We want to see the Earth treated kindly and with respect. To us, this means sourcing and using fair trade and organic ingredients in all of our products. The "certified" part means that there is a system in place for verifying the authenticity of the ingredient. These lip balms, for instance, use about 99% certified organic ingredients, and the good news is that our Balms are now USDA Certified Organic as well! Good news for all concerned! Subtle natural flavor and fragrance blends soothe and smooth lips, and they can be used to refresh dry skin anywhere on the body. These natural lip balms are lighter textured than our Cocoa Butter Balms. They also sport the antioxidant powers of Seabuckthorn Berry and Rose Hip Extracts, as well as an organic Aloe Vera Extract for added dry weather soothing.
