Brown Sugar Baby Lip Balm

“Shall we dance? Yes, it’s a slow jam” – Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.  The story behind this flavor comes from another hugely popular lip balm of ours. That being, Iced Mini Doughnut variety.  Back in the early(ier) days when playing around with formulations. In this case, working on a unique flavor inspired by the midway food at Calgary Stampede (you guessed it – mini doughnuts.) We of course, ran out of cinnamon essential oil.  Seeing, brown sugar was already added in the batch, the intended “Iced Mini Doughnut” lip balms became “Brown Sugar Baby”.  Turns out, these are just as popular!

For flavoring, feel free to take this “Brown Sugar Baby Lip Balm” literally. No really- it has real, fair trade, brown sugar in it!

Lowen’s Lip Balm Lore

The story behind Lowen’s Lip Balms can be found in a failed experiment.  In the early days, when trying to create a natural, effective and locally sourced diaper balm for our daughter Lowen. I accidentally came up with this lip balm formula.

You see, after a boat load of failed formulations. Finally, I had created an amazing diaper balm!

Not so…when my wife applied it to her hand and placed it under the tap. Clearly, it didn’t do a great job repelling the water.  It actually “took on” water, which isn’t desirable when you are trying to protect baby’s bottom from diaper nastiness.

Later that same night after finishing up a late feeding with Lowen, my wife’s lips were really bothering her. Being half-asleep and not wanting to search in the dark for “lip chap”. She repurposed my failed formula. That happened to be sitting by the change table, as a lip balm.

In the morning, I learned by accident, I had created “the most amazing lip balms she’d tried!”  Once I finally perfected our Butter Balm, I revisited this formula and actually flavoured it with some peppermint oil to make “Candy Cane” lip balms for our holiday open house.  They turned out to be very popular and from that point on our expanding line of naturally flavoured lip balms was born!

• Net wt. 10 gram paperboard or 4.5 gram plastic tube
  
• As always: Cruelty Free (we only test on willing humans)
• Our lip balm’s performance will vary in extreme heat. If storage temperatures exceed 40°C or 104°F your lip balm will soften and sweat out the oil components. Higher temperatures will cause the contents to liquefy. For the best results, please leave your lip balm in a cool place!
