Organic lip balm - lip balm discontinued by Evolution of Smooth - review by LittleA

This lip balm is fantastic. I know it's a little hard to swallow $7.99 for lip balm, but it is long lasting and so yummy. I've had several of these and given them as gifts, as well. They make great Christmas stocking stuffers and are cute for Easter because there are so many colors and flavors. My personal favorite is the honeysuckle; it has a nice, feminine flavor to it and makes your lips silky smooth. It's always a challenge to have a lip balm that you don't have to constantly reapply and that chaps your lips more, and this one is one of those.

The ingredients in EOS are nice and understandable. They are as follows: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Beeswax (Cire D'abeille)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Natural Flavor, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract*, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract*, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit Extract*, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract*, Linalool. * Organic. Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.

As you can see by the * the ingredients are organic. When it comes to putting something on your lips, it's nice to know it's not full of chemicals and things you can't pronounce.

The container is about as big as a walnut and is smooth, with a little indent for your fingers so you can twist it apart for the lip balm inside. The balm is domed for a full application. If you use it all the way to the rim like I have, you can use it by applying with your finger instead, which is kind of a downfall, but no different than a lot of lip applications. There are 1.4 oz of balm - pretty comparable to most products, as well.

So far I have not found a downfall to this product. It's so fun. I will say that after a long time of using it, the outside of the container will attract quite a bit of dirt, especially if you keep it in a purse or makeup bag.
