Just the Flax Ma’am! Lip Balm

So the story behind Just the Flax Ma’am! Lip Balm…? Does anybody remember Dragnet? No? Yeah, me either…

Honestly, we made “Just the Flax Ma’am! Lip Balm” more for the name. Considering we wanted to sell a flax seed oil based balm.  Turns out, flaxseed “unflavoured” tastes great. People really like it. Plus, the name is one that sticks.

Anyhow, Just the Flax Ma’am! Lip Balm is another UNFLAVOURED LIP BALM made with the goodness of Highwood Crossing’s Certified Organic Non-GMO Flax Oil.  Probably our coolest name for a lip balm thus far (although Funky Cold Camelina is pretty awesome…)

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!
