So, the weather’s getting cooler and your lips are starting to peel? Am I right? Are you looking for quality lip protection without feeling guilty about using products that have been tested on animals?

Well, look no further. I bring you – the Cadillacs of the lip balm world! I have personally tested these and they have my NO-STICKINESS guarantee! (I despise sticky lip products.)

1. Dr. Hauschka’s Lip Care Stick – jojoba oil, shea butter, almond oil, carrot extract and other natural ingredients combine to make this super luxe, non-sticky lip balm that gives you protection without causing dependency (like lip balms that contain drying ingredients can do).

2. Payot’s Hydratation 24 Protection Levres – luxurious French brand Payot has a great hydrating lip balm with SPF 10. It’s made with shea butter, macadamia oil and jojoba oil. Hitting the slopes this winter? Bring this along.

3. Sircuit Skin Cosmeceuticals’ Mangilla lip balm – this is a scent I’d never smelled before – very yummy! No artificial ingredients here. Sunflower oil, beeswax, coconut oil and aloe vera make this a great lip balm staple.

4. Burt’s Bees lip balm – my old standby! How can I ever stop loving my Burt’s Bees lip balm? They have glosses, lip sticks and medicated lip balm, but I have never stopped loving the original formula. In addition to the beeswax, the ingredients also include lanolin, coconut oil and sunflower oil. The minty flavor is what makes it for me!

5. NZP Naturals lip balm comes in a little pot (like Carmex) but you definitely won’t get addicted to it and it won’t dry out your lips at all. Quite the opposite! It’s super thick thanks to the main ingredient – cruelty-free lanolin. I put this on every night to get soft, kissable lips in the morning. I definitely recommend this for those who live in colder climates.
