Benefits Of Eco Friendly Lip Balm

By Deborah Gray


Every one desires beautiful lips. Lips that remain smooth and radiant all day every day. Eco friendly lip balm is a sure way to achieve such aspirations. These products provide the necessary skin-deep care required by that of the body but still remain kind to the environment. It is easy to neglect or ignore this part because it may seem negligible. Who is going to notice a crack on there anyway? The ingredients used will be absorbed into the body. If the product consists of trash and poison, the body will feat on that.

One should not improve their appearance at the expense of the environment. The natural resources like water and energy must be properly utilized and not wasted. These products usually also bring with them some great health benefits. The ingredients contained therein have healing and antioxidant properties. Green living is the way to go for the sake of everyone.

Beeswax is a product of bees that is secreted into the hive. It is very useful in the cosmetic industry. Beeswax protects the delicate skin against the elements and keeps it supple. The lips will remain moist. Somehow, this element locks in moisture without blocking up pores. It is also an antibacterial. It will prevent infections and germs that could work towards causing sores and cracks.

Shea butter is derived from the Shea nuts. The trees grow in the African Savannah. Shea trees are wild. If this is not a present from Mother Nature nothing is. Shea butter is a rich source of Vitamin A and E. These are essential in healing the lips and maintaining their general health. It helps promote elasticity.

Aloe vera tastes very bad but the benefits far outweigh mere taste. Most people suffer darkened lips. This ingredient will be instrumental in ensuring the tone of the lips stays even. One will be free of cracks. Cold sores are annoying and ugly. Aloe will speed up the healing process and sooth the lips.

One can opt to make their own product at home. Since all the ingredients are natural, there will be no adverse effects. The first thing one needs is oil. Not just any oil but something natural like olive or almond. The oil will help with the moisturizing aspect. The next thing is beeswax. The product needs to be easily applicable. This ingredient will make it hard. It will also help keep the moisture in once the oil has done its job. Next is vitamin E extract. Even a tablet broken and crushed into the mixture will work. The concoction will need to be preserved and this is where the vitamin comes in. It will also heal crack and sores when they occur. The mixture will need a scent. This can be easily achieved with a few drops of an essential oil.

One must ensure they have read through and understood all the ingredients in a store-bought product. These are usually emblazoned on the packaging. The product with the least number of ingredients is the best. Anything that has a combination of the above without anything harmful like paraffin is worth considering for use.

The skin on the lips is thin and prone to damage. A few hours in the sun or out in the cold without some form of protection will surely cause damage. One must observe due care.
