The lovely people at Organic Island Australia have sent me one of their beautiful & unique shell lip balms to review!
My experience with the product so far
So far, I am really impressed. I have applied the balm at least 10 times since receiving it, not because I needed re-application, but because it’s such a gentle product and it’s making my lips feel so good! The balm itself is very light, non-greasy & has a very faint honey smell. (which I am guessing comes from the beeswax)
What is great about this product…
The balm is housed in a real shell. “Our shells are 100% REAL and not man-made. We source recycled shells and damaged shells which have been washed up and collected for re-use.” So not only are they gorgeous to look at, but they are eco-friendly. The shell compact also comes with a handy mirror inside – perfect for touch ups.
The balm itself is made from naturally derived ingredients such as coconut oil, rosehip oil, mango seed butter, beeswax, macadamia oil, jojoba oil and lanolin wax. Which means that it is a 100% natural product offering you the benefits of hydration, protection against UV rays, lightened pigmentation, and most importantly a natural lubrication for dry lips.
The brand is dedicated to carbon reducing & recycling. This is something that I am personally passionate about, so to find a brand that supports the same ideas as me is always exciting. To read more, click here.
What is not so great about this product…
To be honest, not much. The only problem I’ve had has been the fact that my daughter has become obsessed with the “pretty shell” and won’t give it back to me! Also, it could prove a problem if you happen to take it with you to the beach, and leave it behind on the sand… But that isn’t too likely to happen!
These gorgeous balms are available for purchase online (international shipping is available) from the Organic Island website.
