All
natural balm for your lips,
not
a synthetic stew of chemicals.
In most commercial lip protection you will find petroleum-based ingredients (petroleum jelly, paraffin, and mineral oil).These are derived from the same crude oil that is used to make gasoline
and grease. It is ironic that these
substances are found in products which are supposed to protect and prevent
chapping. These un-natural ingredients aren’t absorbed by the skin and provide
only a short-term fix for dry, chapped lips.Since petroleum ingredients keep the skin from breathing, they can, if
used frequently, actually make your lips more chapped.
Nii-Kii lip balm and butter contain NO
petroleum-based ingredients. Our balms are made with shea butter.
Shea is the most important
ingredient in
our lip products. Its effect on the skin is different from
that of petroleum. Instead of lying inert on the surface of the lips, it is
absorbed by the skin cells. It
improves moisture retention capacity for your lips, so they become dry
and
chapped much less frequently.
