Vanilje-mynte leppepomade

The cardboard tube is a nice touch — no plastic to toss, and it still twists up fine. Shea butter keeps my lips soft for hours, and the vanilla sits underneath the mint instead of fighting it.

The peppermint hits first and then the vanilla softens it out, which I didn't expect to like as much as I do. Shea butter keeps my lips from feeling waxy and it lasts through a couple cups of coffee.

The peppermint hits right away but the vanilla rounds it out nicely, so it’s refreshing without being sharp. I also love that the tube is cardboard—it breaks down in my compost, which makes the shea butter feel even better.
