11 Non Petroleum Lip Balm Brands in [2020]

The use of mineral oils in lip care has been controversially discussed between consumer groups and manufacturers for years. The critics consider the use of petroleum derivatives such as Cera Microcristallina (CM), ozokerite (O), paraffin (P), paraffin liquidum (PL) and petrolatum (Ptr) in lip care as potentially harmful.

Especially the purification processes are under suspicion. Despite the technical progress, aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) and saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) enter the cosmetics and then may accumulate in the human body.

They hydrocarbons are considered potentially carcinogenic. Conventional manufacturers, on the other hand, assume that the petroleum based ingredients used in cosmetics  are completely harmless.

Dangerous substances in the lip care include:

• Cera Microcristallina
• Petrolatum (Vaseline)
• Ozocerites
• Microcrystalline Wax
• Paraffinum Liquidum
• Benzophenone-3 (UV filter)
• BHT (antioxidant)

Fortunately, every consumer can decide whether or not he or she wants to apply these substances to the lips and thus to his or her mouth.

Today, there are a number of brands who have developed natural alternatives using mainly plant based ingredients and beewax. The Hurraw! Lip Balms are even vegan.

And the good news is that these lip balms are not necessarily more expensive than there conventional counterparts  that are based on mineral oil.
