Whether you’re basking on the beach or hitting the slopes, dry lips are often the painful result of an outdoor lifestyle. Not only is the environment wearing out your dry, chapped lips, but you’ve also probably noticed that drugstore chapstick doesn’t do the job of calming your kisser. How many times have you wondered, “Does chapstick make your lips more chapped?” Unfortunately, as we’ll reveal below, your suspicion that ordinary chapstick often doesn’t hydrate or protect is correct, and your best remedy is an organic lip balm with natural ingredients to moisturize and smooth.

The Eminence Organics Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 is an organic treatment that soothes dry, chapped lips with moisturizing rosehip oil, while rejuvenating lavender helps restore softness and natural zinc oxide protects. Here are three reasons why our Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 eliminates chronic dry lips:

1. Break Chapstick Addiction

If you’ve smeared your dry lips with ordinary chapstick but felt them tighten and dry just shortly afterwards, this reaction can be due to chapstick ingredients like petroleum. Studies show that petroleum doesn’t actually hydrate or nourish the skin at all - it seals the lips so moisture can’t escape but also prevents moisture from getting in. Other problem chapstick ingredients include wax and lanolin, which may be natural but often cause allergic reactions that result in dry and even itchy lips. 

Like all of our lip care products, Eminence Organics Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 uses all-natural ingredients. This Eminence Organics lip balm draws its moisturizing properties from ingredients like rosehip oil and organic extra virgin olive oil rather than petroleum, wax or lanolin. Formulated to smooth and hydrate dry lips, it is enriched with rosehip oil packed with EFAs, vitamins C and E and betacarotene, and olive oil containing vitamins A and E for dry skin. These oils mimic the sebum naturally produced by our bodies, resulting in long-term hydration for the lips.

2. Avoid Sunburned Lips

We all know about the dangers of sun damage and nothing leads to the peril of dry, peeling lips faster than exposure to the sun. Along with our array of sun care products, Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 protects your pucker from potential sun damage. Formulated with zinc oxide and its all-natural sun protection, this Eminence Organics treatment is the best lip balm for skiing, summer activities and all-season action.

3. Stop Ingesting Harmful Lip Balm Ingredients

You’ve probably heard the alarming figure that a woman consumes about 6 pounds of lipstick during her lifetime. Although the number could be less - Snopes. com quotes a 1990 National Health and Medical Research Council in Canberra, Australia study that stands by a more modest 1-3 pounds - the fact is that there is a significant amount of lip product or lipstick that a woman eats in her lifetime. By choosing an alternative to ordinary chapstick and ingredients like petroleum - which potentially contains carcinogenic chemicals - you are protecting your health by avoiding chemicals that may cause harm or even cancer.
