Our Ingredients
Lip Ganache's lip balm is based on using natural, unrefined ingredients. that are sourced from reliable sources. We only use organic essential oils for our flavors, never artificial flavorings. Our philosophy is to create lip balms that deliver a health benefit.
Not all lip balms are created equal. Many lip balms use inexpensive petroleum products like petroleum jelly and mineral oil, which do not contain any beneficial nutrients from their plant-based counterparts. Most lip balms contain artificial and chemical ingredients, usually in artificial flavors and colors.
At Lip Ganache, we work very hard to source the highest quality all-natural, and unrefined ingredients from reliable sources. It may be harder to accomplish and cost a little more, but we think our customers are worth it. Because our products contain natural ingredients and are made in small lots, there may be slight variations in color and aroma from batch to batch.
Shea Butter
(Butyrospermum parkii)
Shea butter comes from the natural fat of the Karite tree grown in West and Central Africa. Our Shea butter is expeller pressed without the use of solvents. Ours is whole and unrefined, which means it retains the maximum amount of nutrients.
Cocoa Butter
Theobroma Cocoa
Cocoa butter, or Theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, edible fat derived from the cocoa bean. Cocoa butter has a mild chocolate scent and taste. It's rich in oleic, stearic, and palmitic fatty acids.
Sweet Almond Oil
(Prunus amygdalus)
A light nearly odorless oil, it consists mainly of oleic acid (69%), essential unsaturated fatty acids (25%), sterolins (.5 to 1%), and vitamin E (about 10 IU per ounce). Cold pressed to retain maximum nutrients.
Beeswax
(Tocopherol)
We use the natural golden form of beeswax, rather than the white, bleached variety, for its beautiful, sweet smell of honey. Organic beeswax lip balm heals chapped lips.
Apricot Kernel Oil
(Prunus armeniaca)
Apricot kernel oil comes from the large pits of apricots that yield up to 45% oil. Apricot kernel oil has 30% unsaturated essential fatty acid content. Cold pressed to retain maximum nutrients.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla Planifolia
Vanilla is a natural treatment for cold sores, cuts, scrapes, and acne. Vanilla is also rich in antioxidants, which help rid the body of free radicals and slow aging. Research suggests that vanillin, found in vanilla extract, may help reduce inflammation.
Vitamin E
(Tocopherol)
Vitamin E oil is an emollient, anti-oxidant, and natural preservative.
Rosemary Extract
(Rosmarinus officinalis)
It contains antioxidants that are oil-soluble. It also acts as a natural preservative for the lip balm.
Peppermint Oil
(Mentha piperita)
Ours is distilled from organic peppermint grown in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
Sweet Orange Oil
(Citrus sinensis)
