In the past for some reason, when traveling, we would seek out every natural health food store, browse around and end up buying one lip balm from each establishment. There were some we loved and some that we wished we hadn't purchased. This was before I began formulating an herbal lip balm for URB Apothecary. I'm usually the my own products harshest critic, but I honestly have to say that URB's lip balm is my all-time favorite. The common user review is of that same vein; it's their new and most preferred lip balm. One customer was delighted that she didn't have to reapply every five minutes and even found that over time her lips didn't dry out as fast when not using the lip balm.
The herbs and oils we use are chosen specifically for their healing and protecting qualities. Below is our listing description. Check it out in our
