Not all lip balm products are created equal. Many lip balms are poured from 20 liter pails of stock product purchased in various flavours. They are then labeled and sold as promo lip balms or private label lip balms. The formula for Tropikiss™, as with all of the skin care products that we offer, was carefully developed by a professional with years of experience in herbology, biology, research and development and formulation. Each and every ingredient is carefully calculated for maximum positive results, a process which can take months.
Tropikiss™ is a premium Hemp lip balm, created and blended with 8 of the very finest skin healing and protecting natural ingredients, in an Organic Hempseed oil base. It genuinely soothes and heals your lips, and thanks to its remarkably resilient formula, each application will last longer than just one kiss. In fact, one application of Tropikiss can last for hours!
Lots of lip balms are full of water, petroleum, alcohol byproducts (which actually dry out your lips) Some chemical sun blocks, we're now learning might cause cancer instead of prevent it! Tropikiss, on the other hand, is made from pure, natural ingredients, and the finest tropical oils purchased ONLY from reputed and carefully selected vendors. We use organic ingredients when and if available and as we progress we will of course transition. Serf to Surf also purchases and adheres to fair trade practices because, well ... it's just the right thing to do!
Hempseed oil acts as a natural +/- 3 SPF, plus, each Tropikiss™ is packed with more than twice the quantity of the average twist lip balm container, so you get a lot more kiss per buck, plus it comes in a cool reusable, collectable, slide top tin. We now also offer tubes for those who prefer this application method.

Why don't you make SPF 15 or SPF 30 lip balm?
Hmmm ...well, let's see. If exposing your lips to the sun will dramatically increase your chances of getting cancer of the lips then why are there not an increased number of cases of cancer of the lips in equatorial countries? In over 20 years of traveling and living in equatorial regions world wide and during my 53 years on this planet I have never heard of nor have I met ANYONE with lip cancer attributed to not using an SPF 15 or 30 lip balm, have you?.
You don't think the pharmaceuticals are just trying to sell you more crap do you? Nahhh, couldn't be.
You must decide what is best for you and your children. Over exposure to the sun is the main problem and this is certainly preventable with a hat or garment. Skin type is also a relevant factor. Whatever you decide, EDUCATE yourselves so you can make an informed decision and DON'T believe everything you hear.
The above statement is the opinion of Carlos only and is not intended to be medical advice. Consult your doctor, do some research and most importantly use some common sense in the sun for you and your kids!
