Battle Green’s Zero Waste (vegan) Lip Balms
Battle Green Lip Balms are not just made with natural ingredients (organic jojoba oil, cocoa butter and castor oil plus candelilla wax – a vegan alternative to beeswax). But they are also sold in cardboard push-up tubes, to avoid plastic waste.
Lip balms are not needed by everyone (start from the inside – drink enough water, use humidifiers in dry rooms and avoid exfoliating flaky lips).
Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/breastfeeding (avoid shea butter for latex allergies). Keep lip balms away from pets due to cocoa butter and zinc oxide in sun-protection lip balms (many have tempting but toxic flavours like chocolate or citrus). Wash off before letting pets kiss you!

Don’t Kiss People, If You Have Cold Sores
Cold sores can transfer to others. So don’t go kissing anyone if you have one. Especially don’t kiss babies, as this can lead to serious neonatal herpes.
