QUESTIONS REGARDING

What is Organic?

‘Organic’ refers to how food is produced. Organic food is produced by farmers whose production systems avoid the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. Organic farming systems utilize biological methods such as crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and tilth, to supply plant nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and other pests. All organic foods are required to be certified under an organic certification program. Organic farmers place a greater consideration of the impact of the farming system on the wider environment inclusive of wildlife conservation as well as public health. Organic agricultural practices hold great promise toward remedying the negative effects of global warming. Here’s four examples how: Use of farm-yard manure, green manures, and cover cropping methods keep soils nutrient-rich, improve soil structure, restore organic matter (making for quicker nutrient uptake), maintain and/or increases soil fertility, and increase soil moisture retention all of which enables the farming ecosystem to better self-regulate. The complete exclusion of synthetics in the farming operation (herbicide, pesticide, fertilizer, etc.) eliminates high-maintenance soils and crops, and subsequently lowers levels of CO2 and associated GHGs released into the atmosphere, while simultaneously lowering nitrate leaching rates and removing risks of ground and surface water pollution. With respect to usage of non-renewable energy resources, organic methods of agriculture use far less direct and indirect energy sources (fuel, oil and synthetic chemical applications respectively). Combating resource depletion, organic methods increase the biodiversity of flora and fauna, contribute to integrated pest management efforts (natural pest control), as well as shape aesthetic landscape values.

Solar Powered Lip Balm Project for Eco Lips
Small things can make a big difference!

A year ago we contacted our good friend Rich Dana who is with IRENEW (Iowa Renewable Energy Association) to help us add solar power to our manufacturing plant. This small initiative has turned into one of Iowa’s largest Solar Power Projects ever, getting immediate support from the State of Iowa, Alliant Energy, and the Department of Natural Resources. We are excited to be able to utilize the natural power of the sun and plan to keep you updated as to our progress. Thanks for your support!

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ECO LIP ORGANICS:

Why aren't your products 100% organic?
Some ingredients, such as vitamin E, aren't available in a certified organic form yet. As they become available, we will include them in our formulas.

What is the difference between “Natural” and “Organic”?
The term “organic” can only be used on products that are grown and produced without pesticides, and other harmful chemicals. Products that host the USDA Organic Seal are produced under the high standards set forth by the US Dept. of Agriculture. There is no legal definition of what the term “natural” means. Natural foods can include organic foods, but not all natural foods are organic. Look for products with the USDA Organic seal and you'll be making the right choice for your health and the environment.

What if my lip balm goes through the washer?
Here is our best suggestion to removing lip balm from clothing: Soak clothing in boiling water with detergent. Repeat until the stain is removed. Set washing machine to high heat and wash with detergent..

What's up with your solar power project?
We initiated Iowa 's largest solar power project in 2006. Once the State of Iowa became involved, along with our power company it rapidly took on a life of its own. We are currently working on plans for an even larger project.

What is the best lip balm for severely chapped lips?
Eco Lips Gold is best “all around” lip balm. It is designed for all day every day use, and formulated to rapidly heal chapped lips.

Do you test your products on animals?
We do not test our products on animals.

Which of your products are vegan?
Eco Lips Bee Free is made with a plant wax called Candelilla wax instead of bees wax.

How is your lip balm different from Burt's Bees?
The main difference is that Eco Lips is made with organic ingredients. Burt's Bees contains no organic ingredients.

IS THERE SOY IN THE VITAMIN E?
The answer to your question will be determined by the date on the bottom of the lip balm. Before February 8, 2010 our Vitamin E was soy bean derived. Any balm label on or after February 8, 2010 was made with vitamin E derived from sunflower.

Eco Lips Organics
In the early 1990s, Andrea Danielson began brewing small batches of natural lip balm in her kitchen for her friends and family. She took great care in handcrafting the balm and packaging it in small amber glass jars to preserve the freshness of the pure ingredients. Andrea didn’t realize that by giving a sample of her natural lip creation to Steve Shriver, her life would be changed forever. Having larger than average lips, Steve was continually searching for a better lip balm. When Steve met Andrea in 1995, he immediately fell in love with the lip balm, and moments later he also fell in love with Andrea. They were married in 1997 and Steve, a lifetime entrepreneur, quickly spent Andrea’s life savings on ingredients and packaging for the couple’s first product, Hemp Lip Buzz. By 2003, Steve and Andrea had built a specialized private label natural body care company focusing on making high quality products for many other successful brands. Their company rapidly became a leading natural body care manufacturer in the Natural Products industry. Much of the growth of their business was due to their top sales representative and entrepreneur, Jim King. Working out of his California office, he founded and grew a successful and environmentally friendly promotional products company called Access Eco. He enjoyed the process of building other peoples' brands through promotional products, but something was missing. Jim had a vision of creating a lip balm brand like no other. He became obsessed with lip balm! Jim looked at every lip care brand currently on the market, buying them, one by one, until he had acquired over 200 different samples. From petroleum-based lip care to natural brands, he packed all of these samples and flew to Iowa to meet with Steve about his dream. Jim and Steve spent hours mulling over a 10-foot conference table layered with what would soon become their competition in the lip balm industry. The goal was to create a brand image and an organic formula that would take market share from petroleum-based lip balm brands. Voilà! Eco Lips was born! Jim and Steve swiftly brought the product to market and began raising awareness of the importance of pesticide-free organic products. Today, Eco Lips organic lip balm is handcrafted in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. With the mission of satisfying the needs of every customer, Eco Lips has been first to market with several innovative organic lip care products and packages. With environmental initiatives in place, a focused marketing and sales strategy, award winning packaging, and a relaxed, yet productive work environment, Eco Lips is making its way around the world, one set of lips at a time.
