Mentor, Ohio. Not an importer, and no overseas lead times.

Questions
What are good promotional items for senior living communities?
Something small, useful and genuinely welcome. Custom lip balm works because older adults use it daily, it costs under a dollar, and it carries your community name and phone number on a tube that sits on a nightstand or in a purse for months.
What is the minimum order?
100 tubes. Most communities order 250 to 500 for tours, health fairs and referral visits. Shipping is free at 600.
How much does it cost per resident?
Between $0.69 and $0.69 a tube depending on quantity. 250 tubes runs about $185. Label design and proofs are free.
Can we put our logo and phone number on the label?
Yes. Send your logo in any common format and we lay out the label at no charge, including your community name, tagline and phone number, then email a proof for approval before printing.
Are these appropriate for hospice families?
Many hospice and palliative care teams order them for comfort carts and family welcome bags. Dry, cracked lips are a real daily discomfort in end-of-life care, so it is a practical gift rather than a promotional one. We keep those labels quiet and dignified.
Is the lip balm safe for older adults?
It is made from natural sunflower butter, beeswax, aloe and vitamin E, with no preservatives and no petroleum. Natural (unflavored) is available for residents who prefer no scent or flavor.
How fast can we get them?
Proofs come back the same or next business day, and most orders ship the next business day once your label is approved.
Do you work with home health and referral marketing teams?
Yes. Home health and hospice liaisons order them as leave-behinds for hospital discharge planners, physician offices and skilled nursing facilities. They cost less than printed brochures and they do not get thrown away.
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by our customers
I order lip balm for my dental office several times throughout the year and I typically choose the flavor of the month. Patients love the scents and look forward to picking up a tube when they come in for their cleanings. The label design process was straight forward and ordering is very easy.
We've been buying from Lip Balm Express for over 10 years. Our dental office uses them as patient giveaways and our patients LOVE them. Our orders come in a timely manner as well.
We have placed several orders for our small business, and Lip Balm Express has always been outstanding. The employees are friendly and responsive, and shipping is quick and easy. Our patients love the flavors!
Ordered custom lip balms as a thank you gift for my wedding! This is so much better than candles, and everyone loved them!
I love how fast my stuff is delivered. And they do a great job on the logos and I appreciate being able to pick the cap color.
They are super quick and efficient! They are very helpful with design and their suggestions are spot-on. Their product is loved by all my peeps. Excellent all around!
