We are now testing a series of liquid lip balms. This bulletin is posted for those doing blind testing who did not receive a printout of what may be in any of the numbered samples you received.
Any of them may contain: Lanolin oil, Macadamia Nut oil, Mineral oil, Squalane (derived from olive oil), Arnica oil, or Mixed Tocopherols T50 (natural vitamin e). All of them are blends.
A friend commented recently that he loved the Balm No.3, but that he had to apply it relatively often. I said I would get him a little baby dropper bottle of what I used on my own lips, and that is how this began.
I myself use the Balm No.3 mainly on my hands. The single largest ingredient in No.3 is Shea Butter, followed by Macadamia Nut oil, Beeswax, and Jojoba, with T50 (vitamin e). It absorbs well, at least on my skin, and is non-greasy. It is because it absorbs well that regular application becomes necessary.
Every test pack also included a small dropper of Organic Unrefined Hempseed oil. It will not have a long shelf-life and should be used up within 6-8 weeks. Apply to cuts, scrapes, or dry skin and see if it lives up to its hype or not. It has a beautiful dark green smell and color.
