My First Impressions
I wanted to try this day balm for the urgent need of lip care. My lips have been dreadfully chapped and dry. I was willing to wait for my product to come in the mail so I could really put it to the test. (not a fun sacrifice, but I do it for you all!) I was so pleased when I applied this thick, lush product. I was instantly soothed.
This day balm felt very soft and smooth. It didn’t feel plastic like a lot of drugstore, quick fix lip chaps do. (if that makes sense) And guess what? it works! I definitely continued to reapply as needed, but I got fast results. My lips felt better than just relieving the dryness, they felt conditioned and well oiled 🙂
I am sure that all this fast acting lip care can be attributed to the ingredients in it that work so well.
Ingredients
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil*, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Beeswax (Cera Alba)*, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit*, Citrus Aurantium Dulcil (Orange) Fruit Oil, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Oil, Tocopherol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate. *Certified Organic Ingredients
Key Ingredients
Avocado Oil: Jam packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and a high amount of protein makes for a strong skin agent. Avocado oil also contains sterolin, which in new studies have shown to help soften the skin.
Sesame Seed Oil: Rich in Vitamin E and absorbs well into the skin. Helping heal and provide excellent moisture content. Sesame seed oil is a potent antioxidant that can be used as a natural sunscreen. It is still important to protect our lips from sun damage.
A hint of Vanilla gives it a pleasant, subtle aroma.
Use it Anywhere, Take it Anywhere!
What I love about this product is you can have it with you in your purse. It is a clear lip conditioner. Anytime your lips need a revive, you’ve got this by your side…
I find it is much better than other lip conditioners I’ve tried. It lasts long, and it has a great texture. I like to use it after I have done all my face care (cleanser, toner, moisturizer) It completes my routine. (Our lips need love too). A little bit goes a long way.
Final Thoughts
Basically a great lip conditioner. Excellent nourishing ingredients that you want on hand for any lip care needs. I feel good about using this product because it boasts highly effective organic ingredients. It is going to actually treat your lips, not just cover them with a plastic residue. It is great for anyone to use, very safe for kids 🙂
