Introduction Blistex lip balm is a highly toxic skin care product. This product's official name is Blistex Lip Revitalizer. The parent company Blistex Ltd. is a Canadian operation with worldwide distribution through supermarkets and drugstores. Positives? There is nothing positive about this product according to the ingredient label. The Blistex lip balm does not meet any natural ingredient parameter. It is not certified organic and it uses synthetic chemicals that have been tested on animals. The company outsource's animal testers so as not to get their hands dirty. The fact that it is not certified organic - obviously - means that there is a possibility the product contains G.M.O - genetically modified organisms - and pesticides. Negatives The Blistex lip balm is literally a conveniently packaged poison stick for your lips. Many of the ingredients never even tested for safety according to the C.I.R. - Cosmetic Ingredient Review. The chemicals that are certified by the C.I.R have been tested on animals.
