Our natural lip balms are safe as they are made up of natural butters, carrier oils, and extracts from flowers, plants, and essential oils, which are moisturizing, healing, and healthy for your lips. Natural lip balms do not contain petroleum jelly and mineral oil, which are bad for your lips or can make them dark and dry.
Have you ever wondered how many chemicals you're swallowing by putting toxic lipstick on your lips? Studies suggests that up to 75% of all lipsticks contain lead!
A well known Doctor, published a fantastic article about how dangerous they can be! This is what he says….
“Lipstick and glosses are often ingested over the course of the day so the impact of any toxin is heightened above and beyond skin absorption levels. According to prior research, the Berkeley scientists estimated average lipstick use as twice-a-day applications and heavy use as applying lip gloss or lipstick 10 times a day. One application spreads 10 milligrams of product across a woman’s lips, most of which is ingested. Average use of lipstick means that a woman ingests about 24 milligrams of product. Women that apply lipstick or lip gloss frequently may be ingesting as much as 87 milligrams of product per day.
“The researchers compared what the women were likely ingesting in lip products to health standards for heavy metal consumption like those defined by the EPA for drinking water. They found that average lipstick or lip gloss use in these products resulted in women exceeding daily intake guidelines for aluminum, cadmium, chromium and manganese. In 10 of the products they looked at, daily use meant that a woman would exceed chromium intake recommendations by 100%.”
Following the recommendations of these experts, we have created our own formulas of Lip Balms and Lip Scrub, with selected ingredients, save for lips, to protect and condition the lips.
