Whilst living in Australia is awesome, the lip balms that aren't available here is not awesome. The Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick is one of the great products that we can no longer get here, I have no idea why. It's a cruel world.
If you live in the US you can still buy these balms and I suggest you do, especially if you love chocolate scented balms. It has a very light chocolate flavour and smells amazing.

Years ago I tried the Miessence Jaffa lip balm and it was a grainy, awful mess that ended up in the bin. Fast forward about ten years and I decided to give it another go. This time I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely it is. The texture is beautifully creamy, very hydrating and a pleasure to use. I love the slim tube, it fits easily in my pocket which is always a bonus.

organic chocolate flavour, organic jojoba seed oil, organic peppermint
essential oil, d-alpha tocopherol, bertholietia excelsa seed oil, ucuuba
nut oil, astrocaryum murumura butter.
I am totally in love with this balm and really want to try all the other flavours. It's 100% natural and as it's beeswax free it's suitable for vegans. I purchased it for the chocolate mint flavour, as you can imagine, it smells like an after dinner mint.
The texture is lovely, smooth and very hydrating with a slight mint tingle for a few minutes after I apply. My only complaint is that it's not very easy to find.
