    I'm allergic to mint and to SPF so finding a lip balm without either one is one of the hardest things.

    I LOVE the Hempsters lip balm - no SPF, no mint. Badger is the same way.

    I'm with whomever said they panic when they run out coz I can't just "run into the store" and buy more....but ironically - since I've quit using the lip balm with SPF, I don't have a problem with chapped lips anymore. Hmmmmmm
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Just looked at my Dr.Bronners Sun Dog. It has ginger and orange oils, but no mint or spf. It's the one I mentioned was like Merry Hempsters.

    CorsairMac - how do your lips and skin handle zinc oxide and titanium dioxide?

    For me the icky lip problems came from using petroleum base lip balms. Isn't it funny how sensitive our lips can be?

    mmmm lip balm

    I can't live wthout Kiss My Face lip balm. I have the Cranberry Orange, but they have lots of flavors.

    It's organic, has spf 15 and it's not waxy or gritty or tingly or anything, just smooth.

    In fact, I love all their products. I have the Early to Bed bath bubbles, the Peach hand soap, the lavender shaving soap...

    Kate- who loves her essential oils

    I use their Peach one all the time- it's gentle & does not have some of the essential oils that cause my awful allergic reaction to Burt's lip balm.

    Out of curiosity, which essentials are you allergic to?
