Lip balm and vegan opinions...

Okay I've got two things to share of interest.
1. I don't know how many people use that Lucas Paw Paw Ointment for lip balm and stuff but I just thought I'd let you know that it's not vegan! I thought it was (and so did all my vegan friends) but it turns out (after much research and quite a few phone calls to the company) that it contains bees wax (ugh...) and petroleum jelly (it's vegan but I don't want to rub petrol on my lips).
Anyways I've been searching for a vegan one that's available in most places and here's what I found and have bought and used today: http://www.purist.com/product.php?product=179 It's pretty good and is by A'kin.

2. Vegan opinions! We've all got them... Don't we? Well I saw a video that was REALLY good on vegan opinions today and thought I'd also share it with you. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9qdPbmQZb0 it's called "Sick of vegan opinions!" and is brilliant. Tell me what you think.

Thanks for the tip. My sister uses that Lucas Paw Paw one, and I don't think she'd give a damn about what's in it =(
I don't really use a lip balm.... I mainly wear lipsticks and if my lips are dry, cracked whatever, I use QV. Apparently it's not vegan??? I've been using it for years because of my dermititis.

I will check out that video.

I do like it, but I'd give it up. Then again, I'm a honey eating vegan, so the beezwax doesn't bother me so much.

I wonder if blistex is vegan... I haven't checked because I haven't bought any since I became vegan.

I pretty sure it's not (think I read it years ago), but let me know if I'm wrong!

Most Natio products are not Vegan and their lip balms contain beeswax and lanolin.

I like LUSH's lip balms. Quite a few are vegan, my favourites are Rose Lollipop and Key Lime Pie. They are amazing.

I've bought Cherry Brown lipsticks and lip balms which are made in Tasmania and all vegan, see  Cherrybrown.com.au. I used to be Tate's lip balm (Our Family Tate's miracle lip balm) but after checking out a blog about Our Family Tate's miracle hair conditioner, I'm not so sure that I'd trust what ingredients are in the lip balm and whether it is actually vegan.
