Punkin Pie Lip Balm

This Lip Balm was intended to be a seasonal, limited availability fall lip balm but customers let us know that they’d like to have it to be available all year long.  People still seem to buy it most often in the fall though so the scarcity principle may or may not be at play here.  Maybe some marketing students want to look into this for me – thinking while typing…sorry.

Oh yeah, almost forgot.  We get the flavour from a delicate balance of nutmeg and cinnamon essential oils.

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 flavored 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 flavored lip balms was born!

• Net wt. 4.25 grams
• 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 liquify. For the best results, please leave your lip balm in a cool place!

So let’s cheers to #CANADIANGREENBEAUTY !!!
