DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INGREDIENTS

Sweet Almond Oil A great nutrient for moisturizing, softening and conditioning.  Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and E, it beautifies, nourishes and helps heal the lips. This oil has a fine texture and is easily absorbed, leaving the lips soft and smooth without a greasy feel.  
Apricot Kernel Oil A light oil rich in vitamins A, D & E and in both oleic acid and linoleic acid Non-greasy and easily absorbed into the skin, apricot kernel oil is frequently used in massage.  A great moisturizing and conditioning oil for lips that are inflamed and dry.  It has been said to aid in the repair of the skins elasticity.
Beeswax, unrefined Creates a very light natural barrier on your lips that prevents the loss of moisture and helps to seal in the moisturizing oils and butters.  We use unrefined beeswax with the sweet smell of honey, which nourishes and soothes the skin.  Skin-nourishing propolis and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals are found in unrefined beeswax. 
Castor Oil Rich in fatty acids, it is a soothing, lubricating oil that is readily absorbed by the skin.  It moisturizes by acting as a humectant which means it attracts and locks moisture to the skin, creating very emollient lip balm.
Illipe Butter Very similar in nature to cocoa butter, illipe butter moisturizes the lips and helps restore elasticity. Many believe it to be the most nourishing of the healing butters.

Vitamin E An effective anti-oxidant  and it is anti-inflammatory, vitamin E Heals and repairs, moisturizes, and promotes a smooth skin texture.  Vitamin E penetrates below the skin's surface and is believed to rejuvenate skin cells. 

Why Ida's All Natural Lip Butter Balms Are Better!

Balms made specifically for lips have been around for more than 100 years.  Sadly, Dr. Charles Brown Fleet, the inventor of lip balm in 1889, created his formula with petroleum-based products and variations of his formula are still used in commercial lip balms today.

We now know that petroleum-based lip balms do NOT help chapped lips, since petroleum jelly, (also known as petrolatum), is not absorbed by the skin.  Petroleum based products simply coat the skin, similar to wrapping the skin in plastic food wrap, inhibiting its ability to breathe, absorb moisture, and release toxins.

Petroleum based lip balms provide a quick fix for dry, chapped lips, by trapping the moisture on the surface of your lips.  Although your lips may feel less dry, you must continuously reapply the petroleum based lip products in order to keep your lips feeling moist.  These products prevent the thin lip skin from breathing and may cause greater irritation or even infection when bacteria become trapped between the petroleum lip coating and the lip skin.

A moisturizing lip balm, like a good skin cream, should penetrate the skin--not simply coat in the skin's surface and feel greasy.  Although you would never consider coating your body with petroleum jelly to make it feel slick and slippery, that is exactly what commercial advertising has told us we want for our lips.   Because our lip butter balm absorbs quickly, you will not feel a slippery gloss that stays on the lip surface as with commercial lip balms.  The moisturizing oils and butters, rich in Vitamin E, will penetrate deep into the skin cells, where they belong, to hydrate and moisture your lips.

Ida’s all natural Lip Butter Balm contains
no petroleum jelly--no parabens--NO artificial ingredients. 
Our lip balm is made from 100% natural ingredients,
rich in Vitamin E, exotic butters, and botanicals oils,
which are easily absorbed by the skin cells.

and like a sponge, absorbs chemicals.

What do you want to put on your lips?

PLEASE NOTE:  During the hot summer months we are unable to guarantee that the lip butter balms will arrive in the same condition that they were sent.  Lip Butter purchased during hot weather may melt during shipping.  If your lip butter softens or melts, place it in the refrigerator until it becomes firm. This does not harm the product or its effectiveness!

Allergy Alert: Although our lip butter balms are made with all natural ingredients, many people are allergic to natural ingredients such as certain plants, nuts, and oils. An ingredient that is very mild and soothing for one person can be an allergen for another!  Please read through all ingredients listed.  In case you are in doubt do an "allergy patch test" prior to using the products.
