Dreamsicle Lip Balm

WHAT'S IN OUR LIP BALM

Cocos Nucifera (coconut oil): is extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It's an excellent skin moisturizer and can help reduce the look of wrinkles and stretch marks.

Beeswax: (cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into scales by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker bees, which discard it in or at the hive. Chemically, beeswax consists mainly of esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols. Beeswax is used as a lubricant in cosmetics. We use beeswax that has not been chemically processed or bleached.

Ricinus Communis (castor oil): Pressed from castor beans, a natural moisturizer, castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. These types of fats act as humectants and can be used to moisturize the skin. Humectants retain moisture by preventing water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Castor oil is often used in cosmetics to promote hydration.

Cocos Nucifera (cocoa butter): Rich in natural plant compounds. High in fatty acids, it has the ability to hydrate and nourish the skin. To harness cocoa butter, the beans are taken out of the larger cacao plant. Then they’re roasted, stripped, and pressed to separate out the fat. The end result is cocoa butter that is used in our products.

The butter can replenish moisture and create a barrier to protect your skin from moisture loss. Compared to other oils and creams, cocoa butter tends to be absorbed well without leaving skin greasy.

Persea Gratissima (avocado oil infused with organic calendula): Avocado oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit of the Persea americana (avocado). As a food oil, it is used as an ingredient in other dishes, and as a cooking oil. It is also used for lubrication and in cosmetics, where it is valued for its regenerative and moisturizing properties.

It is pressed from the fleshy pulp surrounding the avocado pit and not the pit itself.The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in avocado oil help your skin stay smooth, strong, and elastic.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. It is well known for its skin-loving properties, including the ability to protect the skin from free radicals.

Flavor Oil: Flavor oils are an aromatic addition to oil soluble products such as lip balms, lipsticks, and body butters. Despite their name, flavor oils do not offer any real flavor. They are actually highly concentrated food safe fragrance oils. The addition of a sweetener can greatly enhance the flavor.
