The Body Shop Foundation Dragonfruit Lip Butter

The Body Shop Foundation Dragonfruit Lip Butter ($6) is a fairly new launch wherein all profits from the sales of this Lip Butter go to one of three charities that you vote for. When you buy one of these lip butters in-store or online, you get to vote for a national charity and each charity will receive funding based on the number of votes.

Since it is loaded with Shea Butter, Beeswax and other emollients, this lip butter goes on thick but doesn't feel waxy. It does have a very strong, but beautiful flavor that I love. The scent tends to linger for a very long time. Shea Butter being one of the top ingredients, it feels very rich and takes a while to sink in. On my pigmented lips, it leaves a slight whitish cast, so I use it under a lipstick or during the night. You could wear it alone too as it tends to look glossy after a while. While it may not be the most moisturizing lip butters TBS has to offer, it does a good job softening lips when they aren't extremely dry.

Overall, more than anything else, I like the cause that this product was launched for and fully support The Body Shop Foundation's efforts and campgains. The Dragon Fruit Lip Butter is available only through October 28th.
