At this point, I think that it should come as no surprise that I am over-the-moon about about Surya Brasil. It is an environmentally friendly and cruelty-free company that makes exquisite products, and their Moisturizing Lip Balms are among the very best that I have ever tried. As a true lip balm fanatic, this is no small claim.

According to Surya Brasil,

Five delicious flavors that will take you to the Amazon forest, our lip balms are inspired by our commitment to organic ingredients and sustainably harvested rain forest botanicals. 

These nutrient rich, vegan lip treatments keep your lips soft, smooth and perfectly hydrated. Handcrafted with superior rainforest emollients, Surya Brasil lip balms nourish, replenish moisture and restore elasticity to your lips. 

So go ahead, show us that smile. You’re doing something great for your skin while supporting sustainable harvesting practices in one of our world’s perfect treasures, the Amazon Rainforest.

-All of their lip balms are free of gluten.

-All of their lip balms are certified vegan. Compared to many other eco-friendly their lip balms contain Candelilla Wax, which is a vegan alternative, instead of the more common ingredient Beeswax.

-All Surya Brasil lip balms are UV-protective. The lip balms containing Buriti and Cupuacu oil are naturally protective against ultraviolet radiation.

-Their lip balm packaging is made from recyclable plastics.

These unassuming little lip balms are unbelievably nourishing, emollient, hydrating, and delicious. Every single time that I use them I am utterly amazed by the condition of my lips- they are always so soft and supple after use, and they even appear slightly plumped after use. They are so comfortable on the lips, and make my lips feel so good that I often rub my lips together to experience the tactile effect of these sparkling little jewels. Each of the flavors tastes as one would expect based on their names, but each one tastes so good that it would be impossible for me to pick a favorite-- instead I choose which one that I will use each day based upon my mood.
