My latest 100% natural find is NZP Lip Balm. It instantly soothes dry, chapped lips with a wonderful list of ultra-gentle ingredients. The ingredients include Hypoallergenic Lanolin, Glycerin, Sodium Stearyl Lactylate, Peppermint Oil, Coconut Oil, Stevia, Aloe Vera Gel, Sweet Almond Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Vitamins A and E and Menthol. And I can tell the difference on my lips. They feel like they can breathe, not heavy or greasy, just soft and supple.

NZP stands for New Zealand’s Purest, which is where this company gets their pure and natural lanolin. It’s carefully derived from the shorn wool of sheep in a cruelty-free process. Lanolin has been used in many skin care products over the years because of its nearly identical makeup as the skin’s natural oils.

But this is just one of NZP’s wonderful products, they also offer hand and foot lotions that soften and smooth even the driest parts of your body.

My Lip Stuff, Meet My Beauty Bunny!

And charmed, I sure am–I recently located My Lip Stuff on both Leaping Bunny and Caring Consumer, and was attracted to the catchy brand name and its impressive motto: serious skin care with a fun flair! How could I resist sampling some of these lip balms and then spreading the good word?! (My own lips are certainly grateful for my discovery; I think yours will be, too.)

Cruelty Free PETA lip balm

Aside from the excellent company credentials  and corporate mission, check out the plethora of available flavors –over 500 and growing–each made with the same natural ingredients:

• beeswax (derived naturally from bees and harvested without any cruel or inhumane treatment. check the MLS FAQs for more info; beeswax-free formulas are also available)
• cocoa butter
• castor oil
• sunflower oil
• sweet almond oil
• jojoba oil
• avocado oil
• aloe vera
• essential and/or flavor oil(s)

If all of those choices aren’t appetizing enough, there are also fun label lip balms: specialty-themed–and clever–in their own right.

Of the three  flavors I tested, I would have to say I honestly preferred the vanilla nut roll the most–but I didn’t get to try the chocolate cheesecake (mmmm two of my favorite tastes together!) yet. An extremely reasonable $2.50 per tube, you could taste-test 8 different flavors for $20 and still have money left to spend on other goodies the store has to offer, not the least of which includes the charitabalms. These individual flavors–and labels– each support their own  note-worthy animal charity; your purchase does help make a difference!

To help introduce My Beauty Bunny’s readers to My Lip Stuff, we’re giving away a package of 6 flavored lip balms to 1 lucky winner (please note: flavors will be selected randomly).

The lip butters have tons of moisturizing and soothing ingredients for your kisser – shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax jojoba oil and sunflower oil.  They also have melon seed extract, carrot root extract and pumpkin seed extract.

Many of you have tried the lip butter already, but…now Yes to Carrots has come out with lip tints and lip glosses. So – how do they stack up?

All of the Yes to Carrots lip products are natural – made with 95% organic ingredients, no parabens, petroleum or phthalates (that can dry out lips).  And, never any animal testing of course. They also avoid carmine (a popular coloring agent made from crushed beetle shells).

The lip tints are very similar to the product by Burt’s Bees.  The lip tints are sort of in-between a lip balm and a lipstick.  They go on smooth, are NOT STICKY and they have a wonderful cooling sensation!  They come in a great range of colors – my fave is the light pink, which is just one step above natural lips – but gives me that polished look.

For more shine and oomph, I add the lip gloss on top of my lip tint (or lipstick).  This is one of the only lip glosses I like because again – it’s NOT STICKY.  There’s nothing I hate more than sticky crap on my lips.  Especially when the wind blows and my hair gets stuck to my face. Not cool. But, Yes to Carrots has made a wonderful product.  It’s kind of like the Burt’s Bees lip gloss (which I also like), but these have much more pigment, so other people can actually tell you have something on.  There’s even a glittery, red gloss that would be fantastic over red lipstick!

I highly recommend the Yes to Carrots line of lip products. Run – don’t walk – to your neighborhood drugstore and pick some up. You won’t regret it.
