Drava Dew Lip Butter is a nourishing lip butter crafted with Ratanjot, Kokum butter, Cow ghee, and a blend of botanical oils. It melts effortlessly to soften dry, chapped lips, seal in lasting moisture, and transform an everyday lip care ceremony inspired by The Pause of Queens™.
Take a small amount with a clean fingertip and press it gently onto the lips. Reapply through the day whenever the lips feel dry.
At night, apply a fuller layer and leave it on as an overnight lip ceremony, for softer lips by morning.
Each Manovya™ formulation is crafted to be experienced at its finest within 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, we recommend using it within 6 months, while the texture, aroma, and sensorial richness remain beautifully intact.
Every Manovya™ product carries a purpose beyond skincare. A portion of every purchase supports social initiatives focused on education, elderly care, food, animal welfare, and essential needs, creating a lasting impact beyond every ceremony.

Independently third-party lab-tested
Lab results for this lip butter
Most brands rely on their manufacturer's in-house tests. This batch was independently third-party lab-tested by Eurofins. Here is what was checked, the safe limit for each, and the result.
Who is Eurofins?
Eurofins is one of the world's largest independent testing companies, with laboratories in over 60 countries. Its lab in Gurugram, India tested a sample from this batch. Manovya™ chose an independent lab instead of relying on in-house testing. Scan the QR code on the full report to verify it with Eurofins directly.
Why test for heavy metals?
Lead, arsenic and cadmium can build up in the body, and lip products are partly swallowed as you eat and drink. Some Ayurvedic preparations have been found to contain heavy metals, so India's AYUSH rules set safe limits. In this lip butter, all three were below the smallest amount the test can detect.
Why test for microbes?
Lip butters are touched with fingers every day, so they are checked for bacteria and mould. The four harmful microbes checked were not found, and the total count was far under the cosmetic safety limit.
