And when it comes to anything you use around your mouth, it’s pretty clear why you’d choose organic lip products.
That’s because anything you put on your lips has a high chance of being unintentionally licked off!
But before we get into the products, let’s take a moment to understand what exactly ‘organic’ means.
What Are Organic Beauty Products?
‘Organic’ is a term used to describe products made with ingredients grown without the use of chemicals such as synthetic fertilisers or pesticides.
But buying organic beauty isn’t always easy.
In Australia, it can be legal for products to be described as ‘organic’ when they’re *not really* organic in the truest sense of the word.
This can happen if a part of the brand name is ‘organic’ or if a high percentage of organic ingredients are used, according to LegalVision’s guide. Talk about muddying the waters!
With that in mind, we recommend that when you’re shopping for organic beauty, look for ‘certified organic’ labels.
This means the product has been through rigorous checks and was certified by an Australian organic certification organisation likeAustralian Certified Organic.
This delicious organic lip balm is SO good, we’re seriously wondering whether Harry Styles was singing about it in his hit ‘Watermelon Sugar’.
Grown Alchemist’s balm contains watermelon extract and smells even more delicious than you’d imagine.
Additional ingredients include moisturising shea butter, toning bergamot extract, and B vitamins to protect against environmental damage.
Although this product is a balm, it’s so rich that it works more like a lip treatment!
Why it’s so good:
Besides being certified organic, Grown Alchemist Lip Balm: Vanilla, Watermelon is paraben-free, mineral oil-free, and PEFC-certified sustainable.
It’s also made in Australia and bears thePositive Luxury Butterfly Mark, meaning Grown Alchemist has been formally recognised as being committed to making a positive impact on nature and society.
