It is Outdoor Season here in Montana! After months of being stuck inside, the sun comes out and we all run out of our houses to embrace the warmth. What typically happens after that first warm sunny day is that all of us feel a little heat and sun stroked. This is exactly what happened to our staff last weekend. Baseball games, and family get-togethers, lawn care and hikes left us with sensitive skin, turned pink from too much of a good thing.

As we get closer to Summer, we would like to share some of our staff's favorite products. Ones that will help you combat some of the beautiful, but harsh weather.

First, our CAN NOT DO WITHOUT!

Our Environmental Barrier Lip Balm w/ Lysine + Zinc Oxide is always at the top of our must have lists. Here at Kettle Care, we formulate products that solve problems. They protect your skin from the weather, from dehydration, from redness and irritation. When we created this product, our question to ourselves was...

“What lip product would we create if we could only carry ONE?”

Our guys pointed out that they don’t use lip balm, unless their lips were shredded. We thought, OK, let’s start with a healing oil saturation. We chose Calendula, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, and Comfrey, botanicals powerful enough to soothe even the most shredded lips. We added L-lysine to fend off cold sores, Neem to prevent bacterial issues, Melissa to fend off viral issues, and Lemon Balm and Zinc to shield our lips from the sun and wind.

It sounded perfect. Yet, we wanted something extra, the cherry on top of this all-purpose lip balm. We added refreshing Peppermint essential oil to promote circulation and draw the balm deeper into our lips.

Our Environmental Barrier Lip Balm was born. The long name seemed appropriate for this complex, all-purpose formula. We started calling the balm our “ONE and ONLY” and carried it with us everywhere we went.

Most customers buy multiples. One for the purse, one for their bedside table, one for the car, so they have it everywhere they go. And every time we see one in the wild, we get a deep sense of pride, knowing that we have helped one more set of lips feel fabulous and refreshed.

Try it once, and you’ll never use another lip balm!
