There is what in that store bought Chapstick?

According to morenature.com "There are a lot of bad and possibly even toxic chemicals like oxybenzone and petrolatum included as ingredients in many popular chapstick brands."
They go on to say that "Most lip moisturizer contains paraben or petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly. Petroleum? You mean like the stuff in gasoline?"
I had no idea till recently how bad some of this stuff was.. I mean gross .. we actually ingest that stuff because it is on our lips!
Also ...
" OL (which indicates alcohol) and salicylic acid are two more ingredients that may cause some people irritation. "According to lifehacker.com
The difference...
The difference...
Now, we have some lipbalms in our line with only 3 to 4 natural ingredients.. plus Vit. E sometimes. Stuff that's real... Our beeswax is from a local farmer! We use minimal packaging when we can also. We just did a batch of peppermint which sold almost 1/2 within the first day!
We try to include balms in the Spa in A jar lines! So excited to be producing this line!
We encourage natural items as much as possible. It doesn't always happen with all the stuff you use.. but helps when you try!
Till next time, Bree
