Our Helichrysum lip balm contains Helichrysum italicum, which is is also called "Immortelle," named for the long-lasting yellow flowers on this famous medicinal plant. Used for centuries as a natural herbal remedy, helichrysum is thought to promote skin renewal, soothe inflammation, and act as a mild antiseptic. The essential oil of helichrysum flowers is very precious, since each petal must be hand-picked. No wonder this flower was dried and offered up to the gods by the Greeks!
Natural compounds found in helichrysum include terpenes, flavonoids, and anti-oxidants. Our helichrysum essential oil is a blend sourced from Corsica and Bosnia, and contains both organically-cultivated as well as wild-sourced flowers (i.e. grown in nature without human intervention). We use a generous 2% therapeutic concentration to maximize the healing properties of this wonderful ingredient in our Helichrysum Lip Balm.
Our organic Helichrysum Lip Balm also includes skin-healing cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil and natural beeswax. To make it extra special, we've also added Evening Primrose Oil, which is renowned for its skin-rejuvenating properties. This is a truly serious lip condititioner!
The natural scent and flavor of helichrysum is tea-like, so we've added organic lemon essential oil to enhance the herbal effect. In aromatherapy, helichrysum is considered to be healing and calming, and we agree.
No artificial scents or flavorings have been added to this lip balm. Because it is a natural product, it is unsweetened to prolong its shelf-life and to avoid the necessity of preservatives.

About our Cardboard Tubes
We use 100% sustainable cardboad push-up tubes for our luxury lip balms. These tubes may look smaller than what the supermarket plastic tubes hold. However, these paper tubes actually contain significantly MORE usable product than those plastic screw-up tubes, which retain quite a bit of unusable balm at the bottom. Typical plastic tubes hold .15 ounce of balm. Superior Dry Goods’ cardboard tubes contain .25 ounces of premium lip balm
