3 REASONS TO OPT FOR AN ORGANIC LIP BALM!

Are you tired of your chapped dull lips?

Well, it happens to most of us. And then we choose to run after a hundred big products only to end up feeling disappointed. In Fact, sometimes these products tend to increase the problem instead of solving them.

So, I guess it's time to turn towards something natural. After all natural is always better.

Here’s a list of reasons why you should choose organic lip balms over synthetic ones:

No Chemicals, No damage

The synthetic lip balms contain several toxic chemicals that continuously excoriate our lips. They contain artificial skin softeners, colors, silicon dioxides and zinc oxides, which are quite harsh on the delicate tissues of a human lip. Moreover, due to the proximity of the lips and the buccal cavity, it’s very easy for these chemicals to mix with the saliva and seep into our guts.

Many standard lip balms also contain parabens and petroleum. These chemicals tend to cause severe damage to the skin. They may even result in tumors and dermatitis. 

The organic lip balm, on the other hand, uses herbal extracts like mint or basil.

They use essential oils, vitamins, aloe, cocoa butter, and other natural stuff that provide overall nourishment to the skin. The organic lip balms feel gentler and do not cause any irritation.

Natural healing and protection

If we think carefully, we’ll understand that the health of our lips is quite important for our entire oral health. Hence, it's important to have a check on the bacterias entering our mouth. The organic lip balm contains aloe vera, olive oil, and beeswax. These elements are full of antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

They avert any unwanted bacterial interaction and keep our mouth free from infections. Aloe also helps in the recovery of damaged tissues and provides moisture to the lips.

Beeswax offers many such benefits. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays, infections, and also softens the lips. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties protect our skin from any damage and keep our skin healthy.

However, the synthetic chapsticks sell us chemicals like Oxybenzone, PABA, and Zinc oxide in the name of sunscreen. These chemicals not only harm our skin but are serious threats to our overall health. They may lead to permanent skin damage, hormonal distortion, or even cancers.

Environment-friendly

By now you would be thinking that these synthetic products are only harming your skin and health. If you see the bigger picture, you’ll realize that they are also contributing to the environmental damage. Most of the synthetic lip balms contain petrochemicals. Petroleum extraction is in itself a consumptive and non-eco-friendly process. Plus, these chemicals are non-degradable, unlike organic products.

And now it’s time to enlighten the vegans. You should know that your standard chapstick has loads and loads of animal products. They contain blubber, tallow, feathers, scales whereas the organic lip balms are mostly vegan.
