USDA Organic Lip Balms

USDA Organic Lip Balms are a must have as the fall and winter weather quickly approaches. When the weather dries and the body starts to become thirsty or slightly dehydrated, the lips can start to become chapped and dry. It is important to stay hydrated and moisturize your skin, including having an USDA Organic lip balm and practicing healthy lip care.

We at EE narrowed down two main ingredients that we use in our USDA Organic lip balm that are sure to provide your lips with the nourishment they need. These ingredients are coconut oil and shea butter, which are well known for providing protection for your skin.

Coconut oil is a moisturizer that does more than hydrate your skin; it helps repair dry and damaged skin. Peeling, flaking, or rashes can be healed with regular usage. When lips are dry, they tend to peel and flake, which can cause pain or discomfort.

Coconut oil works great on other parts of your skin, so why not put it on your lips? It would leave them smooth and protect them from any sun damage as well—another grand benefit of coconut oil!

Shea butter and coconut oil are the perfect match when it comes to creating a fusion base for a lip balm. Shea butter is a natural moisturizer and it is great for soothing the skin, after the coconut oil regenerates and heals the skin, the shea butter maintains your lips silkiness and nourishes them. Also, just like coconut oil, shea butter can protect against aggressions like wind, cold, and sun making them a great team when it comes to lip care.

The EE 411:

Please welcome Lemongrass Mint, Honey Vanilla, Coconut Chai and Naturally Nude USDA Organic lip balms. These lip balms have the coconut oil and shea butter fusion base. However, there are some other awesome ingredients in these lip balms that are dedicated to healthy lip care.

In Lemongrass Mint, we added lemongrass and peppermint. Peppermint helps nourish your skin, while lemongrass helps ward off skin infections or fungus, which is great protection to have for your lips. Just think, how many times do your fingers, writing utensils, or other foreign things touch your lips?

Honey Vanilla is made with vanilla and honey. Not only does it produce a great aroma, but these ingredients are also great for your skin. Vanilla can help reduce stress and prevents the damaging of skin cells. It also helps improve skin tones. It can boost your lips’ natural color. Then honey swoops in with the protection. It helps protect your skin from harmful sun rays and also helps hydrate your lips.

Coconut Chai has a sizzling cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon helps bring various nutrients to the surfaces of your skin. Not to mention, it has an invigorating fragrance.

Last but certainly not least, Natural Nude takes you back to the basics while giving you everything you need. This unscented and unflavored organic lip balm is great for sensitive lips. It will leave your lips soft, supple and moisturized.

Organic Skin Care on the Rise?

Dear Earth’s Enrichers

Over the years products, like skin care, have been made with the idea of efficiency and effectiveness. It had to work properly, which meant actually cleaning or moisturizing the hair or the skin, for example. To do this, some companies used chemically made substances that fulfilled the product’s primary purposes.

These products were also made to have a powerful, yet delightful smell of the customer’s choosing. Usually these scents were made from affordable and easily acquired materials like artificial scents which can be chemically based as well. The sort of ingredients that these companies turned to can have latent and sometimes extreme effects on the skin. Also, the customers could be allergic to these chemicals without knowing it.

To test the safety of these products for human beings, some companies turned to animal testing. That meant if the product was not safe for humans, then, well, you know what would happen. Over the years, research and discovery have linked certain skin care problems/health risks to certain chemicals in skin care like parabens, sulfates, etc.

Individuals also began to become concerned about their skin health. Noticing that some products they used seemed to only further worsen some conditions like eczema or create extremely dry skin. Thus, a need for products that contained better solutions for getting the job done became apparent.

Organic and all-natural skin care became a better solution for cleanliness and other needs, offering products that not only aid your skin with some irritants, but also keep and maintain its healthiness. For instance, oatmeal can help relieve the irritation of eczema.

So if you’re wondering why organic skin care is important and how it became so popular, think about the secure feeling you have washing your child in all-natural, organic, and safe ingredients that support your child’s skin and help keep it healthy. Or imagine the peace of mind you may have knowing that you don’t have to worry about the possible adverse effects of sulfates when you’re bathing with rosemary mint or chai tea. It’s a wonderful feeling, isn’t it?

The EE 411:

There are a whole lot of options now-a-days to find products that are all-natural or organic. There are blogs, websites, and whole companies dedicated to putting your needs first, like here at EE. There are also options and information out there that can give you alternatives in relaxation, hair care and skin care.

The best alternatives to helping maintain your health are eating well and exercising. Eating well pertains to taking in foods that will benefit your skin, hair, and internal health. Exercising helps regulate your body and keeps your body active. This maintains weight and emotional/mental health as well.

Take care of your body inside and out. Listen to your body and discover its likes and dislikes. Doing this could help you maintain/achieve great health. Of course, regularity is important too—no matter how much you may hate it.

Natural Lip Care

Hey Earth’s Enrichers!

Lip care?! I know what you are thinking, what about lip care? What is there to know other than moisturize by using chap stick? Well, what you may not know is how important it is to moisturize your lips properly. Just like the other fleshy parts of your body, your lips can be sensitive and may need special treatment.

Have you ever heard of lip allergies? It can happen when the skin on your lips reacts negatively to certain lip products. The symptoms may include burning, itching, or even chapping. These symptoms can also occur if your lips are not moisturized properly. But most importantly, allergic reactions to lip products can be triggered by some ingredients in the products themselves, such as propyl gallate. This ingredient is found in a number of lipsticks. Also, look out for phenyl salicylate which can cause lip irritation as well.

Most folks forget that their lips are also exposed to the harshness of the elements. Cold weather, wind, and even the sun can affect your lips. So, wear lip products that can comfort your skin but also protect it from the elements. They make chap sticks, and lip balms for a variety of occasions. For instance, if it is freezing and the wind’s blowing fiercely, unless you like minty cool feeling, try to avoid it. Use something more soothing and warming like coconut or aloe vera based lip products. Also, it is important to use chap sticks and lip balms with sunblock in them. It helps protect your lips against the sun’s rays.

When selecting and buying lip products that suit your needs, make sure you read the directions along with the ingredients. Believe it or not, some chap sticks are strictly made for medical usage and should only be used in certain dosages. If used incorrectly, you could potentially damage you lips.

The EE 411:

Your lips aren’t just there to complement your smile. Their primary purpose is to help you fulfill your nourishment requirements meaning they’re there to help you eat. They come in contact with everything you eat and drink!

When drinking or eating foods or beverages that are high in acid (citrus, etc.) it could potentially dry out your lips and irritate them. Also, if you’re eating greasy or oily foods, be sure to wipe your lips and around your mouth so that they don’t break out or become irritated.

Do not use wipes (like the ones they give you in restaurants for your hands) to wipe your mouth. They were not designed for facial usage. If you have baby wipes (for facial usage) or any wipe that is designed for facial skin, use those.

One of the other most frequent things that come in contact with your lips is toothpaste. For some of us it touches our lips about two or three times a day. Toothpaste can contain chemicals called guaiazulene, and sodium lauryl sulfate which can cause chapped lips and skin irritations. So always read the toothpaste labels so that you know what is coming in contact with your lips.

Try to avoid alcohol, parabens, fragrances, menthol, camphor and phenol cool. These can produce lip irritations as well.

Last but certainly not least, don’t lick your lips too often. No matter how attractive you think it is, it can irritate you lips as well. Keep your hands and any foreign objects (metal objects) away from your mouth.
