Honestly, this may just be the perfect lip balm. This all-natural peppermint lip balm goes on smooth, stays on, moisturizes like a boss, and the peppermint scent is just so dang refreshing and calming. While the coconut oil hydrates and softens, the beeswax seals in moisture and actively heals chapped lips from the inside out and protects from UV rays. It’ll be love at first swipe 💋

Each tube of natural lip balm measures about 2.75” x 0.75” and contains 0.3oz of lip balm — that’s about three times as much lip balm as standard plastic-packaged balms!
A note from Krystina: I’ve been using this lip balm multiple times a day for about a month now and it still looks essentially brand new. I never leave home without it! (My last tube of lip balm of this size and similar ingredients lasted me a full 12 months with several-times-daily use!)

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.
Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.
It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.
But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.
So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our natural peppermint lip balm so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:
- We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. Each year, we track and record all of our trash, and we wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: on average, we produce less than 0.5 pounds of trash each month. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
-
We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.

We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.
Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
