Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for a good lip balm. I have one stashed in nearly every room of my house. Being that I have so many favorites, I thought I’d share them with you. Growing up my favorite was a cherry flavored name brand. Since that has just too many things I can’t ingest, I’ve switched to organic brands using only essential oils and vitamin E instead of lengthy, unpronounceable preservatives. All of the lip balms listed are cruelty free and are made by companies with an eye on caring for the earth, or contribute to greater causes.
Not only does the peach balm taste perfectly peachy without overpowering, but every purchase helps fund cleft palate surgeries for children in need. The balms are organic, vegetarian, cruelty free and free from harmful chemicals commonly used in cosmetics. I keep this one in my desk drawer to apply during my late night writing sessions.
This is my go-to lip balm to wear while outside in the sun. I keep it in my purse so I am ready to combat those UVA/UVB rays while running errands, or playing at the park. This is the best lip balm with SPF I have ever used. Everything else tastes like sunscreen, or contains so much fragrance to cover up the sunscreen scent. Kiss My Face is vegetarian, preservative free, it is also gluten free, and does not contain artificial colors.
The Cherry Vanilla is my favorite. It reminds me of being a kid and getting a cherry lip balm as a treat. But this one tastes better, feels better and is better for my body! This balm is vegetarian and certified organic. I keep this one in my medicine cabinet to use as part of my day/night time routine. I put it on right after brushing!
Created with organic essential oils, this balm comes in five different flavors. It glides on so smooth and the flavor isn’t perfumey or over powering. I keep this one in the drawer of my night stand to apply just before bed. My lips are still moisture rich by morning. One of my absolute favorites!
You may not think it is a big deal to use organic, or chemical free products on your lips but here’s a fun fact: we swallow approximately 6 pounds of lipstick/lip balm in our life time. Are you sure you want it to be full of things you can’t pronounce? It may be too pricey to keep one in every room (each balm lasts me nearly a year), but it is definitely worth investing in one good one to carry with you.

I am addicted to Blistek lip balm, like you, I have them stashed all over the house, my car, my purse. I literally can not live without a tube.
I had a big Blistek addiction while I was in college. 😉
I am always on the lookout for good sunscreen lip balm. I love that this supports a good cause, too. And those flavors sound fabulous!
SPF is a must for summer time play dates and splashing at the pool!
These sound like such nice lip balms, I’ve just bought a glamglow lip balm and it’s so hydrating x
I’ve never heard of that brand. Now I’ve learned something new! 😉
I always like regular chapstick lol I don’t know why but something about it makes me feel somewhat nostolgic.
Definitely nostalgic. 😉 But trust me the brands I shared in the post feel much smoother and last longer.
I just ran out of lip balm and have been looking for something new, so I am glad to have new brands to search for! Organic is so much better, the amount of chemicals we ingest on accident is ridiculous.
I don’t think many of us ever thought about what’s in our lip balm before.
I have never tried any of these. I am going to check these out for sure! I typically use Burt’s Bees, but these look great.
I used to love Burt’s tinted lip balms but they stopped making the color I love!
I feel like my bag is full of different kinds of lip balm! I would love to try out all these different flavors! They look cute too!
You simply can not go wrong with a pretty lip balm. 😉
I’ve tried a few products from Kiss My Face and loved them. I will have to try their lip balms out as soon as I finish my stash of other balms.
I love everything I’ve tried from Kiss My Face. I live for their olive oil soaps too!
I have friends and family who are big lip balm users and I will share this post with them. I fear that a few of them are still using the cherry flavored lip balm of their childhood.
No shame in the cherry lip balm- it is nostalgic. 😉
It’s so nice to see more and more organic lip balms for a change. I think it’s awesome that you shared these brands with us.
Happy to share!
I think those are worth a try. I love a good moisturizing lip balm especially if it’s organic and made with natural ingredients!
These are my tried and true!
A great lip balm is a must have. I have always used Body Works lip balms and really like the. This post has shown me that there are some really good ones to try. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading!
These are new finds for me. My family is all about the EOS.
I’ve never tried EOS. I know my kids will steal it b/c it’s so cute. 😉
They all sound great to me. I would love to try either one. I use a lot of lip balm and I will try many different brands.
You can’t go wrong with any of these!
I also use Lip Balm too! I like that this product has SPF to protect my lips when I am outdoors.
I never had sun burn on my lips until I became a mom. Crazy how the body changes!
I’m one of those people who always has to have a lip
Balm on me at all times!!!! I apply it 6319917 times a day. I will have to try your suggestions
Me too!
