Is It Safe for my Lip?
When shopping for lip balm to take with you where ever you go always look for natural kip balms and lipsticks containing beeswax, iron oxides, jojoba, or other plant oils, and even ones with vitamin E.
It’s been reported that many women and even some men (that use lip balm) consume roughly 4 to 9 lbs of lipstick in there lifetime. So the more natural products in your lip stick or lip balm the better it is for your body in the long run.
Select lip colors containing emollients like shea butter and castor oil rather than matte formulas, which tend to dry out the lips eventually and you will keep applying the lip balm or lip stick.
The biggest threat among lip stick companies and your lips is lead. It has been linked to numerous health problems and is in more than half of the 33 top brand of lipstick on the market currently. One third of the lipsticks exceeded the 0.1 parts per million (PPM) FDA lead limit for even candy-a standard established to protect the children the eat the candy from directly ingesting lead.
Since natural lip balms and lip sticks don’t rely on chemical waxes, they are softer than drugstore and department store regular carried brand. They also have a tendency to melt at lower heat temperatures so don’t leave them in direct sunlight or low heat. Because the lips contain no oil glands, always keep lip balm handy with you with one that contain natural occlusive’s like beeswax, and candelilla wax. These ingredients act as barriers to trap the moisture in the lips so less applying of the lip balm or lip stick is needed.
Another FYI: If you drink at least the recommended eight, eight ounces glasses of water daily and regularity eat moisture-rich foods such as deep-water ocean fish help keep lips naturally moist overall.
