At Lippy Lu we choose to invest into adults with Intellectual Development Disabilities or I/DD because we think that we can be doing better as a society to make room for this underserved population. Here are some statistics that motivate us to make meaningful and long lasting changes in employment opportunities for those with I/DD. -The 2020 US Bureau of Labor Statistics found that 82.1% of persons with disabilities are unemployed. This was an increase from their 2016 study that show that 80% of persons with a developmental disability are unemployed or underemployed. -In the next decade, 707,000 to 1,116,000 will enter adulthood and age out of school based services. (Autism Speaks) -Nearly 1/2 of 25-year olds with autism have never held a paying job. (Autism Speaks) -More than half of young adults with autism remain unemployed and unenrolled in higher education in the two years after high school. This is a lower rate than that of young adults in other disability categories, including learning disabilities, intellectual disability or speech-language impairment. -Of the nearly 18,000 people with autism who used state-funded vocational rehabilitation programs in 2014, only 60 percent left the program with a job. Of these, 80 percent worked part-time at a median weekly rate of $160, putting them well below the poverty level. -Nearly half of 25-year-olds with autism have never held a paying job. -According to research, jobs that encourage independence reduce autism symptoms and increase daily living skills. -The cost of caring for autism reached $268 billion in 2015 and would rise to $461 billion by 2025 in the absence of more-effective interventions and support across the life span. -The majority of autism’s costs in the U.S. are for adult services – an estimated $175 to $196 billion a year, compared to $61 to $66 billion a year for children.

Lip balm made with shea butter, like ours, can sometimes have a grainy texture. Those grains are parts or molecules of the shea butter that cooled off faster than the rest. Welcome to synthetic-free skin care. Shea butter is made up different fatty acids. These fats each have different melting points. As the butter is exposed to temperature fluctuations, some of the fats melt and then re-crystallize at different rates which results in a sandy texture. This happens when balm is exposed to extreme temperature changes (like in your car or directly exposed to the elements). We recommend you keep your balm cool and at room temperature to avoid crystalizing. If this happens to your balm, rest assured that your lip balm is still effective and safe to use!

Oils and butters derived from nuts that we use in our facility include: coconut oil and shea nut butter.

Here is our best suggestion to removing lip balm from clothing: Soak clothing in boiling water with detergent. Repeat until the stain is removed. Set washing machine to high heat and wash with detergent.

All of our products are made from real natural ingredients including various honey, milks, fruits, nuts and butters. They are all best if used 6 months from purchase.

No, our beeswax is pure and has not been mixed with lanolin. We do not use lanolin in our lip balms.

There are some instances where people react to lip balm and most commonly it’s from: Propolis in the beeswax. Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees produce by mixing saliva and beeswax with exudate (substance secreted by plants) gathered from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. Sensitivity to peppermint or other essential oils.

Unfortunately, we're too small of a company to give out free samples of our products to everyone who requests them. We keep our prices affordable so our customers can try our products without breaking the bank.

We guarantee the quality and individuality of all our all natural products. As a result of the handmade nature of our products, many items will vary in color and/or size. You might notice variations from one order to the next. We do our best to provide the highest quality items, but variations do happen. Non processed beeswax can differ in color between lots and suppliers due the nature of the products. Rest assured that it's the same quality and same formula as the balm you've received before. We hold our handmade products in the most high esteem and we hope that you enjoy these variations as much as we do.
