Last week I received a gift from Australia. Surprised! I opened it and there was a little bag with the logo of Organic Island printed in gold.  Oh! It’s Organic Island, I’ve been longing for the ’shell’ since I came across the website.

Not only the bag, when I took up the shell,  each Organic Island’s Shell Lip Balm is packaged in real shell, and mine is pink in color, great, it’s one of my favorite colors as you can see the theme of Lipzing which is pink pink.

Organic food is so common nowadays but what about organic lip balm? Have you tried it before?

I know we tend to ‘eat’ our lip balms accidentally, if it’s organic, it should be safer if the materials go into our body.  By the way, the defination of organic lip balm according to Eco Lips is  lip balm made with nutrient rich organic ingredients.

It’s good to apply natural remedies to treat chapped lips. I’ve introduced honey, Vitamin E, red dates, gouqi, lemon and yogurt as ingredients of red, moist and healthy lips in my previous post. They should help in preventing or soothing dry and chapped lips.

But, there are flaws of home remedies for lip care. Guess what? It takes time to prepare, can’t keep for long and not as portable as commercial lip products. Thus, good quality natural lip balm and lip gloss are the alternatives for home remedies.

When we think about lip balm, Burt’s Bees would come into our mind. Undoubtedly, Burt’s Bees is the household name for lip balm. Would your mom remind you to apply Burt’s Bee when your lips were getting dry? Yes, my mom used to do that.

Burt’s Bees claims that its products are natural. In other words, their products use natural ingredients though there is no legal definition for the term ‘natural’. Burt’s Beens have a wide range of lip care products, people with chapped lips should go for Medicated Lip Balm for treatment and non-flavored Beewax Lip Balm for daily protection.

I emphasize on non-flavored balm as to avoid licking on your lips. If you put on strawberry, honey, mint or any other flavored balms, you would be tempted to lick and eat it, right? :) Our saliva tends to evaporate easily and the lips would become drier. (more…)
