Three things to know about chocolate: Buying organic or fair trade chocolate ensures you are not contributing to child slavery and unfair labor practices . Mainstream chocolate makers haven’t quite caught up with fair trade sourcing yet (although some progress is being made ). You can savor the taste and smell of organic chocolate all day long with Eco Lips’ new line of Dagoba organic chocolate lip balms. I’m not big on flavored lip products, but as an advocate for fair trade and organic chocolate, I felt compelled to report on this important new development (ahem) in the world of chocolate lip balms. Eco Lips , a company known for its certified organic lip balms, has collaborated with Dagoba Organic Chocolate to create three lip balms that soothe your lips with organic ingredients while soothing your senses with the taste and smell of chocolate. Organic cocoa in your lip balm? If that sounds a little odd to you, you’re not alone. The new balms are a little too sweet for my own taste, personally—but the rest of my family thinks the review samples we tried are just fine, thank you very much. And there’s no denying these balms moisturize and heal chapped lips like champs. The new line comes in three flavors: roseberry (raspberry, rosehips and dark chocolate—my personal favorite and the most chocolatey); mint (a brisk mix of mint, rosemary and dark chocolate); and lavender (lavender, blueberry and dark chocolate). One of them will surely be the balm for your chocolate-craving soul—and lips. (Photo credit: Eco Lips ) Glossary: Organic , Fair trade , Fair wage , Sustainable
