By far the simplest thing you can do to green-ify your beauty routine? Replace all your lip balms (because I know you have more than one sitting in your makeup bag, coat pockets, and nightstand drawer) with natural lip balms instead. Unlike some other natural skincare or makeup products, most natural lip balms are (1) affordable, (2) easy to find, and (3) and won't mess with your existing routine, so making the switch is really NBD for you, but can mean a ton for the environment. Plus, there's something about slathering a product with natural ingredients, as opposed to synthetic ones, so close to your mouth that just feels right, you know? Ahead the 15 best natural lip balms to test out ASAP.

This is the perfect pre-bed lip mask IMO. Slather on the clean, natural formula before you go to sleep (it's made with sea succulent extract and hyaluronic acid to attract moisture and papaya enzymes to get rid of dead skin cells) and wake up to smoother, more hydrated lips in the morning.

Most natural lip balms aren't actually vegan—they use beeswax and/or honey in their formulas because of their moisturizing properties. So if you're looking to go the vegan (and cruelty-free) route, try this option from Bite Beauty. It's made with 100 percent plant-based ingredients and isn't tested on animals either.
