After decades of using beauty products, I think that I do know quite a bit about beauty products but I’ve still got a long way to go before I gain more knowledge about the importance of going organic. I do like to check out organic skincare and cosmetics because as I age, I’d like to start eliminating harmful ingredients in those products whenever possible.

Mentholatum’s natural and organic lipbalm is a safe option for those who are concerned about ingesting chemicals and other harmful substances. This lipbalm is made from 100% natural ingredients with 97% of the ingredients from organic sources. Ingredients used in its formulation are free from synthetic chemical inputs such as pesticides, preservatives and chemical fertilizers.

That it instantly softens and moisturises lips is a given thanks to the blends of imported organic ingredients from renowned organic farms. It contains olive oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, beeswax and Vitamin E. These ingredients have the following functions:-

• deep moisturisation and nourishing of lips.
• prevent premature aging and maintain youthful looking lips.
• enhance the appearance of skin.
• promote cell regeneration, rejuvenate skin and act as a natural sun shield.
• help in the healing of sores and wounds.
• reduce the chances of developing chapped lips.

Why the need to use organic lipbalm? According to Mentholatum, it helps improve the condition of skin by eliminating skin reactions such as allergies, constant dryness, chapped and cracked lips. I’ve only been using this lipbalm for a couple of weeks and so far, so good. It’s my new favourite lipbalm as the scent is mild and non-artificial. I never fail to apply it before I go to sleep. It keeps my lips moisturised for hours.

It’s available only in a unique mix of ‘Raspberry & Strawberry’ flavour from 1st January 2012 at RM19.90 (3.5g).
