Rebecca talks: This potent but ever-so-pleasant lip balm starts withextra-virgin, organic coconut oil. Coconut oil is a rich source of lauric acid, which has been demonstrated to kill all lipid-coated bacteria and viruses. This includes all of the herpes viruses. When lauric acid and the membranes meet up, the lauric acid essentially dissolves the membrane, leaving the contents defenseless - they spill out and die. Added to this is Lemon balm, which is also known and demonstrated to kill the herpes viruses, as do Calendula flowers; the Calendula also helps speed healing. Green tea contains constituents that are powerful mast cell membrane strengtheners, helping to reduce the release of histamine and - with its high polyphenol/antioxidant content - helps reduce inflammation. Each of the essential oils are included for their antiviral properties, as well as for their pleasant tastes and smell; there are no "shirkers" in this formula!

Use daily if you are prone to cold sore breakouts or simply for a lovely, soothing, and weather-protective lip balm. If you do suffer a breakout, use to help heal and shorten its duration. This is a very popular product... please read here...
