Cruelty Free Swap #5: Lip Balm


I’ve rounded up my Top 4 cruelty free lipbalms so ditch the Chapstick and go for something that is certified cruelty free, features organic ingredients, supports local businesses or is just excellent all without the nasty stuff.

Go-To Skincare Lips!
I was at the movies with a friend a couple of weeks ago and when I pulled some of this out in the chilly movie theatre to hydrate dry skin, they asked what it was because it smelt so damn fine. It smells like a delicious fruity cocktail during a warm summers night and is full of ingredients that your pout will love. Ultra medical grade lanolin, pomegranate, apricot kernel, avocado, almond, evening primrose, vitamin E and jojoba oils as well as beeswax, calendula and shea butter are all packed into one cute little peach tube that is just ready to tackle your dry and cracked lips and just keep them all loved and protected.

Lanolips Lemonaid
For years I was obsessed with the Lip Ointments with Colour in the shade Rhubarb from Lanolips and would wear it almost every day. Then I finished up the tube and had others to get through so my love got lost in the background until I got a tube of Lemonaid in a beauty box and my love reignited like a flame. The Lanolips products are just so good but they feel a little thicker on the lips than other products but the results outweigh the heaviness. The Lemonaid is the perfect treat for your pout in cooler weather as it has a summery smell of fresh homemade lemonade but the combination of lanolin with organic lemon oil exfoliates lips and get rid of dry flaky skin while continuing to hydrate, treat, protect and doing it all with a slight sparkle.

Kora Organics Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm
Organic lipbalm at its finest! Packed full of jojoba oil, avocado and rosehip oil as well as Vitamins C and E this leaves lips feeling so soft. It is free from sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances and colours, silicones, formaldehyde, ethoxylate and PEGS, so you are basically left with lots ingredients that care and nuture the lips. It leaves lips looking glossy so it is great for wearing over lipsticks if you feel they are drying out your pout.

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint
This has become my every day staple lipbalm and I’m just going to go ahead and crown in my favourite of all time. My lips feel naked when I’m not using it, it is just absolutely terrific. It includes lots of great ingredients including coconut and sunflower oil as well as Vitamin E which is used in a lot of skincare for its nourishing and repairing quality; and also beeswax which is just a great all rounder. The peppermint leaves lips smelling fresh, tingly and looking plump and makes it great to apply as a base before lip liner and other lip products. I’m nearly halfway through the tube and I only got this two months ago, I use it everyday without fail. This also replaced my obsession with the non cruelty free Nuxe Reve De Miel as it does just a great job as its animal testing counterpart.
