I've noticed that a lot of the male customers dig the earthy and grounding aromas of the above mentioned essential oils. Gotta give credit to my dude for the input!And Abigail, I am jealous! How amazing that would be to stand in one of those fields.... Definitely one of the places I want to visit!

I would prefer having them as a stick, too, but the little canisters are pretty if not completely sanitary.

Love the rose water suggestion. My husband is actually half- Bulgarian, and I know from spending time in Bulgaria that this is a secret beauty tip. I have even seen the fields where the roses are grown, and it is a feast for the eyes.We appreciate your and "kidlet"'s input.

Products that generally require you to stick your fingers in usually don't stay as fresh as those that are pumped out or are in stick form. I've noticed this especially from working at the bodycare department at a local health food store. Also, it is a possibility that the top can come off unknowingly in your purse, etc. and the contents can get contaminated- many customers and myself have experienced this with a particular brand of lip balm.Also, as far as sanitizing your hand goes, keeping a little bottle of rose water (preferably bulgarian rose) is great to sanitize your hands with- it's a singular ingredient that helps as a natural ph balancer and antibacterial agent as well as a great pick me up (spritz on the face, neck, wherever!) to feel refreshed throughout the day. Great for women as it also helps to balance out hormones.Geez, can you tell that I just got off work? :D I agree with abigail that the packaging is nice but I also agree with kidlet that that is not the most sanitary way to put on lip balm (with the fingers): I did not find a listing of ingredients to see what they use as a natural preservative to keep the product germ-free.

Not only are they gorgeous to look at, but they are totally convenient to open and close. I generally do not use any 'sanitizers', as I find them to be pretty unsanitary - and often not so eco-friendly.I love that one can also save the lip balm tins - collect them if you will, and in turn teach the next generation about some good old-fashioned packaging values. I think that all of the details have been well thought out with this environmentally sensitive product.- Abigail Dear ‘kidlet’:
