After trying Zelens Lip Oil I started thinking about finding a cheaper alternative. I like a lot of Yes to Coconut's stuff and thought I'd give their lip oil a try.
Per Yes to Coconut's website: "An intense lip moisturizer that adds a natural shine. This lip oil provides long lasting nourishment, softness, and fits just about anywhere (talk about a triple threat!). This new lip oil will quench dry lips with decadent oils, that also cool while it moisturizes. Formulated with a plethora of oils: Virgin Coconut, Olive, and cooling Eucalyptus, your lips will be intensely moisturized and soft. Throw in an added hint of natural shine, and you will be ready for coconut kisses (under the sun!) 99% Natural Petroleum, SLS, & Paraben Free. Cruelty-free." The retail is $4.99 for 8ml.
The tube has a slanted applicator. It's clear, glossy, and somewhat sticky. This isn't a thin lip oil like Zelens. It feels more like a lip gloss. It's minty in scent and taste which I found a bit irritating to my lips. I didn't read the 'cooling' part of the title when I bought it. I thought it would be a coconut lip oil. But it's mint. I actually found it a bit drying after using it for a whole day. If I used it in-between other lip balms I didn't notice it as much. When I used only this, it became noticeable that it was drying. I didn't like the gloss like style, or the mint because it irritates and dries my lips out so it wasn't really moisturizing. The search continues for a cheap lip oil.
