product review: Badger Lip Balm

This Winter has by far been the worst for my skin.  I've always had fairly dry skin but this season has been out of control.  I have tried seriously a ton of products from high end brands to all organic brands.

I hope to review many of the products I've tried to show what works for me and my dry, sensitive skin.

I have a small addiction to looking up the ratings on cosmeticsdatabase.com to see where my products stand in terms of the chemical ingredients and their risks.

This site brings me to many organic products including:

Badger - Lavender & Orange Lip Balm
$5.00 from Noah's Health Food Store

I have tried almost every single over the counter lip product you can think of, from Blistex to Poly Sporn, from Aveeno to Chapstick and every thing in between.  All of them seem to just mask the problem, seriouisly irritate my lips and make them worse, or get so dependent on it that it really doesn't help.

I got this lip balm from the Noah's near Yonge and Broadway for about $5.  This brand is certified organic, and this particular flavour has the following ingrediants:

*Aloe Vera Extract, Essential Oils of *Sweet Orange, *Lavender, & *Sicilian (Blood) Orange, and CO2 Extracts of Rosehip & *Seabuckthorn Berry.


I really love lavender and that's why I choose this smell, I can barely notice the orange to be honest but overall really like this lip balm. It's soothing and non irritating and so far has been the best i've come across.
