Review: Enfusia Bee Friendly Lip Balm SPF 15

I have often purchased lip balms at Whole Foods, but only recently did I start looking for a balm without beeswax.  It seemed over 90% of natural lip balms were made with beeswax.  Then I saw one by a Texas company called Enfusia.  Their "Bee Friendly" balm is completely vegan, containing no beeswax or honey.  The spearmint flavor is reviewed below.

Pros:
  • Soft texture
  • Easy to apply
  • SPF protection is handy when outdoors
  • Comes in a few flavors
  • Affordable ($3)
  • Made with organic ingredients
Cons:
  • No SPF-free version
Summary:
This "Bee Friendly" balm was a welcome sight in a sea of natural but non-vegan lip balms.  It was hydrating and lasted for a couple of hours.  I appreciate the SPF and variety of flavors.  However, I'd love to see a non-SPF version for those with allergies.  I'd also suggest further steps to make this even more natural, such as a recyclable tube and perhaps a gentler sunscreen (such as zinc).
