Since I don’t really have long reviews for either of these products, I figured I’d combine them into one review. They are really simple products, and they are just body care, so you can only go on for so long about the nuances of such products since there’s no real visible outcome as their is with cosmetics 
The first product review is for a lip balm that is meant mostly as a protective emollient against the sun’s rays, for those days at the beach or when you’re on vacation in a sunny destination and walking around in the sun a lot. It’s by Pharmaca, that company I had talked about previously that my mom and I explored in depth when we were vacationing in Berkeley California to see my sister. It’s a natural products shop, and it has all kinds of nutritional and treatment supplements based on herbs and naturopathy, and it also has all kinds of natural beauty and self care products that are based in a non chemical formulation.
If you’re aiming to go more natural, this place was like heaven for you to shop in. One of the products I found there was a small lip balm stick, just the size of a chapstick, called ginger SPF lip balm. It was pure white, so you could see that it had zinc in it to protect your lips, but it also had soothing ginger in it which also happened to smell great if you like those kinds of more earthy scents like I do. It wasn’t the best as far as moisturization goes, since the zinc in it made it too hard to rub off on the lips, but it was a great sun protection factor for your lips. They didn’t burn or get chapped at all when I was in the sun all day.
The second review is for Body Shop Vitamin E body butter. There’s really not much to say about this product. It’s highly emollient, and it’s actually light enough to absorb into your skin. Overall, I wans’t impressed by the laundry list of chemicals I found in the ingredients, and I won’t be buying it again as I thought they tried to base their products mostly on natural ingredients. Oh well, I’ll probably still use it here and there for heavy moisturization needs, it was my free gift with purchase after all.
