Lip Smackers
Bonne Belle created the first lip smackers, lip salve with flavor. With reports questioning the healthful effects of lip gloss, they have done a very smart thing. They have posted the ingredients of Lip Smackers. It is very interesting to note the natural quality of the ingredients:
Castor oil - A natural oil obtained from the seeds of Ricinus Communis to add emolliency and gloss.
Beeswax - A natural purified wax from the honeycomb of the bee, Apis Mellifera to give structure and rigidity.
Cetyl Acetate - Gives emollience and gloss to the lips and acts as a conditioner.
Candelilla Wax - A natural wax from Euphoriaceae plants.
Flavor/Fragrance - Natural and artificial GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) ingredients.
Polybutene -This adds gloss and adhesion.
Sesame Oil - A natural oil that adds gloss and emolliency.
Ozokerite - A wax derived from mineral or petroleum sources to add rigidity and structure.
Carnauba - A natural wax obtained from the leaves and leaf buds of the Brazilian Wax Palm, Coperinicia Cerefera to add rigidity and structure.
Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol - The acetyl ester of lanolin alcohol is a very good conditioner for dry, chapped lips.
Mineral Oil - A refined liquid from petroleum to add emolliency.
Hydrogenated Soy Glycerides - Soybean oil adds structure, rigidity, and conditioning.
