Bee All Natural Organic Lip Balm By Bee All Natural.

About the brand:

Bee All Natural is a one woman show ran by Rachel Nonis. Based out of Shelby Township, Michigan, Rachel started her company because she was tired of buying products that claimed to be “natural” but “still have garbage” in them. No she makes all the products from scratch, packages it, designs and prints the label . In her own words “I want to create products that I can be proud of. Proud of selling, using and standing behind 100%”.

Certifications:

USDA certified organic, food grade quality.

Flavour:

Rachel sent me three flavours to try:

Peppermint, Natural and Grapefruit
I absolutely make these flavours. They make me hungry. Probably best tasting balms I’ve had in ages. Good thing they are organic in case I eat too much! I can’t even pick a favourite, but pushed against the wall I’d probably spill “grapefruit”.

Scent:

To die for. This scent reminds you what food is supposed to smell like… I keep forgetting that these balms aren’t for eating! Thank god they are food-grade…

Packaging:

Really pretty little tubes. These balms look playful and simple. Fits in my little wallet, which is perfect.

Ingredients:

Nothing to complain about. All ingredients are natural and almost all are organic. These products are food-grade quality. Personally I love the coconut oil — i think its responsible for the awesome taste/scent.

Also, I love that all the products are created from scratch, never a prebought base. (Did you know that a lot of manufacturers just buy a standard base, add a couple of useless ingredients and branding, and sell the “new miracle product”? This industry really needs a shake up. Luckily you don’t have to worry about that with these balms!)

Performance:

I’m so destructed by taste and smell that I wasn’t even paying attention to performance at first. But the performance is perfect. It does what a lip balm is supposed to do.

Price:

$3.50 per tube. The products can be purchased from the website as well as various stores.

Verdict:

Absolutely awesome. Highly recommended. Probably my new favourite lip balm!

PS: There is also a facebook page where you can find information about contests and giveaways. I urge you to try it.

I will eventually get back to posting real posts.  As soon as I figure out all these technological innovations…

Think about it. It’s a porous absorbent surface. So shouldn’t it matter what it absorbes?

An average woman starts her daily skincare routine by washing her face with some sort of soap, putting a cream, and then layers of concealers, foundations, powders, shadows, liners, lipsticks. At the end of the day all of it is washed off with soaps, and covered with toners, lotions, masks… You know the picture.

The government does not actually regulate the makeup industry. The manufacturers of all these products can put anything and everything they want inside.

And they do.

So, when you think you’re covering up some spots, or making your eyes larger, you are actually feeding your body things like: Methyl, propyl, butyl, ethyl paraben, petroleum, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colours…

All these things irritate the skin (not to mention other long term side-effects), making women search for new lotions, new creams, new concealers.

Organic skincare products and organic makeup, or at least natural products, are the only way to escape this never-ending cycle of self poisoning.

So, for starters, next time you buy some kind of make-up, imagine you where to eat it. Just a bit of it. Then read the ingredients. I am pretty sure your next step would be to turn towards the local health store (or shelf) and search for organic makeup.

Unless, of course, you like the taste of petroleum…
