I suppose y'all have noticed by now but Syen and I are just a touch Lip Balm mad. We also both seem mighty curious about organic range, Yes To Carrots. It's cheap & cheerful tree-hugger philosophy just strikes a chord and you want to like what they put out. So I was pretty keen to try this mint balm (I have a thing for mint balms too) I picked up in Singapore.Formula
Organic and critter-friendly (yep lookin' at you Pet) the site promises that the balm's key ingredients of coconut and olive oils and vitamin E are:
All grown using environmentally sound practices without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides that could be harmful to our bodies or Mother Earth.
* All Natural Ingredients
* No Animal Testing
* Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate Free
Use & Flavour
Sadly, I find the balm notas moisturising as I'd like. It's rather hard (there's no glossy finish so it's guy-friendly balm btw) and I have to apply and reapply frequently. I haven't noticed my lips looking better or softer either, but they haven't dried out. Fortunately, I LOVE the minty flavour!
It's not sweet in the least and greatly resembles the scent and flavour of Garden Mint balm by Crabtree & Evelyn. Only less intense and easier to apply as it's in a tube form. I keep it by my keyboard at work and find it a refreshing break when writer's block hits.
Conclusion
I love the flavour enough that I might be tempted to repurchase if I come across it again. At about SGD$5 it's nicely affordable for a fun treat - just wish it was available in Malaysia.
