Pamela Anderson Picks a Lip Balm Flavor Straight From Her Own Backyard

Pamela Anderson has added a fresh flavor to her Sonsie line, and the inspiration did not come from a lab or a trend report. The Basic Balm now arrives in Wild Groundcherry, a note she traces back to something growing in her own garden. For a woman whose red-carpet years were catalogued down to the last sequin, the pivot toward a scent you could pluck off a vine feels of a piece with her current, pared-down chapter. Anderson, who also writes and campaigns when she is not acting, spoke with The Zoe Report about how the homegrown fruit made its way into the tube. It is a small product, but the story behind it is the kind our readers like: something made well, with a reason behind it.

With reporting from The Zoe Report.
