Green Beaver Company

When it comes to finding certified organic products right here in Canada, make sure to check out the Green Beaver Company. The company is headed by a Husband and Wife team, both of whom have science degrees and backgrounds in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The birth of their son was their inspiration to develop safe and natural personal care products, having seen firsthand the dangerous chemicals and harsh ingredients and preservatives in other personal care products. So, they took matters into their own hands and developed natural products which they not only felt confident for using on their own son – but ones which others could give other parents peace of mind.

The Green Beaver Company is home to cleaners, moisturizers, lotions, soaps, balms, creams, shampoos, toothpastes and more. In short, you’ll find any personal care product at the Green Beaver Company – for members of the entire family. For review, I was sent a variety of their Lip Shimmers, which is perfect for myself as I have a life-long love for lip balms. I always have a lip balm on hand, and am always wearing it, day or night. To protect my lips during our harsh Canadian winters or for sun protection in the summer – my top choice for lip products is always a balm. And, I was very impressed with the Lip Shimmers from Green Beaver Company, at very first application. This balm is remarkably different than all the others which I have tried. For one, my lips feel so unbelievably soft when I apply it, just like velvet.

Now, we all have a tendency to lick our lips and taste such products when they are on our lips – so it’s crucial that they be made from the safest ingredients. Lip Shimmers are certified organic, vegan, gluten and peppermint free {so there’s no burning feeling for chapped lips}. They include all natural ingredients, a few being Vitamin E Canadian-grown carrot and cranberry seed extracts.

They are rich in vitamin E and carotenoids, providing long lasting moisturizing. As well, the cranberry smells great and has a very pleasant taste. Lip Shimmers come in 5 fantastic shades and a colorless one. Since I received them all, I got to try all the colors, and they range from pale pink to a bordeaux color. So, for those that love the look of a dark lipstick, you can have your color and your moisturizing balm too. Which is nice, since part of the reason why I prefer balms is becasue lipsticks dry out my lips so much. So, I adore Lip Shimmers for being an all-in-one product that is as good for the health of my lips as it is for the body,
and the earth!

Customers can order online, or the Green Beaver website has a full listing of retailers across Canada. I know I’ll want more Lip Shimmers one day {and stock up for stocking stuffers}, so I was happy to see that there is a retailer in my very own city! This makes it so very easy to support a Canadian company that uses all-natural Canadian ingredients!
