ORGANIC CASTOR & HEMP SEED OIL Castor oil and hemp seed oil are among the top oils recommended by dermatologists to help soothe dry, chapped lips, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. These oils are easily absorbed into the skin, so they tend to moisturize on a deeper level than synthetic ingredients. They are full of antioxidants and essential fatty acids, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and moisturize skin—resulting in a plumper, younger-looking appearance. | RAW ORGANIC FAIR TRADE HONEY Hailed as "liquid gold" due to its natural properties. Honey is a natural humectant, which means it absorbs moisture from the environment and locks it in. Raw honey even has the ability to exfoliate your skin, removing buildup and dead skin cells that can make your lips look rough and flaky. As a lip balm ingredient, raw honey keeps your lips soft, hydrated, and healthy. | ORGANIC FAIR TRADE SHEA & COCOA BUTTER Shea and cocoa butter are both loaded with moisturizing fatty acids. These fatty acids create a barrier on the skin that slows down water loss. They have nourishing nutrients that deeply hydrate skin and antioxidants to prevent premature aging. In addition to the moisturizing benefits of the fatty acids, shea butter also contains vitamins that help damaged skin, reduce collagen loss, and boost collagen production. Cocoa butter contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), which helps protect skin from environmental damage. | SEA BUCKTHORN FRUIT OIL Sea buckthorn oil is extracted from a small berry that grows on a shrub found in coastal and mountainous regions of Asia and Europe. Records of its use go back many centuries, not only in ancient Tibetan texts, but also in India, China and even in Ancient Greek Mythology. The fruit oil contains omega 3, 6, 9 and the highly sought-after omega 7, brilliant for aiding our skin, making this oil ideal for dry and damaged skin. It's fast absorbing, this nutritious berry has twelve times the amount of Vitamin C as oranges. |
