This lip balm is everything you want and more. It’s eco friendly in every way right down to the compostable packaging and of course plastic free. Bonus made in NZ which I don’t know that there are many other tube balms like it.
My one is So Cocoa and I was a little surprised that the actual product wasn’t brown (it’s a natural skin colour) as the packaging is a deep brown colour and with a beautiful yummy cocoa butter scent. I would say the tube is at least 50% bigger in comparison to a Burt’s Bees one so should last you many months at 9g. That’s quite economical even if the counter price is a bit higher than I’m used to. The texture is quite rich, not slippery or glossy and lasts a few hours with no discernible colour - just what you want for a balm to wear at home or before bed. There’s no flavour also if you accidentally taste it.
The tube is completely cardboard including the push up bit at the bottom. I’ve only needed to push it up once in the few weeks I’ve had this but it feels solid enough to last multiple opening/closing on the lid and base. I’ll be buying this one again in another variety and will try also to get my hubby to switch as he’s addicted to Chapstick and there are much better options than that.
I got this in a mystery box and I love everything about it. I am a lip balm finatic and have tried them all.... this is definitely up there with the best.
It comes in a tube which is compostable and you push the lip balm up from the bottom. The lid is quite loose so I'd be careful putting it somewhere it could easily fall off. It is wider than anything else I've ever used which I quite like. I got so cocoa and it smells absolutely delicious..... like chocolate but not overpowering or sickly.
It goes on smoothly and makes my lips feel hydrated but not sticky at all. It is a lovely moisturising formula and I don't know why I have not tried this before! I look forward to trying the rest of the range. Highly recommend!
