Today brings a quick post to recommend the Alba Botanica Alba Home Spa Kit, which comes with a great lip balm. The kit itself has some good products and is quite fun. I imagine that it would make a great gift. But in particular, as long as you are not adverse to the fragrance or taste of coconut, the Alba Coconut Cream Lip Balm that comes with this kit is amazing. The balm is made with all vegetarian ingredients and does not not contain petrolatum. It has a nice moisturizing feel that lasts for quite awhile. I really love this lip balm! I have seen the balm occasionally sold outside of the kit at CVS.
The downside of the balm is that it does not have SPF. Alba does also make Alba Botanica Lipcare, SPF 18, which I have not tried. But when it comes to lip balms with SPF, I also can’t rave enough about my all time favorite Banana Boat Aloe Vera with Vitamin E Sunscreen Lip Balm, SPF 30. I often pick that up at Target.
Update: The kit no longer contains the coconut lip balm! Here is a link for the balm sold separately: Alba Botanica Coconut Cream Lip Balm

just bought the lip balm — LOVE it.
would love to try it! packaging kinda reminds me of Burts Bees wax, no?
It does have a bit of a Burt’s Bees look to it. The lip balm has a similar consistency to Burt’s Bees as well (another balm that I love), but a different flavor with the coconut.
[…] a big fan of Alba Botanica products, especially their coconut cream natural lip balm (see Beauty and Fashion Tech review). So I had no issues spending my last few bucks of the week on an Alba Botanica […]
I like the spa kit but it isnt anything special, just my personal taste though
