I always had a skin on lips and remains very sensitive to weather conditions, differences of temperature conditions. In the winter of a lip very quickly become dry and weather-beaten and if not to use constantly protective equipment, then skin of lips instantly will begin to be shelled. Therefore lip balm - means No. 1 of Must have in my cosmetics bag. This winter in a niche of care of lips on the first place Yves Rocher occupied nutritious lip balm "Honey and the BIO muesli" of the brand.
What drew my attention with and what is promised to us by the producer?
In general cosmetics of the French brand Yves Rocher fascinated me by the naturalness and the what concept long ago: they were some of the first who refused plastic packages and completely passed to the paper packing made on the basis of processing of wood waste. And 1 product of scale of Culture Bio (one of products of which is also this balm too) = one planted tree within the Let's Plant Trees and Shrubs in the Planet Together program
As the producer on packing specifies, 99% of components of natural origin, that is components received from the plants cultivated without GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and with respect for strict norms. Without parabens, petrochemical products, silicone and artificial dyes. Agree, is very seductive! And even the price of this product (at the time of purchase it cost 190 rub), which it is obvious above an average among balms of other not less famous producers, practically did not confuse me.
What in structure?
Of course, I will not list all structure, it can be found also in the Internet, I will describe only active components:
- sesame oil - is a natural humidifier of skin, restores and feeds it
- castor-bean tree oil (or castor oil) - is used for external healing of wounds, and - also has strong softening property.
- beeswax - feeds, softens skin, is very good resolvent. Thanks to what forms a protective film on skin it thereby interferes with her dehydration and presenilation.
- extract of seeds of oats - softens and calms skin
Smell, consistence
Frankly speaking, the smell does not even bear a faint resemblance to aroma of honey or muesli. For me still there is a riddle why it has such name. Yes, the smell and the truth vegetable, smells of officinal herbs (a marjoram, a thyme), and still such aroma is characteristic to cough syrups.
The consistence is dense, transparent color. It is possible to use safely as lip gloss, very beautifully shines on lips. But for summer it will be rather heavy because on lips it is felt and unlike the moisturizing balms is not absorbed, and kind of remains a protective film on lips.
What balm actually?
Upon three-months active use in winter time balm did not disappoint me at all and never brought. It really has nutritious texture, restores the injured skin of lips, perfectly protects from bad weather and gives easy shine.
As I am not able to take a selfie (yes, such individuals still meet) and I do not like to show the parts of the face on a public inspection therefore applied balm on a hand. But even its dense texture and dense consistence with light gloss on skin is visible here.
I want to carry to advantages still and a format of a tube. I can apply with ease a lot of balm before an exit to the street, or, on the contrary, the droplet for the night. From a stik of it it is difficult to achieve.
It is spent economically, the volume of 10 ml lasted for me more than for three months of daily use.
Verdict: I will use further!
