It can also be used on elbows, knees, small abrasions, small burns and dry patches with great results. I like to massage this product on the area around my lips to prevent those pesky little wrinkles around your mouth. Many of my testing subjects have experienced stronger and longer nails after a couple of weeks of using this balm on their cuticles.
They say the average woman consumes about 7 pounds of lip products over a lifetime... No problem! Our butters and oils are edible, being commonly used for cooking and baking in many parts of the world, so you will be eating NOTHING bad for your body.
The Amazon butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and local people. They are used for healing, moisturizing and protection against the elements.
Shea butter has been used in Africa for thousands of years for cooking, skin and hair care.
I added tropical flavor oils to this product that account for the 0.01% that is not Active, Organic and/or Wild Harvested. It is still the highest quality I could find. I did not add any sweetener since it encourages us to lick the product off therefore drying our lips.
When we consume Amazon's self-sustainable products we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors for the deforestation of such important ecosystem.
ATTENTION: our flavor oils aren't sweetened, sweet lip products just make us lick our lips getting them even dryer.
The scent of the flavor oils is present not overwhelming. The texture of the product is very firm, since it is designed to be taken everywhere. It forms a thin layer that stays on your lips (or any other place you apply) for a long time.
Candelilla Wax has a less "draggy" feel than beeswax, it is somewhat a little gritty and slick.
Our Non-Vegan recipe uses beeswax.
Our vegan recipe uses candelilla wax that comes from a shrub native to North Mexico, it has extraordinary filmforming & protecting properties, effective emollient and adds nice gloss to lips products.
We all know the benefits of Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter on skin and hair care, now it is time to get to know the other ingredients:
Muru Muru Butter - (Astrocaryum murumurú,Arecaceae)
This Butter is rich in lauric, myristic, oleic acid and Pro-Vitamin A. It is a powerful skin barrier repair agent and an excellent natural moisturizer. It works beneath skin’s surface repairing loss of elasticity by improving collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and protecting the skin against environmental factors that causes prematurely aging.
Cupuaçu Butter - Theobroma Grandiflorum, Malvaceae
Cupuaçu Butter contains phytosterols which exert anti-inflammatory action in skin by acting as free radical scavengers, essential fatty acids omegas 3 and 6, the antioxidant vitamins C and A and high amount of phosphorus.
It has very high water absorption capacity (over 200% greater than lanolin). Due to its capacity for water absorption and the ability to obstruct the evaporation of moisture from the skin, Cupuaçu butter restores the skin's natural humidity and elasticity.
Contains phytosterols (particularly beta-sitosterol) which help regulate water balance and lipid layer of the skin.
Great for treating dermatitis skin disorders and stimulating healing processes.
