There's much hoo-ha about organic vs vegan vs chemically stuffed. But considering we actually unintentionally eat our lip balm, it might be one place where you really should avoid chemicals you can't pronounce. Two brands of lip balms where the ingredient list is less than a line long and easy to understand are A'kin and Emma Cool. A'kin's Sweet Blossom and Jojoba balm (£4.99) is vegan and includes macadamia oil with Vitamin E, rosemary extract, shea butter and rosehip oil . Emma Cool's Organic Vanilla and Almond balm (£3.99) includes organic coconut oil, vanilla extract and shea butter.
