Lippschitts by Lote Tree


Lippschitts by Lote Tree
$2.34 (+ $1.50 S&H)

From the Lote Tree Etsy Shop

[sweet almond oil, hemp seed oil, beeswax, shea butter, organic honey, flavor oil, vitamin e]

There a lot of great flavors offered by Lote Tree. I first ordered Rooibos Tea and loved it so much I went back and ordered Harvest Apple.


There is some controversy over the use of Hemp oil in the Straight Edge community. I belong to the group that feels that it is not breaking edge by using this natural by product. There is not any THC or mind altering element within hemp seed oil, and really, it is great for your skin.

These balms have a wonderful application feel. They glide on lightly, leaving a moisturizing and silky feel.

The gold tube is also rad. I've never seen a gold colored lip balm tube, but with the classy labels created by Lote Tree, the gold is a great complimentary color.

They adequately represent their scents, respectively. The Rooibos Tea is really fabulous. It is a sophisticated scent with an equally pleasing flavor. The nutty-ness of the hemp seed oil compliments the tea very well. The Harvest Apple has the scent of a sweet and juicy apple, yet the hemp seed flavor over powers the apple flavor.

This balm's blend is superb. It lasts a great while and really works wonders on your lips. It is the right amount of oils and wax and this stuff can take some serious heat. The past week was filled with days in the 70's and this stuff stayed solid in my pocket.

Overall, this balm is amazing. It seems like every hemp oil lip balm I try out, they get better and better than the last. Compared to the previously reviewed balms, this one is better than the Merry Hempster's blend, but comparable to that o EcoLip's.

Rating: 5 outta 5
