I recently got to try out some awesome lip balm samples from Anti-Body (that’s short for “anti-poverty, beautiful body”). They sent me their peppermint lip balm, which I’m always a sucker for. It’s no wonder why this balm is one of their best-sellers. It’s full of nothing but ingredients you actually know and can pronounce, including fair trade shea butter and fair trade coconut oil.
I’d been hooked on the C.G. Bigelow mentha lip balm before, but upon second glance, there’s a lot of ingredients in that balm with long, chemical sounding names that I’m not really sure what they are. And though the Anti-Body balm doesn’t have quite the tingly pepperminty kick of the C.G. Bigelow balm, I’ve found it’s left my lips feeling a lot softer for a lot longer.
I made my boyfriend try out the chocolate hazelnut balm from their Nutcracker Sweet set, and I’ve gotta admit that when I kissed it off of him, it was pretty tasty stuff. My friend Gwen from Sigh Co. Graphics tested the sugar plum flavor for me and she really enjoyed it as well.
Every Anti-Body product features one or more fair trade ingredients, and as more fair trade ingredients come onto the market, their goal is manufacture 100% fair trade body care products. All of their products currently feature recyclable packaging (with most of it being made from recycled materials), they are free from parabens and are never tested on animals.
