With our switch over to completely vegan body care formulas, one of the other new additions to the Botanical Earth product line is our new Olive Oil Lip Balms. With so many of our customers having extremely sensitive skin, or allergies to nut oils, I wanted to create something just for them. The new formula lip balms are made with only organic virgin olive oil, castor oil, candelilla wax and vitamin e as the base. Currently there is an unscented one and tingly mega mint.
You’ll still be able to have our popular hemp lip balm! It’s just now offered in a variety of blends which is new. I switched the organic shea butter to organic cocoa butter because of the texture the shea butter can develop when heated and slowly cooled. I like the cocoa butter better myself – so that’s the benefit when you own the business! After much searching, I found some wonderful organic vegan chocolate that when blended with chocolate absolute from France makes a great cocoa lip balm.
