Sep 8 Lip Balm

Why it's Effective

Balmy Days soothes upon application and continues to work while it’s on. Put this on as a nightly treatment and wake up with hydrated lips.

More reasons to love Balmy Days:

Lip products are absorbed through the skin and essentially consumed, so safety here is key.

Balmy Days is free of the following toxins commonly found in lip balms:

Petrolatum - also known as mineral oil, petroleum jelly or paraffin oil. Petrolatum is derived from petroleum and when not properly refined, can be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are carcinogenic.
Parabens - artificial preservatives associated with endocrine disruption, cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity.
PEGs (polyethylene glycols)- penetration enhancers that may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide which are associated with reproductive, developmental, and endocrine effects, cancer, and DNA damage.
Fragrance - mix of fragrance and chemicals associated with allergies, dermatitis, respiratory distress and potential effects on the reproductive system. Can contain unnamed toxic ingredients like phthalates which disrupt the endocrine system.
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) – preservative with concerns of skin, eye, and lung irritation, and organ system toxicity. Limited evidence of carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption.

Many lip balms contain flavor which are unknown substances used by manufacturers to produce or mask flavor. Balmy Days has no added flavor.
