here's also a recipe to make your own.
Vegan, no animal or animal by-products.
Contains no artificial colors or preservatives!
2 ozs Hemp Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, or Almond Oil
1 oz Virgin Coconut Oil
1.2 ozs of Candelilla Wax
1/4 tsp. Rosemary Extract
few drops of Vitamin E Oil (Tocopherol)
few drops of essential or flavor oils or a combination. We used
tangerine essential oil, boysenberry and cranberry flavor oils.
Melt the candelilla wax in a pan over low heat. Once melted add the
remaining ingredients except for the flavor or essential oils. Heat through and transfer into a microwave container with a pour spout. Add the flavor and/or essential oil - stir well and pour immediately into lip balm tubes or containers. Use a pipette to top off the lip balm tubes. If mixture starts to solidify before you're finished pouring, heat for a few seconds in the microwave. Recipe makes about 5 ounces of lip balm.
Try applying Vaseline rather than any other balms because they sometimes contain animal fat. Or try applying pure oil.
You have got to be kidding me? They are all safe, they won't kill you dear.
My Lip Stuff is all natural and animal friendly.
My Lip Stuff makes really good, moisturizing vegan lip balms. I like the Holiday Limited Edition one:

Kiss My Face sells lip balms and doesn't use any animal testing or ingredients. You can find them at Whole Foods:

I'm not sure about The Body Shop.
alba is really good and vegan as well -- its available online and at whole foods and other health food stores. foodfight.com has some good ones (and some good other stuff too!)
vaseline is not vegan.
Merry Hempsters has a vegan line, but they also have non-vegan lip balms, so make sure it says "Vegan" on the tube.
Crazy Rumors is a company that makes vegan lip balms.
Many vegan online retailers carry several types of lip balm.
I would wager that the Body Shop's stuff is NOT vegan.
"Oh Well" ... you will find that this is serious stuff for these folks. Wait until you run across the nutters who insist on feeding their pets vegetarian dog and cat food!!!
Dear, Tezzzz child, I found some wonderful lip balm by "Burt's Bees" in a recent trip to NYC. It contains pomegranate oil. It says "not tested on animals" . . . so it's great for all you "veggie-animals". Do you wear hemp knickers as well?
Please try Eminence Organics Three-Step Lip Treatment!
Simple delicious, 100% vegan and unique!
if you by any chance live in or around portland, oregon. music millenium always has vegan lip balm chapstick stuff at the front counter. if not i am sure foodfight has some, foodfight.com is the website
You know I think some people push the vegan, veggie to another level. Why are you a vegan? If the animal fat is that important than use Olive oil, Toms' Natural usually carry all natural products and they may have some but don't put yourself in bondage behind the little things.
