Zhang Tian, a junior at Nanjing Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, initially came up with the idea to save the trouble of buying gifts. With fruits, wine, additives and olive oil as ingredients, Zhang set out to make a long-lasting moist balm with a faint fragrance. /VCG Photo

Having earned his girlfriend’s admiration, he now plans to earn some money out of his creation. He has set up a workshop to sell his all natural products on e-commerce platforms. /VCG Photo

Ordinary lipsticks can last for more than one year; Zhang’s handmade version typically stays good for 15 days. /VCG Photo
