Lip balms reviewed!

Home » Blog » Rebekah White » Lip balms reviewed!

 

In the latest issue of Good, we revealed which lip balm ingredients were helpful, which were harmful and which won't do anything at all for your lips. But how did the natural lip balms we featured stack up? We tested them out...

 

 


Suvana Organic Paw Paw & Honey Balm

It feels nice and creamy on my lips and stays on for a while. Seems to work really well to prevent my lips chapping in winter. I like it. –Sally

 

 

Tui Cardamon and Orange Lip Balme
Spreads easily – no need to apply heaps and heaps. Nice light scent and slight spicy flavour – not overpowering but quite pleasant. The beeswax formula feels like it’s forming a protective seal, as opposed to Lucas’s Paw Paw balm which is what I usually use – that seems to come off really easily and doesn’t seal the skin. –Elise

 

 

Antipodes Organic Lip Balme
Incredibly soothing and restorative, this buttery lipbalm has been the perfect cure for my winter-chapped lips. Made from all natural oils (cocoa butter, shea, jojoba to name a few) it feels smooth and divine on the lips and has no added fragrance. Just a perfectly natural, soothing remedy. –Aimee

 

 

Trilogy Intensive Lip Treatment
This has a strong natural fragrance but a thick formula that's not sticky (a big plus). It's absorbed quickly into my lips, rather than sitting on the surface. I tend to get extremely dry, chapped lips, and this is the most effective balm I've used so far. –Rebekah

 

 

Dr Hauschka Med Labimint Acute Lip Care
It’s a light cream balm that comes in a small tube. It smells minty, and it feels a little tingly on your lips when you apply it. It definitely absorbs and moisturises your lips but don’t know if it actually protects them as well – it absorbs rather than coating your lips so it seems to wear out quite quickly in the air-conditioned office. –Frances
