I couldnt find any information about a specific product called "Hanboli lip balm." However, I found several articles that discuss ingredients to avoid in lip balms and ingredients that are beneficial. Here are some positive and negative ingredients to look out for:
Positive Ingredients:
- Beeswax: a natural emollient that helps lock in moisture and protect lips
- Shea butter: a natural emollient that helps hydrate and prevent chapped lips
- Coconut oil: a popular ingredient in many lip balms and skincare products that helps to lock in moisture
- Unrefined cocoa butter: a protective barrier that supplies and retains moisture and contains antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E
- Candelilla wax: a plant-based wax that can be used instead of beeswax
Negative Ingredients:
- PEG-8: helps with moisture retention and penetration of the product into the skin layers, but is regularly contaminated with impurities such as 1,4-dioxane, which is toxic and increases the risk of cancer and damage to the cells of the liver, respiratory system, and kidneys
- Lanolin: a fatty substance extracted from sheep skin and hair that can be found in some lip balms and can cause allergic reactions
- Chemical sunscreen: can contain harmful chemicals like oxybenzone, which is a known endocrine disruptor commonly associated with endometriosis in women
- Phenol, menthol, and salicylic acid: can make the lips drier and cause irritation or literally remove the outer layers of the skin
- Petroleum derivatives (mineral oil, petrolatum, petroleum jelly, paraffin): can be contaminated with carcinogens or are known endocrine disruptors
Its important to find a lip balm that contains natural ingredients and is free of harmful chemicals. Look for lip balms with rich and nourishing ingredients that help hydrate and prevent chapped lips. If you have sensitive skin, look for hypoallergenic ingredients. Here are some safe and non-toxic options for lip balms:
- Poppy & Pout Lip Balms: contains ethically-sourced beeswax and has plastic-free packaging
- FitGlow Night Lip Serum: contains organic beeswax and vegetable collagen
- Mona Moon Naturals Lip Balms: contains mango butter and has a refreshingly short, all-natural ingredient list
Always check the ingredient list before purchasing a lip balm and avoid products that contain harmful chemicals.
