Winter Organic Lip Balm
Rich protective care with beeswax, shea butter and botanical oils
Cold weather, wind and dry indoor air can quickly leave the lips feeling dry, rough and uncomfortable.
This Winter Organic Lip Balm combines beeswax, shea butter and botanical oils in a simple anhydrous formula.
Beeswax creates a protective film, shea butter provides rich conditioning, almond and coconut oils contribute softness, while castor oil gives the balm excellent glide and a slightly glossy finish.
Because the formula contains no water, it does not require a conventional preservative. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and helps protect the oils from oxidation.
