Product claims: Not all lip balms are created equal. Many lip balms use inexpensive petroleum products like petroleum jelly and mineral oil which actually dry out the skin over time and do not contain any of the beneficial nutrients of their plant-based counterparts. Most lip balms contain artificial and chemical ingredients, usually in the form of artificial flavors and colors. At Ganache for Lips, our products contain natural ingredients and are made in small lots, there may be slight variations in color and aroma from batch to batch.

Flavor tested: Chocolate Raspberry

Ganache for Lips tastes like my birthday! Every year my mom makes me “Katie’s Cake,” a chocolate layer cake with chocolate butter-cream frosting, raspberry preserves and chocolate ganache. This lip treat not only reminds me of good memories, but it is incredibly hydrating. This product moisturizes my lips better than most other balms and the line offers several other equally yummy flavors. It is priced a little higher than similar products, but the quality ingredients make it worth it.
