This tiny baby comes from Nature
& Co., natural-themed brand from Japanese giant, Kose. Right now, Nature
& Co. offers 5 lines of products: Pure White, Vital Purity, Mint & Tea,
Three Butters and Honey Blend. Of course, each line is dedicated to certain
problem/needs of your skin or hair. Three butters has both face and body care
products.
Meant for delicate, sensitive
lips, the balm is packed with many natural ingredients like olive oil,
safflower, cocoa seed oil and shea butter. Some of these ingredients are
organic too.
First, I don’t need another
lipbalm…. But I picked this up… since I adore the packaging so much. The small
5.8 gr brown jar is vintage looking and pretty. It is made of light plastic,
yet feels hard and sturdy.
The balm itself is hard yet
glossy. It melts upon contact with skin, so you don’t have to dig deep to get
the balm. I find little goes along way, since it is so glossy. Unlike my trusty
badger balm, I don’t think this is suitable for lipstick base… again, since it
is glossy. To be used on top of the lippie, it is suitable.
Even though the packaging listed
fragrance, I didn’t smell or taste discernable fragrance or taste. There is
faint herby smell, but I wont detect it unless I bury my nose in the jar.
I rarely use balm/gloss on top of
my lippie. So, I wont use this as much as other more base-suitable balms I own.
However, I found that it made excellent cuticle balm and elbow balm. My dry
patchy elbow loves this balm! Plus, due to the small size, I don’t feel guilty
chucking it in my cosmetic pouch.
Bottomline,
Another nice addition for my
pouch. I like it as cuticle and elbow balm, but I don’t like it that much that I
would repurchase.
