Battle of the Rose Balms


We’ve spotted it sitting in impulse-buy bins at the checkout Sephora, or in a similar location in Urban Outfitters. We all know someone who has it. And many of us keep it on hand. I've had a several-year relationship with my Rosebud Salve. It's outlasted a few romances and never lets me down. Plus, it comforts me during times of chapped lips, sunburned smiles and even ragged cuticles. In the search for all-natural counterparts to my biggest beauty addictions, I sought out a rose-scented balm without a petroleum base. Somewhere out there in the great wide world of salves, there indeed was a natural twin. And I found it!

Packaging
Plain and lacking pizzaz—but very practical. The simple white container has a top that spins right on, so it’ll stay secure in your make-up bag The vintage-inspired tin is decorated with roses and feels very apothecary and feminine. After rolling around the inside of my bag for a few weeks, my Prad abag got a dose of balm, too. So look out for loose lids.
