I just discovered that Chapstick is made out of petroleum. I didn't realize that I've been smearing petroleum on my lips all these years. Gross. Who knew? I guess if I'd thought about it, I coulda figured it out. Aside from the fact that petroleum is a non-renewable resource, petroleum is a probable human carcinogen.
I haven't tried either of them yet, but here are some natural alternatives:
- Chapstick has a couple of lip care products that are made from natural ingredients.
- EcoLips that makes organice lip care products (found this on Ideal Bites).
It makes me wonder how many other products I use daily that are made out of petroleum or petroleum by-products.
