Kiss My Face Treat Mint SPF15 Lip Balm
Tuesday, 28 July 2009
I was quite surprised to find Kiss My Face products at Vitakids, a place which I get vitamin supplies for my kid. Kiss My Face is a range of natural beauty products from US and I saw a small selection at the Paragon outlet comprising of cleansers and lotions. I decided to try out their Treat Mint SPF15 Organic Lip Balm. It retails for S$8.20 but as a member, I received a 10% discount.
Strong minty flavor
Mint flavor is not exactly my favorite and this one is quite strong! My lips felt an instant enlivening zing upon application but the feeling subsided quickly and the mint flavor lingers on but no longer bothers me. I like the fact that this lip balm contains 72% organic ingredients and is an SPF 15! Actually, it’s very close to Eco Lips Organic Lip Balm with SPF15 that I’ve reviewed before.
Softening and antioxidant properties
Kiss My Face SPF15 Organic Beeswax is described as skin softening with antioxidant properties. It also contain Echinacea Purpurea, which is anti-inflammatory amd Goldenseal: anti-bacterial. The ingredients are not totally natural though, especially considering the active ingredients used. In fact, I purchased it thinking that this lip balm only uses titanium dioxide to provide the sun protection.
Ingredients listing
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:Octinoxate 7.5%, Oxybenzone 4%
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS:Canola Oil*, Beeswax**, Lecithin*, Beeswax, Cocos Nucifera Oil*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Menthol, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Camphor, Tocopherol, Styrax Benzoin Resin Extract
Summary
Overall, I do like this lip balm in spite of the minty flavor. While it’s not as sweet as something like berry, it’s still pleasant and more importantly, the lip balm does soothe my lips and keep it moisturized The price point is not too bad so it’s definitely something to consider if you’re looking for an affordable natural lip balm which offers SPF protection.

*screaaaam*
Wow! I’ve always heard good review about Kiss My Face products and has been itching to try it for a year, but so far still too lazy to order it online. I can’t believe now they’re available in Singapore!
Thank you for the info!
For me I’m okay with not-100% natural product, as long as it’s safe to use, provie result and don’t test on animal! I’m trying my best to use only cruelty-free products.

I was surprised too. I’ve been receiving lots of press releases on the product and that piqued my interest in the brand. But it’s really a small selection available here. I guess they’re testing the market first.

Hi!
I myself love mint flavored lipglosses, the cooler the feel the better! You had me interested in this product but I don’t think it’s available in the Philippines yet
For now I use Alba Terra Tints 70% organic. I love it because it’s tinted a light reddish hue and its pretty minty!

Ah, we don’t have Alba Terra products here I think…or at least I haven’t seen them. So that makes us equal.

Hi, I was just wondering if you have seen Mentholatum Lip Pure Lip Balm at Watsons? It is $7.90, and touts 100% food grade ingredients. It is the first time I see food grade ingredients on cosmetic stuff. Not sure if I can believe it or not. I’ve bought it, and so far I like it. I am just worried that I will get cheated into believing whatever they say.

I haven’t checked this one out. It’s new right? I had a quick look at the ingredient and except for the last 2, seems that all others are natural oils.
