Therapeutic Lip Balm
Hi everyone! I have to admit, my motivation for
making this lip balm was a little selfish. Working outside during the summer, I got a little dehydrated a couple of times and my lips got chapped. Well, I grabbed my favorite lip balm (it starts with a C and ends with an x) – especially at night. One night my left leg was just screaming in pain and I couldn’t get comfortable. Used the lip balm and took a look at the ingredients. Dang. Seriously. You put that on your lips and basically eat it – even if you don’t think you eat it, your body absorbs it. Where do you think it goes?
The thing about people who are chemists and such – they really believe the chemicals they use are the only way to achieve a certain result. Well, I don’t believe so. With each product I create to eliminate chemicals from our lives, I am affirmed that my belief about being able to have quality, natural personal care products without toxins IS possible – REALLY – my ingredient lists are pronounce-able and understandable!
At any rate, much like with the original lip balm, this balm has menthol and camphor to stimulate blood flow – this increases healing, but it also gives the lips a nice, natural blush. This one also has my “healing oil” which is olive oil infused with herbs. Here’s my ingredient list.
Hand Crafted with Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Olive oil meticulously infused with Calendula, Comfrey root, Comfrey leaf, St. Johns Wort, Arnica, and Echinacea, Beeswax, Lanolin, Organic Hemp Oil, Shea Butter, Camphor, Menthol, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil, Vitamin E, Rosemary Extract
