vegan and gf lip balm?

[Guest guest]

I'm curious whether any of you have a brand of lip balm that you like that is

both vegan (so

no beeswax, lanolin, etc.) and gf. I had been using Alba's lip balm, but it's

got wheat germ

oil, so I'm thinking I need to find another. As a last resort, I could try

making my own

(anyone have any ideas how to do this?), but it sure would be convenient if I

could find a

commercial one. I don't want to use petroleum jelly, so I'm looking for a

multi-ingredient lip

balm, preferably one with the most natural ingredients possible. Thanks!

Check this out for healthy choices of lip balm and other toiletries.

It is a great resource.

 

This is part of the Environmental Working group called Skin Deep. I

have utilized their great info personally for the last year or two.

I use a simple to make homemade lip balm made from mixing a little

beet root powder (health food store) into virgin coconut oil. I love

the rosy color, but you can also make it color free. I just melt the

VCO, add the beet powder, pour it into a well sanitized commercial lip

balm tube or pot, and refrigerate it. I take it out of the fridge

about an hour before I need it-if in a pot, it will hold well at room

temp.
