When I reviewed the Merry Hempsters hemp lip balm, I was told that Ecolips had a way better version. Well... it's time I put this balm to the test then. As you may recall, the Merry Hempsters Lemon-lime lip balm got a 4 outta 5. Let us begin...

This balm is very sophisticated. The tube, label design, everything about it. I would expect, like with the Merry Hempsters, to have some random funny stoner label or something that would make thing of Dead Heads, but Ecolips has stepped up. Although the cannabis leaf is on the label, it is presented well in the contrasting green. As a straight edger, I am not insulted by this label whatsoever.

It smells divine! It smells like vanilla bean gellato. De-lish! And it tastes just as splendid. It is vanilla-ish but it has a hint of chai...just a little dash of it though.

It glides on very well. It is not the slick greasy glide the Merry Hempsters provides. This is representative of a typical Ecolips glide. Smooth but not slick. Silky.

And this stuff wears long, like a typical Ecolips balm. I put it on after I ate, but this stuff wears for hours. And it also begins to absorb right away but even as its absorbing it leaves your lips just feeling so soft and quenched. It's the perfect feeling a lip balm can provide!

The only con to this lip balm, in regards to the Merry Hempsters hemp lip balm, is the lack of SPF. Some people swear by SPF balm so if that is you, I'm sorry. But I'm not too sorry 'cuz that means more for me.

Overall, I find this balm to be superior to that of Merry Hempsters. I'll risk lip-burn for the quality that Ecolips provides in this hemp balm.

Rating: 5 outta 5
