I’ve been addicted to Carmex for years and wanted to switch to something plastic-free. I was nervous because I hadn’t found anything as moisturising, but this product blew me away. Within one application my lips felt so nourished! The texture and the subtle scent are both perfect. Cannot wait to try different flavours, but I’ve a feeling I’ll always have one of these in my drawer!
I am really loving the new vegan compostable tube balm range! It's so great to be able to have a quality product that works, while also knowing that you're being kind to the planet. <3
The scent of this is so calming and subtle, it's minty but not so strong that it makes your lips zing, I definitely prefer it to any of my shops bought balms, no contest!
I so so love this lipbalm! It’s so soothing for my dry lips! It smells amazing! And it’s eco friendly! Just perfection!
