Whamisa Organic Flowers Lip Moisture 0.14 Oz - Naturally Fermented, Cruelty-Free Lip Balm

Description

Product description Whamisa Organic Flowers Lip Moisture Product Rundown Whamisa's Organic Flowers Lip Moisture is one of three lip care products offered by Whamisa, of course with each of them having their own characteristics and offering their own benefits. One general common similarities between all three types is the generous amount of quality 'butter' that forms the foundation of each 'lip moisture' product, but the ratio and type of butter differs to create a more unique and tailored product. Each of these balm-type lip care products have been made chock full of natural and organic ingredients, while also avoiding harming bees by choosing botanical waxes over beeswax. The unique aspects of the Organic Flowers version is that the base is formed with Organic Murumuru and Shea butters, making up about half of the formula and offering the feature of being the most lightweight type of the three. It is also the only product that is tinted with naturally-derived coloring to impart a beautiful pink tint to your lips. Featured Ingredients Murumuru Butter Rich in fatty acids , murumuru butter offers an excellent base for lip balms to be formulated upon! Its unique properties makes it perfect to be blended with other butters to improve their performance and to leave a protective layer on the lips. Shea Butter Shea Butter is a rather famous ingredient found in many products that offer moisturization, and for good reason. Melting at body temperature, this particular butter has notable properties of being rapidly absorbed into the skin , and also binding well to moisture . Candellia Wax Whamisa has replaced Beeswax with wax that is derived from plants; in this case, the Candellia plant. Wax is a major ingredient in many lip balms, providing protection and coverage for the lips they are applied to. Avoiding beeswax helps also avoid disruption to the lives of our lovely and precious bees. Flower, Beauty, and Four Natural Origins: 'Whamisa' About Whamisa Whamisa is a Korean Skincare Brand that focuses on Clean Beauty . At a glance, that term can simply be understood as a gimmick where certain ingredients are picked for their supposed natural and/or organic origins. This is not the case with Whamisa. Their definition and pursuit of Clean Beauty is comprehensive, and covers a great range of considerations Four Different Fields and their Experts that are involved in the planning and design of their products Ingredient Sourcing : Avoiding the usage of synthetic ingredients, and acquiring from suppliers that engage in sustainable, environmentally conscious practices. To add to this, each source has been tested to ensure that the ingredients have not been given any sort of chemically derived agricultural products like pest control agents and fertilizers . (Natural options are used instead!) Production and Testing : Many other brands work with third party manufacturers to create their products, but not Whamisa. All Whamisa products are manufactured and sold under the same parent company, ENS Korea, which gives them complete control over where and how their products are made and processed. This is also why you won't see any sort of animal cruelty or testing with any of their products: They chose not to, and know that this decision is adhered to. Product Design : From the amount and type of packaging to the contents and effectiveness of the actual product, environmental stewardship has been carefully considered each step of the way. Recyclable paper (cardboard), plastic, and glass is used wherever possible, and the ingredients that make up each of their quality products also sourced in environment-respecting manners. Disposal : One of the steps we just mentioned includes the disposal part once you are done with the product. Each one has been designed to be reusable and/or recyclable as much as possible, minimizing the amount of true 'waste' that ends up in the landfill. Whamisa is the champion of Clean Beauty. Whamisa and the Power of Fermentation Enhanced, Nutritious Ingredients Fermentation has been used for years and years to help preserve and improve food in a natural, effective manner. Science has shown that the fermentation process can convert various parts of a given ingredient into a completely different form, creating and introducing beneficial new substances, reducing particle size for increased availability, all while improving nutritional and antioxidant contents at the same time. Whamisa has taken the fermentation concept and incorporated it into their brand and product design, such that each and every one of their products contain their signature fermentation filtrate ingredients to give each of them a boost that can translate to the skin, bringing it a higher amount of antioxidants and nutrients. Starting off with natural origin ingredients (and a lot of it organic), they inoculate it with a dose of the famous 'Lactobacillus' known for their ability to create these heightened and beneficial compounds from raw ingredients. The following fermentation process is then combined with a solvent in their patented filtration process to yield their signature natural fermentation filtrate ingredients. Nature at the Forethought Going from Ingredient to Packaging and Product, Eco-Conscious Each Step of the Way Naturally, Whamisa's products are from natural origins with as much of it being as organic as possible. That hasn't changed to this day, though with their product redesign and relaunching, the organic bit has actually improved to represent an even larger percentage of the product's ingredient profile! As of 2020, the company has extended their environmental stewardship and eco-conscious focus to include even their packaging, making as much of it as they can out of recyclable materials, while including some recycled materials as well. Unfortunately, due to the unique characteristics needed by the lip moisture tube for strength and stability, the design this time around is one that is not recyclable. Care was taken to minimize the use of this material, however, to avoid creating excess waste. The cardboard packaging, on the other hand, has been designed to be fully biodegradable and recyclable! With all the news about landfills and environmental damage caused by pollution and waste, Whamisa is taking a step in the right direction to try and bring forward a better tomorrow. Review: Very pretty balm - This is a very nice balm. It’s just the right level of sheer and pretty color. I didn’t actually order this color, it was supposed to be the colorless balm, but I figured it was meant to be so I kept it. I haven’t been able to wear it much bc of mask life, but I’m sure I will when life goes back to normal. Review: Great product - false advertising - Best lip balm ever! Stays on longer and really feels so good. I love it! HOWEVER - the picture clearly shows 2 tubes of lip balm and the quantity starts at 1, so you would logically conclude that means 1 pkg of 2 lip balms - but you will feel cheated and disappointed when you only receive 1 little tube. $16 for 2 is pricey, but it’s great stuff. $16 for one is ridiculously expensive! Whamisa products are pricey but well worth it, and I’m pretty sure I’ll order this again but I object to false advertising and price gouging!
