Love nature? Love organic things around you? Then this blog post is for you. Ok wait, this is for every beauty, cosmetics and skin care product blogger/user. Organic Harvest approached me with their organic concept and wanted me to try their natural lip balm. Find them at http://www.organicharvest.in/ So the package arrived at my doorsteps in a tiny jute bag. Mind you, no plastic, and I made a mental note “Organic Harvest lives up to its name”. The small compact lip balm came packed in sturdy holder. The red round pack looked too cute. Keep away from children. I have two round shaped products now, which I better keep locked away from children, lest they should start playing the ball. (Lakme Mousse Foundation was one, and now Organic Harvest).
So this Lip balm is not in the usual stick shape. Looks interesting, isn’t it? This one is a pomegranate formula. The introductory price tagged on the packing is only Rs. 150.
The brand also claims the lip balm to be free of bee wax and other harmful chemicals. Makes it a vegan lipbalm then
Since it is organic, there is no sun protection formula either.As I opened the pack, the cute little ball shape looked like hemisphere of the Earth. With no hint of color or fragrance, the open shot looks like an egg fitted inside a cup. haha. Take a look at the open shot and how to apply it-
Apply the roll on surface to your lips and apply the same. Recommended not to rub your finger on the balm for hygiene reasons.
WHAT I LIKED-
-The cute, leak proof, compact packaging. Even if you carry this to a warm place, it will not melt.
-The very mild fragrance which goes away in some time.
-Leaves lips smooth. I apply at night and wake up to even and crack free lips in morning. Repairs lips slowly.
-Absolutely natural without bee wax or paraben. Does not leave a white wax like whitish line on lips like other lip products.
-Since it has no color or gloss, you can apply lipstick or lip gloss over the Organic Harvest lipbalm.
WHAT I MISSED
-Does not give a glossy sheen or visible moisturizing base to lips.
-No SPF(Which is understood, since it is organic)
-No color (Since it is natural)
-Lips may feel sticky in absence of moisture formula
Those looking for a tinted balm or moisture rich balm, this is not for them, If the organic and natural factor is to be believed, this lip balm would definitely suit them. It is travel friendly but not kid friendly. Absence of SPF is a slight turn off for me. Advisable to apply at night before sleeping.
My rating : 3.5 on 5.
