The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm Strawberry 10ml

Product Information

It is also more glossy than other oils, in fact, it creates the highest gloss of all natural oils when applied to the skin. Unlike other fatty acids, ricinoleic acid has an extra water-loving part (aka -OH group) on its fatty chain that gives Castor Oil several unique properties. A super common fragrance ingredient that can be found among others in lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot or jasmine. Unlike a lot of fruity lip balms I like the tint in the fact that it’s not a white lip balm that will leave white cast on my lips. I think it product is targeted to the younger audience because the range has these funky names like Satsuma Shimmer, Raspberry, Strawberry and Pink Guava.

The latter one, the humectant property, is surprising and comes from the unique property of ricinoleic acid (the dominant fatty acid in castor oil) having an extra water-loving -OH group on its otherwise oil-loving fatty chain. This smell reminds me more of a satsuma peel rather than the orange itself (not a bad thing) and is very shimmery - so probably not one (as a guy) that I would wear out. Similar to other plant oils, it's loaded with nourishing and moisturizing fatty acids: it's a high linoleic acid oil (70%) and has only smaller amounts of oleic acid (11%) ( this might be great for acne-prone skin).According to skin care expert Paula Begoun, it’s antibacterial as well but due to its tannin content it can cause also irritation to the very sensitive skinned.

It has polyphenols including anthocyanins and ellagitannins that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Simply rub the butter between your fingers to warm it, and the crystals will instantly melt so you can apply as normal. Don’t worry if you see crystals forming on your lip butter it’s a totally normal, natural result of the waxes and oils in the product.

Dip into our strawberry scented lip balm, for hydrated lips that feel nourished with our Born Lippy™ Pot Lip Balm Strawberry. One of my favorite things about this lip balm is the adorable little plastic tub it comes in, it is so nice and the little label with the lips on it is so cute. They are pretty moisturizing, I’ve heard so many people saying that these aren’t moisturizing but for me they are. Perfect lips

I was really upset when I first applied this and my lips (which are naturally dry and VERY prone to chapping) didn’t show any signs of moisturisation at all.

There are too many flaws in this product and I shall be pointing them out to you in points as the nerd in me says so. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

You can simply apply it by using your fingers, which I know sounds a bit unhygienic, but unless it’s only you using it and your fingers are all clean, then it’s fine. As an example, it mentions that Ci 19140 may cause itching and hives in some people but the colorant is always labeled so that you can avoid it if you are sensitive. Compared to the pure form it's more stable, has longer shelf life, but it's also more poorly absorbed by the skin. It’s part of 200 natural oils including lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot, jasmine, geranium and it can be found in 90-95% of prestige perfumes on the market.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Although these look quite bold in the pot, the tint is very minimal on these but I don’t think that the tint is the main selling point.
