According to Page Six, Anderson developed the balm after finding an 'unexpected and lovely' wild fruit in her own garden, telling the Zoe Report: 'I feel like a little fairy in my garden. I always say I'm Sonsie's garden fairy godmother.' Like a fall harvest, the supply is finite — 'We only made so many, and then those will be gone,' she said, adding she'll simply have to find something else next. This is her second limited-edition lip launch, following a rhubarb balm last November that she told Page Six Style was a 'reflection of love.'

The surprising angle, per Page Six: Anderson told People that in photo shoots dating back to the '80s and '90s she 'couldn't stand lip gloss' because of its stickiness. The Wild Groundcherry balm was engineered to be non-sticky and super hydrating, 'to give you the effect without feeling like you've got stuff on your lips.' Unlike the original Basic Balm, it offers a subtle warm golden shimmer created without any actual glitter or microplastics, and Sonsie discloses every fragrance ingredient rather than hiding behind the word 'fragrance.'

The same week, NewBeauty reports a second fruit-based lip launch: the limited-edition iota/Chiquita Banana Lip Treatment ($28), a clear glossy treatment made with banana extract from actual Chiquita bananas, plus hyaluronic acid, peptides, prebiotics, postbiotics and plant stem cell-derived ingredients. Iota co-founder Monique Meneses says bananas 'have been part of beauty rituals for generations,' and the brand describes the scent as 'the fruit at its exact right day.' Together with Anderson's groundcherry balm, it suggests fruit-derived formulas are beauty's freshest micro-trend.

Both products are limited editions, so availability is the immediate question. NewBeauty reports the banana treatment is available now on iota's website, arriving at Ulta and Nordstrom later this month in select stores and online, while Page Six notes Anderson's balm stock 'won't last forever' — she may need to forage a new ingredient entirely. For Anderson, the activist framing continues: 'I wanted to create a way to use cruelty-free products so nothing harmful would get in the way of a great day,' she told Page Six Style. Watch for whichever garden fruit inspires her next balm.
