*Ingredients & Benefits:
Essential Oil: The very smell of orange essential oil reminds you of happy moments and brings pleasant thoughts to mind. That is why this oil is so frequently used in aromatherapy. It creates a happy, relaxed feeling and works as a mood lifter, perfect for people who suffer from depression or chronic anxiety.
Coconut oil: Moisturizing. Prevents dry and flaky skin and chapped lips. It also delays the appearance of sagging skin. Helps in treating various skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin infections.
Shea oil: Best for moisture since it actually absorbs into the skin and has healing properties. It offers UV protection (SPF 6). Often used to remedy dry skin and help protect the skin's natural oils.
Jojoba Oil: Plant Wax That Re-Balances Oil, Keeps Acne At Bay Coating New Hair Growth, Strengthens Hair, Helps Prevent Breakage.
Castor oil: Helps the lip balm go on smoothly, adds a bit of gloss
Cocoa butter: The emollient properties of cocoa butter act as a protective barrier by supplying and retaining moisture in the lips and skin. Cocoa butter also contains antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, which can help slow the signs of aging. Cocoa Butter is also what gives this lip balm it’s Chocolatey flavor!
Beeswax: Can act as an emollient (moisturizer) as well as protect your lips from the elements, but the most important role it plays is that it is what gives your lip balm its stiffness and body so that it can be easily transported and applied.
Stevia drops: Adds a sweet taste. Stevia is what makes your senses think that you are tasting the flavor of the lip balm.
