PRODUCT Q&A What benefits do Lip Smackers have? In addition to their delicious taste and great smell, Lip Smackers have an effective conditioning formula. The multiple moisturizers and special emollients keep your lips soft, shiny and moist, as they help prevent and guard against dry, chapped and cracked lips. What are Lip Smackers made of? Beeswax - A natural purified wax obtained from the honeycomb of the bee, Apis Mellifera. This ingredient gives the LiP SMACKER balm some of its rigidity and tack by providing a gel like structure. Flavor/Fragrance – Our flavors are specially designed for our products. They are comprised of both natural and artificial ingredients, all of which are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) for use in cosmetic and food products. These ingredients give Lip Smackers the best flavors forever. Polybutene - Provides lip balm with ‘tack’ and increases the wear time on the lips. Does Lip Smacker test on animals? WE DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS nor do any of the materials we buy have tests performed on animals. LiP SMACKER does not use animal testing, either in-house or through outside contractors, for any safety or efficacy evaluations of our products. Where are Lip Smackers made? All Lip Smacker balms and glosses are proudly made in the USA. Lip Smacker uses a variety of contract “taste makers” to assist in formulation. We continue to engage the same exceptional contract taste makers that have been used for over 40 years to ensure flavor and feel consistency.
