Alba Botanica Hawaiian Coconut Cream Lip Balm Review

Hello friends,

How are you doing today? I am back again to share another natural lip treat with you all from Alba Botanica which is famous for its organic natural ingredients! This was an impulse purchase which turned out so great that I had to re-stock it for everyone at home and myself as well.

I am so impressed to see that it is approximately 82% natural or at least, the ingredients are naturally derived which certainly makes a difference on my sensitive lips. So, let’s read on further to know more about Alba Botanica Hawaiian Coconut Cream Lip Balm today!

My Experience with Alba Botanica Hawaiian Coconut Cream Lip Balm:

This is my first Alba Botanica lip product and I am quite hopeful to continue with it in future. The balm comes in a usual retractable bullet packaging, just like any usual lip balm would, with a safety cap. It has a heavenly coconut smell and flavor, both too mild to bother my senses. I like the cute, travel friendly packaging which will easily slip inside my hand clutch or even coin purse. However, after several uses, the bullet refused to retract back and I had to apply pressure in order to retract back the product inside packaging which could get messy at times.

Talking about the product, it is a transparent white balm with soft buttery texture. It easily melts on my lips. It leaves a shiny glossy layer that stays put for good 3-4 hours which melts onto skin and makes it moisturized and supple.

I usually wear it alone at home. But, I love to apply it beneath my deep matte stains/lip colors for soft healthy lips and it does its work perfectly with no issues so far. It is rich enough to provide intense hydration to my lips for decent hours. It is a non-sticky, non-greasy balm which does not cause any bleeding on my lips, even with matte stains or lipsticks. In fact, it helps to make them stay put without making lips dry for decent hours.

I feel that since it is naturally formulated, it keeps my lips more soft, supple and healthier than ever before. I never suffer flaky dry lips, even if I skip it for a day or two which explains how moist & rich it could be on our dry skin. However, we have to wait a little in order to see definite results on severe dry, parched lips.

Even if it is not packed with any SPF protection, I can see that it prevents darkening of my lips. The balm feels light on the lips, but I need to re-apply balm every 5-6 hours for prolong soft pink lips as it tends to fade after lunch/dinner or several tea/water breaks.

Despite all this, I am happy that it is not delivering any harmful chemicals like Parabens, SLS etc onto my lips or skin. I am quite happy with this lip balm as I usually need a good hydrating treatment for my lips and it works really well in that aspect. Hence, I would always prefer it over Aveeno or Burt’s Bees. I wish it had SPF protection to make it my HG lip product. I would whole heartedly recommend this to everyone. It is great for every skin type, though severe dry, chapped lips might need patience to notice results.
