Natural lip balm It is a gentle blend of natural ingredients applied to the lips to soothe irritation caused by dry or chapped lips.
The skin on the lips is extremely delicate and thin, which makes it prone to drying, unlike other parts of the skin on our body.
The wax-like blend acts as a protective layer on the lips, preventing the skin from drying out due to dry air, wind, and cold weather.
Both men and women often choose lip balm to heal chapped lips, especially during the autumn and winter months. As we mentioned earlier, a quality lip balm will soothe skin irritation while giving the lips a soft look and natural shine. In contrast, a low-quality and artificial lip balm will not relieve these symptoms and will make the lips appear greasy.
For this reason, choosing the right lip balm is very important during the autumn and winter months.
When you leave the house, check whether you have with you: your house keys, your wallet, and your favorite lip balm.
Research has shown that more than 40% of the adult population uses lip balm in some form on a daily basis.

Benefits of natural lip balm
Natural lip balm is one of the essential items for skin care, regardless of age, skin type, or gender.
Everyone loves a gentle and tasty lip balm designed to care for the most delicate part of the skin on our body.
Although we are often tempted to grab the most colorful or sparkly packaging or tube of lip balm in the supermarket, realistically, this is often not the healthiest choice we can make for ourselves.
By switching to a natural lip balm, you improve the health of your lips and also reduce the negative impact on the environment.
Here are several concrete reasons why you should consider switching to a natural lip balm:
Free from unwanted chemicals
If you use lip balm or a lip care stick every day, over your lifetime you will swallow about 4 kg of the product without even realizing it.
Does this make you think about what is in the lip balm or lip care stick you are currently using?
By choosing natural lip balms that contain only natural ingredients and do not come in plastic packaging, you drastically reduce the potentially harmful substances you introduce into your body.
Interestingly, we already pay a lot of attention to what we eat or drink for the same reason, yet we don’t think about lip balms in the same way.
Perhaps it’s time for that to change.
When it comes to natural lip balms, we recommend that you use those that contain only natural ingredients and do not contain any chemicals.
Support for organic and sustainable production
By purchasing and using organic, sustainable, and natural products, you directly support small, local, or family-run businesses.
You can also be sure that if products from small businesses are labeled as natural or vegan, they truly are, because small businesses do not have the resources to find loopholes in the law, as large industries and corporations can.
And most importantly, small businesses cannot afford false marketing, because customer trust is the foundation of their continued operation.
Fair.
Zero waste
When you buy natural lip balm It comes in eco-friendly packaging, which contains no plastic and is easily recyclable.
In this way, you help ensure that as little waste and harmful substances as possible end up in the environment.
Health comes from within
When you use a natural lip balm that contains medicinal herbs and various other natural ingredients, not only do your lips look and smell better, but their condition also improves significantly.
The reason for this is the ingredients in this natural balm, which are natural plant butters and oils that have strong healing effects on our skin.
Natural lip balm helps with dry and chapped lips and also acts preventively against external factors such as wind and low temperatures.
Natural herbal balm has significant benefits because it provides enough nutrients to the delicate skin of the lips while creating a protective film on the outside. It does not contain synthetic ingredients or chemicals, which could reduce the effectiveness of these healing components or even cause unwanted effects.
Beauty without chemicals
Traditional lip balms and lipsticks usually contain synthetic ingredients such as petroleum-based compounds or artificial colors and fragrances.
Organic and natural lip balms They explicitly use only natural ingredients, including natural colorants and essential oils for fragrance.
This composition of lip balm provides enough nutrients and hydration to keep your lips natural and soft.
The ingredients that are usually found in natural herbal lip balms include: beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamins C and E, and similar components.
Not tested on animals
Additionally, many producers of natural balms are consistent in not testing their products on animals, which is very important if you follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle.
In our case, besides love for animals, there is another reason why we do not test our products on animals.
We use only natural ingredients in all our products, so there is no need or concern for anyone else to test our products, except for ourselves and the people we love. We trust so much that what we do is absolutely right, that there is no need for anyone else to test our products.
Beauty that doesn’t harm the environment
Inorganic and industrial lip balms often contain chemicals that can end up in the environment. Many industrial balms contain petroleum or similar petroleum derivatives, which pollute the environment once they enter nature.
“A kako to moje labelo zagađuje okolinu?”
“Drago nam je da ste pitali!”.
For example, after you throw a used lip balm into the trash, it ends up somewhere in the environment or in some kind of waste.
Rain gradually washes away the remnants of lip balm left in the packaging, and over time, the petroleum and all harmful chemicals end up in groundwater and rivers. And so the cycle continues.
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
Natural lip balm does not contain chemicals, but only natural ingredients that are biodegradable, thus drastically reducing the negative impact on the environment.
Beauty and health!
Many natural lip balms contain ingredients that provide deep and strong hydration. Many of them also contain various vitamins and antioxidants.
This means that not only does natural lip balm make your lips softer and smoother, but it also improves your overall health.
Beeswax, which is a common ingredient in natural lip balms, offers a wealth of benefits. Not only does it provide a pleasant feeling on the lips, but it also helps heal small cuts and irritations on the lips caused by irregular care. Beeswax forms a thin protective film on the lips that shields them from external influences, and it also gives the balm antibacterial properties.
Beeswax has anti-inflammatory properties and acts as an antioxidant.
Maroon Natural lip balm, in addition to pure white beeswax, contains other natural ingredients that further enhance its effects and make caring for your lips easier.
“Ali pčelinji vosak nije pogodan za vegane?!”
If it is important to you that a product is both natural and vegan-friendly, the alternative to beeswax is natural plant-based soy wax. So we have thought of that as well.
