ApiVita‘s Lip Balms contain honey, beeswax, walnut oil, rose, geranium, chamomile, blackcurrant, cocoa butter…unlike Vaseline which rhymes with gasoline (it originated from rod wax on oil rigs – petrol-eum jelly, the clue’s in the name). I did use Vaseline one summer about seven years ago, but stopped using it.
I had those cute little Vaseline tins everywhere.. my bag, the car, at home…but the more I put on, the drier my lips got (vicious circle). Eventually it dawned on me, it wasn’t my lips,Vaseline just didn’t agree with them. Also after Googling the origins of Vaseline I don’t particularly want to put anything on my mouth invented by a man visiting oil wells – it put me off – big time!
My favourite lip balm of the moment is Pai Skincare’s Orange & Bergamot but I love ApiVita’s balm for summer as it provides a bit of colour. The blackcurrant, pomegranate and rose are tinted and taste good, so you get light colour + natural hydration.
