How Natural Lip Balm Can Soothe and Heal Chapped Lips

Lip balm is a staple, everyday product for modern Kiwis. Convenient lip balm can be slipped into your bag or pocket so you always have it on hand, regardless of whether you want to add a lovely tint to your lips, protect your lips from sunlight or revive chapped skin. If you’re interested in holistically soothing your lips, you should look for natural lip balm that’s made from sustainable, cruelty-free ingredients. 

Why You Should Use Lip Balm Every Day

Why make lip balm a part of your daily essentials? Here are just a few reasons to think about:

• Maintain Your Lips. Choose a natural lip balm that includes nourishing ingredients like fruit extracts and oils to support the health and appearance of your lips. 

• Protect Your Skin. Consider a gentle lip balm if you’re currently dealing with chapped lips, cold sores or dryness. For added defence, choose a lip balm with SPF protection. Not only will lip balm help your lips heal, but it can also prevent problems down the track. 

• Add Pigment Or Glossiness. You can choose a tinted lip balm if you want to add some colour to your lips, or you can pick a sheer option to add a nice glossy finish. Comprehensive makeup products like natural lip balm, tinted moisturiser and BB cream let you support your health while enhancing your appearance.

Lip balm is the perfect choice for any kind of Kiwi, no matter if you regularly use makeup or prefer to stay all natural. Just take a few seconds to apply your natural lip balm every day to enjoy healthier lips. It’s fast, easy and very beneficial. 

A Few Ingredients To Avoid When Choosing Your Lip Balm

These ingredients may be prevalent, but that doesn’t mean they’re good for you: 

• Parabens: Parabens are linked to an increased risk of certain conditions, such as cancer.

• Petroleum Jelly: This may cause lip irritation. 

• Menthol, Camphor, Phenol Or Alcohol: These ingredients are often used so that lip balm has a cooling sensation, but they can also cause irritation or damage the outer layers of your skin. 

• Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) And Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT): These preservatives have been linked to medical conditions like cancer. 

Natural Ingredients To Look For When Choosing Lip Balm

So, what kinds of ingredients should you look for when reading through ingredient lists? Here are just a handful of wholesome, healthy ingredients that are often included in natural lip balm:

• Plant-Based Oils. Plant oils, like avocado oil and carrot seed oil, are full of essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E. This can soften dry lips and support skin healing in a natural way. Castor seed oil acts as a humectant (a substance that attracts water), so it draws moisture into the lips while giving lips a lovely, shiny finish - no synthetic shine, just glorious gloss. 

• Green Tea Extract And Blackberry Extract. Green tea and blackberries are full of antioxidants. Botanical extracts help prevent environmental damage to your lips, calming irritation and reducing inflammation while supporting supple skin.

• Aloe Vera. Aloe vera is a classic natural ingredient, and is used for products meant for all over your body - from your hair to your lips. Aloe barbadensis leaf extract provides instant cooling and hydration, perfect for lips that are already healthy or cracked lips that need a little help. 

• Coconut Emollients. Soothing, nourishing emollients are used to ensure natural lip balms are lightweight and lovely, not sticky and heavy. This texture melts on your lips and leaves a beautiful shine.

• Carnauba Wax. Copernicia cerifera, or carnauba wax, creates a breathable shield over your skin that locks in moisture and prevents chapping. 

• Lemon Peel Oil. Who doesn’t love lemony freshness? Citrus medica limonum peel oil helps deliver a light, refreshing scent that feels clean and uplifting without any artificial fragrances.

Natural lip balms are also far more likely to be vegan and eco-friendly, allowing you to stick to your morals without compromising your skincare or your makeup routine. Choose skincare products that are great for your skin and the environment, and look for claims that align with your principles and health needs. The lip balm we stock at Nails & More, LipDrink Lip Balm by Jane Iredale, is vegan, gluten-free and reef safe.

These lip balms offer Kiwis natural nourishment and subtle beauty, all without any chemicals or synthetic ingredients. Protect your skin, make eco-friendly choices and look and feel amazing every day when you choose care products made from natural materials.
