I will only use lip balms that are made out of all natural ingredients and don’t contain parabens or any petroleum products. I consider myself to be a lip balm connoisseur because I have literally tried over 30 kinds of lip balm. I prefer either minty or fruity lip balms, so when I heard that the Made from Earth Spearmint and Blueberry Balm was really minty, I had to try it!

If this lip balm was so thick and waxy, it would be one of the best. I love it because it is made with natural ingredients, and because it is nice and minty which makes your lips tingle. Unfortunately, it is very thick and waxy and it doesn’t glide on my lips like other lip balms do. That is my only complaint.

I would recommend it to others to try because I am a little picky when it comes to lip products, so it might just be me.

I just moved to Alaska where winters can get below 40C. I use Curel and Neutrogena lip balm. I would like to try organic products like the lip balm and I like the idea of using packaging that would be environmentally friendly – like recycled paper.

I’d love to enter (if its open to Canadians). I would love to try the lipbalm as I have dry lips especially in the winter. I’m all for the plastic free packaging!

I am a construction worker and am outside year round. I have found the organic moisturizers to really hydrate my skin. Love your packaging. Biodegadeable is awesome. If they could only find more in the construction world that would be awesome. Love your site.

Hi Beth,
I am interested to see this. We gave up making lip balms (despite pleading from our customers) because of the packaging issue. People did not like tins or glass jars as much as tube dispensers, and they are so “disposable/eco-unfriendly.
I would love to try/see these tubes. Even so, I come back to the problem that – as a tiny family business, we probably cannot get them for our own use.
I cannot wait until such packaging becomes so mainstream that it is not extremely difficult for smaller companies to easily access it.

We continue making soaps. Packaging those, thankfully, is not an issue.

I pretty much eschew cosmetics- you get what you see with me. I buy hand lotion from a local herbalist. She does use plastic containers but I don’t use it that often. My one daily need is my lip balm. I use Nanak’s Lip Smoothie and just cringe every time I buy another one in a plastic tube. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of the tin tubs and my fingers as applicator. So, I would be very excited to try the Organic Essence product in the “eco tube”. Thanks for the info and the give-away.

My wife is telling me to enter this contest :)

We’ve been simplifying and green-ifying our home for several months now. Each new development leads us to a new product. We’ve gone from purchasing foods and products that contain more natural ingredients, and have recently begun ridding ourselves of plastic after stumbling across this site. We had gone from Carmex to Ecolips, but were never really satisfied because of the plastic. This new lip balm with compostable materials is just outstanding! I’m so glad to see companies developing more earth-friendly products!

Can I still enter?
I am still using up cosmetic/skin items encased in plastic but I’m keeping my eyes open for items not packaged like that. I’ve started buying bulk store soaps that come with no packaging – its a start :-)
