Shea butter - the linchpin of eco-conscious bath and body products. Here's more of our Shea Butter Bests series.
Lip Balm
Shea butter-based balms are far superior to petroleum. The best I've found is Luxurious Lip Balm ($8) from EverythingShea. It's thick and stays on your lips for hours, for extra healing power. There are many different flavors, but more a treat for your nose than your tongue.
Lip Smacking Shea Lip Butters gets high marks for coming in a tube instead of a tub. It also softens for supple lips, but it's not quite as thick. Perfect for the mildly chapped and under lipstick. The price is right at only $3.
