Kobee's Lip Balm
I love lip balm! It is one of the first items I pack when traveling. If I have my passport, my debit card, and lip balm, that is all I need for a day of adventure. After years of using brands with plastic tubes, I set out to find a lip balm in a paper, recyclable tube. I found an awesome homemade option on ETSY.com that I used for awhile, however, during COVID, they stopped production. So last year, I set out again, and instagram answered my dreams by with serving me up Kobee’s.
Kobee’s is “Saving the planet, one balm at a time.” The lip balm is all natural, homemade, and sustainable with just four simple ingredients (so no extra stuff that is bad for your body!). I ordered the Buzzin Balms 10 Pack and its been happiness at every application!
“KOBEE’S is an environmentally conscious brand that wants to be able to give back what we have taken. If you have ever heard the saying “We aren’t inheriting the earth from our ancestors, we are taking it away from our future children”, it’s true. We are blessed to live among such vast oceans, beautiful mountains, and green forests, but we need to start taking better care of them. Change takes time and requires collaboration, and by investing in KOBEE’S products, you are taking a step in the right direction. KOBEE’S Lip Balm contains all-natural ingredients, is cruelty-free, hand-made, and most importantly, is completely compostable. We want whoever is supporting KOBEE’S to understand that they are making a difference for the environment. It doesn’t matter how small- whether it’s through carrying a water bottle, buying paper straws, or purchasing a single tube of KOBEE’S- it all makes a difference. We research and support other organizations that work to protect this planet, giving them a percentage of KOBEE’S sales. Our brand is committed to helping clean our oceans and lakes, planting trees and reducing deforestation, and providing cleaner air for future generations. One small change is all it takes. BEE the difference. BEE the change.
Ingredients:
At Kobee's we are not only worried about the environment but also making sure we use the best ingredients guaranteed to make your skin feel smooth and hydrated. We use no chemicals or preservatives. We believe only things natural should be going into your body even if that decreases the shelf life our of products. We use four simple ingredients to make the creamy balm you know and love.
Beeswax: A natural emulsifier in cosmetics, used to bind many types of lip balms and lotions.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil packed with fatty acid and collagen helps keep skin hydrated, and healthy. Also with its anti-inflammatory properties its a natural healer for chapped lips, improving overall skin integrity.
Sunflower Seed Oil: This oil is packed with Vitamin A and E which promotes healthy skin. These Vitamins also act as antioxidants which help regenerate damaged cells.
Mango Butter: Adds the smoothness and soothing properties you feel in every Kobee's Lip balm. This magical ingredient adds anti inflammatory and antioxidants to the already great balm.
No PLASTIC
At Kobee's one the main things we notice is all the trash everywhere. Literally everywhere. I started this company as a freshman at Loyola Chicago. Living in a big city definitely has its perks, but one of the downsides I constantly saw was the amount of trash that was everywhere. Even a relatively clean looking building, street or park would always have some sort of trash hiding.
Due to this we have made our products out of plastic free materials and strive to keep our impact on the environment as low as possible. Our lip balms tubes made out of biodegradable cardboard are the perfect and easy start living a more sustainable lifestyle. We know that basically everything on earth is made out of plastic, so it can be hard to know where to start on your sustainable journey. With one small switch to Kobee's balm you are already making a difference. One balm is all it takes.
Your Purchase Supports:
Every purchase you make supports not only your initiative to start living more sustainable but it gives back as well. When you purchase a Kobee's product a small percentage of the profit is allocated to Ocean cleanup, Tree restoration and Air pollution cleanup. By supporting Kobee's you are also supporting these three great causes.”
