For years I have battled with dry lips. I think it is because of my asthma, which means I’m a bit of a mouth breather, which leaves me with dry, chapped, cracked lips. I have found that if I keep them covered in a good lip balm I don’t seem to suffer as much, but I’ve really had a hard time finding a lip balm that wasn’t made with synthetic junk such as petrolatum and paraben. Who wants to use that on their lips, where you are sure to ingest it? Yuck, not me.
Then I found EOS, which is an USDA certified organic lip balm and a very cool lip balm indeed. They carry two different styles of balms; those in a smooth sphere which looks a bit like a small Easter egg and those in a more traditional stick. I got to try the Summer Fruit Lip Balm Smooth Sphere and the Sweet Mint Lip Balm Smooth Stick. As soon as I took them out of the packaging, both Matthew and Nico came running. They have a bit of a lip balm addiction and love to try whatever lip balm I’m using. They have been known to get into my makeup drawer, looking for lip balm, and wound up getting into my tinted lip balms. With EOS I don’t have to worry. First, they aren’t colored, so the boys don’t look like mommy is taking them to a Rave. Instead they are made with good products like organic jojoba oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, organic beeswax, organic Stevia extract and vitamin E. Secondly, they are available in some very cool and contemporary flavors/scents. The spheres come in honeysuckle honeydew, summer fruit and sweet mint. I tried the summer fruit which is made with blueberry, strawberry and peach fruit extracts, all of which are organic. Nico really likes this one. It smells like a summer fruit salad. I often find him holding the two halves of the sphere while he covers his lips in the balm. The sticks come in vanilla bean, pomegranate raspberry and sweet mint. I also had the chance to try the sweet mint, which is a sweet peppermint stick. What I really like about both of these is the fact that they don’t taste fake and overbearing. I dislike many of the mainstream lip balms because the flavors are synthetic and taste like chemicals. Not EOS Lip Balms. And because they don’t come in a more traditional lip balm pot, they are very hygienic. You can carry them anywhere and use them without the worry of clean hands, because unlike the lip balm pots, with EOS your are not using your finger to apply the lip balm.
EOS is available at www.drugstore.com, www.evolutionofsmooth.com, select Target stores (August/September), Walgreens (July), Duane Reade (August/September), Rite Aid (July) and Space NK. And one of the coolest aspects of these organic lip balms is the fact that they are Made in the USA!!!
I love my EOS and I really think you will like them too. I would love to hear what you have to say about EOS once you try it. Remember to stop back and leave me a comment.
