Sun care for lips is often overlooked.  We hear so much about sunscreen, hats and sunglasses and tend to forget that our lips get a lot of sun exposure.  Not using an SPF balm can lead to lip cancer and make our lips more prone to aging, yikes! 

Lip gloss is especially bad at attracting sunlight.  With this in mind I picked up an SPF 15 lip moisturizer from a leading company.  After removing the fancy packing when I got home, the words ‘Warning: If swallowed contact a poison control center right away’ certainly got my attention.  Needless to say I didn’t use it and found some Badger lip balm at Nature’s Fare.  It is a natural, chemical free SPF 15 lip balm that is safe for children too. 

Whatever you decide to choose, please check the label!

Lalabee Bathworks is a local company that handcrafts organic skincare for Mommy & Baby. All our products are made in Kelowna using only certified organic and natural ingredients, bought from local farms and suppliers as much as possible.

We started off in 2007 as Lalabee Baby, offering affordable organic alternatives to infant skincare. Our Bottom Balm (for diaper rash and eczema) is still our best selling product.  A few months later we added our organic Mommy Line, as there was a definite gap in the market for Canadian made organic skincare for Moms.

Lalabee Bathworks strives to be environmentally responsible by not using plastic containers for our products, recycling all our packaging and donating to Heifer International.  Plus we use as many organic ingredients as possible.  You can find our skincare in over fifty stores across Canada and locally at The Natural Baby Shop, Choices Market and Tidy Tushees.
