Biodegradable Cosmetics Packaging

If you care as much about packaging as you do about the cosmetic ingredients you put on (and consequently in) your body, this organic lip balm is the perfect pick. Available from PhoenixBotanicals on Etsy, the lip chaps are made from fresh plants, herbal essential oils, locally sourced beeswax, organic jojoba oil, organic olive oil and organic shea butter. The handmade cosmetics also come with eco-friendly paper push up tubes which not only look pretty, but are easy to use too.

The organic lip balm comes in a set of three, containing soothing herbal options like wild rose, wild mint and Little Wing, which is a vanilla and cocoa offering with a dash of citrus blossom. In addition to the biodegradable push-up paper packaging, the balms also come in a muslin pouch that can be reused as a tea bag.
