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!

I LOVE this product. I have chronic dry lips that used to become chapped and, not only unattractive with the cracks and peeling, but painful. This product has changed all that. When I use it daily, my lips stay healthy. The only time they start to burn in when I forget to put it on or use too much lipstick. Without Wondrous Lips as a base, the lipstick dries my lips out. Maybe lipsticks are next??? I will be first in line!
makes your lips feel like butter!
