Lavendar Earl Grey Lip Butter

no tox life

Made in Austin, TX

Product Details

Lavender Earl Grey Lip Butter

This herbal and citrus essential oil blend, packaged in a zero-waste paperboard tube with a hint of sweet.

Now you can always have lip butter in your pocket, everywhere you go! Their formula is packed with moisturizing organic cocoa butter and avocado oil. They also use wildcrafted plant wax instead of beeswax, so it’s completely vegan.

Why do they call it lip butter instead of lip balm or chapstick? Well, lip balm generally found in stores is oily and comes off within an hour or two. Their lip butter is made with nourishing, premium cocoa butter that will stay on your lips for an extended period (it lasts 4-8 hours on the lips). Their product feels like a rich butter and has a matte finish.

Ingredients: wildcrafted candelilla wax (plant wax), organic cocoa butter, organic coconut oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, lavender essential oil, bergamot essential oil, organic stevia leaf

Size: This waste-conscious paperboard tube is 0.3 oz, about two times bigger than a typical lip balm size. It should last for several months to a year (or longer).

Use & Care

Shelf life: This product is most fresh when used within 18 months of purchase. Best stored in a cool place to keep it fresher longer. 

Storage: As with any natural product, do not leave it in your car or directly in the hot sun to melt in the heat. It could melt and spill if it gets REALLY hot, and the constant heating and cooling will reduce its freshness. Under normal summer temperatures and shipping it does not typically melt.

End of life: Compost the recycled paper tube and black bamboo tape.

About the Founders
Meet Sandee Ferman and Callie Milford – a mother-daughter team.
Sandee got interested in living a non-toxic lifestyle many decades ago. As a little girl, she experienced a bad reaction to the ingredients in a perfume that left red welts on her skin. So as a teenager, she participated in the first annual Earth Day has been excited about living a natural lifestyle.

In 2013, Sandee started experimenting with making soap and other bath & body products, doing hundreds of hours of testing and learning. Soapmaking and cosmetics formulation merged her passions, math, science, and art. Initially, she gave products as gifts for friends and family, with great feedback.

After heading to her local grocery store one day and reading the “natural” shampoo ingredients, she realized that it was full of harsh, drying detergents that were causing her scalp issues. The idea of No Tox Life was born – helping people switch to a genuinely non-toxic lifestyle.

In addition to being a certified woman-owned small business, No Tox Life is also a family business.

Sandee’s daughter Callie Milford is No Tox Life’s co-founder and creative director. She designs & formulates new products (along with Sandee), directs the brand’s look, and manages sales to the hundreds of independent grocery stores, zero waste stores, and lifestyle stores carrying the line.

About the Company

No Tox Life was born from the desire to provide effective, vegan body and home care to help you live a cleaner, greener lifestyle. They are a local, family-run business.

No Tox Life products are manufactured personally by the founders. They also carry some other brands in their store by other local makers. For some products, like wooden accessories, the founders collaborate with responsible manufacturers to design and create items they use and love.

Each formula is devised from scratch using high-quality ingredients and made in small batches to assure superior quality and fresh ingredients in every product. Often this means the final product costs more than typical drugstore products. In addition, all products are made with skin-nourishing ingredients without unnecessary “fillers” including excess water, so that each product will last long.

All products we both make and sell are 100% vegan, and they never test on animals, nor do they ever plan to. They also don’t sell to countries like China that require animal testing.

About the Founder

Making paper is a meditative process for the founder and creator, Rocky Lawton. He finds there’s something very relaxing to the straightforward, repetitive process. The result of having a crisp, clean sheet of paper brings to mind for him endless possibilities. Anything that may have been upsetting or stressful before melts away after he opens up a whole world of opportunities with that one simple sheet of paper.
Making paper takes much more time and requires more equipment than just opening a package of commercial documents. You can even buy commercial recycled papers now if you’re worried about the environment. But what you can’t get from all those brightly colored, smooth, textured, thin, thick, and even eco-friendly papers is the human element.
Rocky finds great joy in connecting to a vast web of strangers and friends through his paper. For him, making paper is a time-consuming, repetitive, very relaxing process. However, he finds great satisfaction in taking unwanted office paper, school notes, and household waste papers that have served their purpose and are at the end of their life, saving them from the trash. He envisions his mission as giving those papers a rebirth, bringing them back at the start of a new journey. They still contain the knowledge from their past life as a grocery list or term paper, but it’s all chopped up and no longer readable. So now they are given a second life as a new sheet of paper for someone to write a love note on, write the next great novel on, send a heartfelt card, or draw a stunning picture. The possibilities indeed are endless.
While there are many hand paper-makers worldwide, White Dragon Paper is unique in its goal of providing high-quality handmade papers made from 100% recycled materials in both individual and wholesale volumes.

About the Company

Rocky Lawton is a single owner/operator who makes handmade paper from recycled and waste materials.

It all started one summer when Rocky Lawton got bored and found a “How to” article about making paper. Soon enough, the fresh sheets began taking over his shelves. He hated to see them recycled just when they had been given a rebirth into new sheets of paper, and he couldn’t use them quickly enough by myself. So he started his Etsy shop thinking maybe someone, somewhere, would have a use for them.

It’s been a few years, and a LOT has changed, but he still loves making paper the same as when it was a hobby in his basement.

White Dragon Paper has become a significant source for high-quality handmade papers for US and international artists, writers, Do It Yourselfers, and crafters. The company caters to both the small-batch crafter or artist and to the large-scale printer or designer that needs a steady wholesale supplier to continue their work. White Dragon Paper prides itself on using recycled, eco-friendly fiber and reducing the amount of paper waste that goes into landfills each year.

White Dragon Paper gives back to the community by volunteering, donating time, supplies, or money as able/needed, and supporting other small businesses and local artists.

About the Founder

The founder of The Cleaner Soul is Amanda Leibowitz, aka your Cleaner With Benefits. She’s always been a “clean freak”, even more so once she had children. However, upon learning that she was subjecting her family to serious, long-term health risks as a result of the harmful, toxic chemical products she was bringing into her home, she knew there had to be a better way. After experimenting, she found a 100% all-natural formula that worked better than before, and with the addition of pure organic essential oils, smelled fresh and fantastic. Formulated by a natural biochemist, their all-purpose cleaners are not only fragranced with essential oils that are suitable for any surface that can get wet, but they also remove bacteria, dirt, and grime safely without endangering you or your family’s health. Pick the aroma to match your mood and clean happily, with a peace of mind and soul.
