Truly sustainable w/ vegan formula; the clove is an interesting flavor/ scent
J&L Naturals Sustainable Lip Balm is a truly sustainable product; from the stickers to the packaging, every piece is recyclable or biodegradable. The lip balms arrive in a cardboard box sealed with a low-adhesive sticker. Opening the package presents you with another sticker on the lid letting you know that your purchase planted a tree through #TEAMTREES; a QR code and web address provide you with a link to more info. The box is filled with Kraft paper crinkles to protect the lip balms in transit. The Lemongrass and Clove scent/ flavor was a pleasant surprise and a change from the usual flavors/ scents.<br />The tubes of lip balm are where sustainability genuinely shines; the cardboard tubes push up rather than twist, and the balm itself is wider for better coverage. This formula is created from six safe, simple vegan ingredients: Organic Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Candelilla Wax, Lemongrass Essential Oil, and Clove Essential Oil. There are six scents available, and one of them is unscented if you have sensitivity.<br />The Bottom Line: At $27.49, each J&L Naturals sustainable tube is ~$5.50 each and holds more than twice as much as a standard plastic tube, which is excellent news for your bottom line. The vegan plant-based ingredients and plastic-free packaging are a boon for the planet. J&L Naturals Sustainable Lip Balm is a win-win product all around and would make a great stocking stuffer.
