Natural Lip Balm

Description

Our soothing lip balm helps protect and nourish dry chapped lips. The scents are heavenly – both uplifting and calming. Our moisturizing blend of oils and butters glides on smooth with no waxy feel.

Doctor Mercola on petrolatum : “These petroleum products coat the skin like plastic – clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins. They can disrupt hormonal activity. When you think about black oil pumped from deep underground, ask yourself why you’d want to put that kind of stuff on your skin”

When you regularly expose your body to toxins (all kind of toxins even in the air, in your food, by taking prescription drugs etc) you overwhelm your liver and your body will have a harder time getting rid of and filtering these toxins. As a consequence we get sick. It’s really hard to change the air you breathe but it’s quite easy to change your lip balm.
A soothing blend of plant-based butters and waxes calm the skin and protect from environmental stressors.

Show your lips some love with Bushyhead Botanicals’ super-smooth, hydrating formula. It leaves your lips moisturized and happy, while essential oils and lip safe food grade flavor oils add a delicious pop of flavor!

Prevent moisture loss that leads to chapping and flaking.

About the Ingredients…

Coconut oil is the base of this lip balm formula because it has many health and wellness benefits.
Coconut oil is safe to use on lips and easy to spread. It is a rich source of Omega 3, 6, 9 as well as vitamins and minerals. It has healing properties to soothe chapped lips. It acts as an emollient, softens and moisturizes the skin and lips. AAAAAnd, it helps prevent premature aging.

🥑 Avocado oil is often used by therapists for clients with dry or mature skins, or people suffering from eczema or psoriasis, and is very useful when treating sun or climate damaged skin that is dehydrated and undernourished as it is said to help with regenerating the skin and softening the tissue. Avocado oil, in addition to being an antioxidant powerhouse, has UV-damage reversing properties and is a must-have for everyone who is susceptible to the damage caused by the sun’s rays. (THE reason I’ve got it in my suntan oil listing 🙂

Castor oil is an important ingredient in this lip balm formula because it gives it a smooth finish… As they say, “It also gives lip balm a nice glide.” 🙂 Castor oil is one of the oils recommended by dermatologists to help soothe chapped lips, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

And remember…. Drink plenty of water. Chapped lips are dry lips, so you want to stay hydrated.

What’s NOT in our lip balm…

ZERO parabens.
ZERO propylene glycol.
ZERO BHA.

Another no-no is BHA, used as a preservative in many cosmetics. It’s been shown to have carcinogenic effects in test animals, making it pretty risky for use on your skin or lips. Keep a close eye out for this one (and it’s cousin BHT) — they’re even featured on ingredient lists of some of the ‘healthier’ lip balms, too. Let’s be honest, who wants a carcinogen on their lips? Instead of using potentially hazardous preservatives in our lip balms, we use tocopherol (vitamin E) and antifungal rosemary to keep our formulas fresh.

HOW TO USE…

Apply lip balm liberally to your lips as often as needed, particularly in dry, cold or windy conditions.
