Dave’s Not Here Man! – Unflavored Hemp Seed Oil Lip Balm

So, I like Cheech and Chong.  My brothers are quite a bit older than me so I was exposed to their comedy quite a bit in my formative years through bootlegged VHS copies and free super-channel previews.  So the name is inspired by these comedic geniuses.  The key ingredient, emerald city green, cold pressed and unrefined hemp seed oil is all full of unsaturated fatty acid goodness that will treat your lips with respect!  The hemp oil we use is 100% Canadian and actually sourced from right here in Calgary from our friends at True North Cannabis.

Lowen’s Lip Balm Lore

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

You see, after a boat load of experimentation and failed formulations, I finally thought I had created an amazing diaper balm!

Not so…when my wife applied it to her hand and placed it under the tap, 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 dirty diaper nastiness.

Anyhow, I felt pretty defeated and my better half recognized this.  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 decided to repurpose my failed formula, that happened to be sitting by the change table, as a lip balm.

In the morning, I learned that, by accident, I had created “the most amazing lip balms she’s 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!

One last feather in our cap- all of Lowen’s incredible Lip Balms are EWG Verified™, meaning that our lip balms are “adequately preserved and free of contaminants, and that manufacturing processes meet EWG’s rigorous criteria.”
