The Lip Bar Raises $6.7M to Transform the Beauty Landscape with Vegan, Inclusive Innovation

The Lip Bar is thrilled to announce that we have successfully raised $6.7 million in our latest funding round, marking a significant milestone in our journey to redefine beauty standards. Since our inception in 2012 by Founder and CEO Melissa Butler, who began crafting lipsticks in her Brooklyn kitchen, our brand has been dedicated to changing the way people think about beauty. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that beauty should be inclusive, accessible, and cruelty-free, and our commitment to vegan, animal-friendly ingredients continues to guide our innovations. This new infusion of capital will enable us to further expand our curated experiences and reach even more beauty enthusiasts across the country. With our products already making their way to 750 Target stores, 500 Walmart stores, and our flagship store in Downtown Detroit, the funding will allow us to enhance our product offerings, invest in groundbreaking research, and elevate our retail presence to meet growing demand. As we enter this exciting new phase, our focus remains on eliminating the guesswork in beauty by offering convenient and thoughtfully curated experiences that empower our customers to express themselves confidently. We are excited to use the funds to not only strengthen our supply chain and expand our product line but also to further engage with our vibrant community on social media and in-store activations. Awards and accolades from industry leaders such as Byrdie, Refinery 29, and Allure are a testament to our innovative approach and commitment to authenticity. This funding announcement is not just a testament to our past achievements but a promise of continued excellence and reinvention in the beauty industry.
