You may be wondering why I have grouped these two balms together. You may say...well they are different prices, have different ingredients...they are different flavors!! Yes. Yes they are. I've chosen to combine this blog because they are both Bee Free products from EcoLips. The Bee Free Lemon-Lime is already a product of Eco Lips and seems to be a big seller. It is Vegan. They both are. The passionfruit is is a beta balm. A beta balm is a trial balm Eco Lips put out for limited sale through their website. I think the company may be expanding their Vegan, Bee Free line.

The Bee Free Lemon-Lime balm is very similar to the Merry Hempsters lip balm in regards to smell and taste. It glides on nicely, feels a tad greasy, but it quickly absorbs, leaving your lips nice and smooth. It is also 70% organic. It does have a solid durability. It is lip-licking good, so I would say that I re-applied this somewhat frequently. This stuff stays for about and hour or two, but I'm sure it would last longer if you have better self control than I do.

The Beta Balm Bee Free in Passionfruit was a gamble I took. It is a reasonable price and limited. Why not try it?! I must say I am pleased. It has a delightful texture and glides right on. It does not feel as greasy as the Lemon-Lime initially does. It smells like passionfruit but it tastes a lot more like a passionfruit and acia, which is actually fabulous. I favor the passionfruit over the Lemon-Lime. I think the scent and flavor is much better and I feel that it absorbs better.

The nice thing about both of these balms is the fact they don't get soft when they are in your pocket. I left the lemon-lime in the car, in the sun (I don't mean to do this I swear!), and it got a little soft, but did not liqui-fy.

I'm happy to see Eco Lips representing Vegans. Their products are of the utmost quality and the prices are extremely reasonable. They are expanding their flavors to go beyond the typical berry, cherry, strawberry, and vanilla that it seems like everyone offers.

I know this company is not a home made business, but these balms are made in small quantities by people. They even use solar power to power their little warehouse. I also called about a mix up with my order and spoke to the same person each time I called, and they were so friendly and helpful. They really are a socially conscience business who is also looking out for the environment. Their slogan is "Don't Panic, It's Organic."

Overall, this lip balm is really spectacular. My only issue is the fact that it is slightly greasy when you apply it.
