Lake Ontario Lip Balm: Pocket-Size Frankincense for Cold, Dry Days
Save
Our Lavender Lake Ontario Lip Balm is a little touch of luxury that fits in your pocket. It pairs lavender with warm frankincense and glides on smooth to keep lips comfortable on cold, dry days, when the wind outside and the furnace inside seem to be working together against you.
The most grown-up balm in the set
Among the five Great Lakes balms, Ontario is the polished one. Frankincense is a resin with a warm, softly sweet, slightly woody scent, and lavender lightens it with a floral note. It does not smell like candy or a forest. It smells like the quiet corner of a nice shop. If you usually find scented lip balms a bit juvenile, start here.
Cold, dry day survival
- Before you head out: a swipe before stepping into the cold.
- At your desk: office heat is drier than you think.
- Before bed: a last layer while you sleep with the furnace running.
- On flights and long drives: cabin air is famously dry.
Keep the tube in an inside pocket in deep winter. A balm left in a frozen car feels stiff until it warms up.
