Products That Make A Difference- Tantalizing Lip Butter
An important focus of this blog is on community, so I will regularly test and review products that give back to the community in some way.
Tantalizing Lip Butter, The Body Shop
Background
HIV and AIDS has been an epidemic for years, and the sad thing is that it is so preventable. The Body Shop has partnered with MTV and the Staying Alive Foundation to create this lip butter to raise money towards awareness campaigns.
Product Test
I love lip balms, so I was excited to try a new one! The lip butter smells AMAZING, and goes on smooth. It made my lips glossy and soft. The butter left a thin layer on my lips, versus a thick gunky layer that some balms leave. The only disappointment was that there is no SPF protection.
Key Ingredients
The key ingredients of this product are Community Trade shea butter, Community trade beeswax, both of which moisturize and soften.
Community Benefits
*Community Trade shea butter, supporting the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association, Northern Ghana
*Community trade beeswax from tropical forests of North West Zambia, which allows beekeepers to preserve their natural way of life
*$5 from each lip butter purchased goes towards raising HIV and AIDS awareness
Where Can I Get It?
Visit The Body Shop, or get it online here.
The cost is $8, with $5 going to raise HIV and AIDS awareness
