Your lips are one of the most sensitive areas of your body, and therefore they need to be constantly nourished and protected. Unfortunately, what not a lot of women know is that the lipsticks and lip glosses we regularly use from mainstream brands contain lots of petroleum derived ingredients, parabens and artificial fragrances and colours. Not only can these dry up and damage your lips but they’re harmful to rest of your body: lips, like your skin, are incredibly porous and so you will actually absorb some of these chemical nasties. There are, however, some great lip options to give you that popping colour, wonderful shine and long-lasting staying power that contain completely natural ingredients. Here is out pick of the best organic lip products: you won’t go back!
Lip balm – Trilogy
Trilogy is a company hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, and has built their brand around three important concepts: simple, pure and vital. They are determined to produce skincare products that work in harmony with the body to restore, replenish and nourish; the only way to achieve this is by using unique blends of natural ingredients, herbs and plants without any harmful toxins and chemicals. Their lip products provide no exception, and we love their gentle Rose Hip oil balm to use for day-to-day wear. Rose Hip oil is full of naturally occurring nutrients and fatty acids to smooth lips and infuse them with much needed moisture. The luscious, fragrant smell is natural too, garnered from jojoba oil, cocoa butter and with extracts of citrus and rosemary. Team this gorgeous, natural balm with a crisp white shirt, blue jeans and loafers.
Lip gloss – Benecos
Natural lip colours are great for when you want to recreate the classic no-makeup makeup look. Ideal for nights out or for a polished day look, which you can shop at Mary Jane Fashion, we all need some understated natural colours to go with our ensembles. To get this look completely naturally, we would recommend opting for the Natural Shiny Lip Colour from organic beauty company Benecos. Certified by European board BDIH, you can trust that Benecos have produced the best possible products from natural ingredients that are of an outstanding quality. These practical and fun pencil shaped lip glosses contain a luxurious blend of vitamin E, jojoba oil, sunflower oil and beeswax to hydrate and moisturise your lips whilst creating a subtle but long lasting colour on your lips.
Lipstick – Lily Lolo
When autumn and winter roll in, we love looking to rich berry hues to suit the changing season. Perfect for evenings out, high profile gatherings and parties, berry hues will give your ensemble an instant high-fashion finish, proving a chic alternative to classic reds and pinks. Create this look perfectly with Lily Lolo’s Berry Crush Lipstick. This lipstick is free from nanoparticles, parabens, harsh chemicals and preservatives, giving a creamy, smooth finish that is packed with natural waxes, vitamin E and jojoba oil to get the same effect as more mainstream products. Lily Lolo are a reliable British brand that looks to minerals and plant extracts for their ingredients, ensuring that their customers have lips and skin that stand out and wow, but is never comprised by aggressive chemical nasties.
