Raw Beeswax
We use a raw Western Australian beeswax from a local supplier in our lip balm which is unheated, unprocessed and comes direct from the honeycomb. We chose beeswax because of it’s ability to condition, hydrate, soothe, calm and soften dry and cracked skin to restore it back to it’s natural smoothness. We love that it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin and by using it regularly it prevents further dryness by providing a long lasting natural barrier which is perfect for lips which do not contain their own oil glands and for anyone living in harsh or extreme weather conditions or a dry climate.
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Our lip balm contains certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil that is raw, cold pressed, triple filtered, unrefined and has absolutely no additives. It is also from an Australian owned company and has a very mild flavour and taste (it is hardly detectable in the lip balm). We chose coconut oil to use in our lip balm because of its ability to hydrate the skin and provide a protective barrier by locking in moisture. It can penetrate the skin easily, due to the small size of its molecules and it is suitable for sensitive, inflamed and irritated skin. Coconut oil also has the ability to soften and promote the growth of newer, healthier skin whilst preventing future dryness. The main constituents of coconut oil are: Capric Acid and Caprylic Acid, Linoleic Acid (Polyunsaturated Fats), Oleic Acid (Monounsaturated Fats), Polyphenols (Virgin Coconut Oil only), and Medium-Chain Triglycerides.
CAPRIC ACID AND CAPRYLIC ACID - Exhibit antimicrobial and antifungal properties which protects the lip balm from contamination
LINOLEIC ACIDS - Promote moisture retention in skin and facilitate wound healing
OLEIC ACIDS - Maintain skin softness & suppleness and reduce the appearance of aging, such as premature wrinkles and fine lines
POLYPHENOLS - Repair dry, damaged skin, boost skin moisture levels and enhance skin cell growth
MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES - Offer intense moisturisation
Vitamin E
We have included Vitamin E, known as the ‘Skin Vitamin’ in our lip balm to act as a preservative and because of its skin maintaining properties. We chose a natural vitamin E because it has a higher bioavailability and is absorbed 2-5 times more efficiently by the body than synthetic Vitamin E and it is also ethically sourced. Vitamin E is very nourishing and hydrating to the skin, it soothes, prevents dryness and repairs damaged skin to facilitate healing by promoting the growth of new skin. Vitamin E is also a stabiliser and can extend the shelf life of skincare products to prevent them from going rancid.
