Ingredients: 


I don't mind the scent of 8 Hour Cream, I often use the original on my lips, however if you aren't a fan so haven't tried Intensive Repair Lip Balm, have a sniff of it next time you're in store because the scent is very, very subtle.

This is a very thick, hydrating lip balm with a lovely soft cooling sensation that lasts for around half an hour after application. 

I typically use this as a night time treatment and on days when my lips are really dry. It also works well as a treatment for sore noses and dry patches. 

It's fragrance free, so ideal for those days when you can't tolerate any flavour on your lips.

Ingredients: sunflower seed oil, beeswax, olive fruit oil, peppermint oil, tea tree leaf oil, hemp seed oil, tocopherol, camellia sinensis leaf extract, stevia leaf extract. 

I can't place in iHerb order without getting a lip balm or three. I've discovered some amazing balms that aren't available in Australia, Avalon Organics being one of them. The Peppermint Green Tea balm is perfection. The flavour is lovely, the perfect mix of green tea and peppermint, like a soft, sweet mint.

Texture wise this is very similar to Crazy Rumors balms. Next time you're placing an iHerb order, add a few of these balms to your cart. If you haven't ordered from iHerb, code YUF175 will get you a discount on your order.
