Question

[feliciakw]

For those of my f-list and wider reading public who might be into "all-natural" or "organic" make-up products:

Can you point me in the direction of a good but relatively inexpensive lipstick/stain/color that is petroleum-free? It might also be certain dyes drying out my lips, but it seems the common denominator I've been able to identify is petroleum.

Most recently, cocoa butter has been the most moisturizing and healing, but when I tried Palmer's lip balm, (which I really rather like, alas. Same way I really liked Burt's Bees) it gave me the same troubles as lipstick, and the primary ingredient is petroleum jelly.

I've found a couple of products on-line that look promising, but I was wondering if anyone has specific recommendations for which they could offer testimonies. :-)

Thanks!

Well, mine does contain petroleum (hmm), but a Google search for "lip color without petroleum" turned up some links:

Petroleum-Free Lipsticks, an eco-conscious beauty site

Primitive's Petroleum-Free Lipstick, a review of the brand Primitive

Herbal Choice Mari: Lipsticks, a site with organic and natural lip colors

Oh, thanks. I found the Primitive's in my search, but I don't think I saw the other two.

Oh! And one of them might be available at Sephora! Excellent.

The two I did find that I'm looking at are

Eco Tints (http://www.ecolips.com/store/products/25-eco-tints-sugar-plum.aspx) for to carry in my purse, and

Hemp Organics (http://www.vashonorganics.com/SPD/hemp-organics-lipstick-certified-organic-lipsticks--choose-f--15E0000-1154366431.jsp#).

I think what I need to do, too, is compare ingredient lists (they all seem quite similar with the various organic oils) and prices.

I miss being able to buy over-the-counter lip stuff, but with age comes body and skin changes, I guess. Meh.

:-)

Thanks!
