Badger Certified Organic Lip Balm Stick Unscented - 0.15 oz. (4.2 g)
Badger Certified Organic Lip Balm Stick Unscented is Badger's most basic lip balm, perfect for the sensitive and scent-wary. Soothes, smoothes protects, and nourishes lips, without any added scent, just a hint of Olive and Beeswax. Rosemary CO2 extract is used as a preservative in very low concentration, so you cannot smell it.Most other lip balms are petroleum-based, which may protect, but won't moisturize your lips. Badger's both protect and moisturize, and come in unique flavors made from the real stuff - steam-distilled essential oils, no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Based in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Beeswax, these have a lighter textured thanBadger Cocoa Butter Lip Balms, and sport the antioxidant powers of Seabuckthorn and Rosehip Extracts, as well as organic Aloe Vera Extract for dry weather soothing. Badger wants to see the Earth treated kindly and with respect. This means sourcing and using fair trade and organic ingredients in all ofBadger products. The “certified” part means that there is a system in place for verifying the authenticity of the ingredient. This lip balm, for instance, uses about 99% certified organic ingredients. Good news for all concerned!Badger uses Rosemary CO2 extract as a fragrance-free anti-oxidant and natural preservative. Generally, Badger Balms are preserved with the essential oils, but many of the lip balms have such a low percentage of essential oils, especially the unscented products, that they needs something extra to help stabilize the base ingredients. The ingredients in Badger Balm are USDA Certified Organic.

Badger Questions & AnswersWhat is the shelf life of an unopened tin of Badger? An unopened tin of Badger stored at moderate temperatures should be good for three years. If you open it and it smells good, it is good. Since most of their products are made with a base of olive oil and beeswax, both natural preservatives, even a balm that doesn't smell as good is still safe to use, just not as pleasant! They do not use chemical stabilizers or any other nasty stuff, so extremes in temperature (such as freezing, thawing, and humidity) can affect shelf life by changing the consistency and lessening the scent of the balm. All of their tins are imprinted with a "Best By" date on the outside of the lid, which is three years from manufacture. Their lip balms have both a date of manufacture and a "BB" (best by) date stamped on the bottom of the stick, which is two years after manufacture. Their oils have a "Best By" date sticker on the product boxes as well as on the bottom of the glass bottle, which is two years from the manufacture date. Their sunscreens have an "EXP" (expiration date) imprinted on the top of the tube within the crimped seal, which is two years from the manufacture date.
How long will an opened tin last? As soon as you open a tin of any product and use it, the life span varies. Since Badger does not use any chemical stabilizers, factors such as storage temperature and humidity, as well as how clean the fingers are that scoop out the product impact an open tin's life span. Essential oils will slowly but surely evaporate from an open tin; that's the pleasant fragrance you smell when you open one. You can expect your opened balm to stay good for 12 months, however if it looks good and smells good, it is still good!
How can I make sure my Badger stays fresh? Keep it covered when not in use. Keep your product out of direct sun when possible, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it will certainly prolong the life of the product.
Why does the balm in my tin of Badger look different than the last time I bought it? Badger uses only minimally-processed natural ingredients, and because of this, variation in color from one batch to another is common. Normal variance in sunshine, rain, or temperature from year to year or country harvested can all subtly affect natural ingredients. One season's pressing of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be greener in color than others, or you may experience a stronger or subtler scent with an e
