This was purchased as a gift for my daughter-in-law who bought it locally while visiting and couldn't say enough good things about it. She has a lot of sensitivities and must be careful with any product she uses, and has had no difficulty with this lip balm. Incidentally the lip balm did not melt en route to Los Angeles in the heat of the summer. Also this company has the very best customer service I've ever encountered. I had contacted the company with questions before ordering, and they answered very quickly, and after I placed the order, the gift was in the mail within 4 hours!
Long lasting and soothing.
I like it a lot, but its slightly grainy. Smells heavenly.
I use this on my lips several times a day, all year round. Moisturizing without being glossy or sticky.
Best lip balm ever. Lips so smooth and taste so great!
works very well
I’ve been using this lip balm for years now and it is my go to every time. I love that the company is local and I totally support them.
This is my favorite lip balm I have ever tried. My Scandinavian heritage uses Cardamom in many things and the smell always gives me pleasant memories.
I've tried many lip balms over the years, and this is by far my favorite! It feels so healing and stays on for such a long time even after eating or drinking. I love it!
Used these lip balms as gifts for family during Thanksgiving visit. A very discriminating friend was pleased to receive it again.
I have purchased all flavors of this lip balm for almost two years now. This one is awesome.
This lip balm is silky and smells delicious, though the scent is mild.
Highly recommend.
Never have I found a lip balm with my favorite ingredient-cardamom! I bought one for me and one for each member of my southeast Asian family. Absolutely love this lip balm!
Hands down the BEST lip balm on this planet. I am a forever consumer of this amazing product and I am so grateful they have blessed this world with their perfect taste in lip care formulation. Please never go away!
Island Thyme's lip balm is THE BEST! The perfect balance of ingredients - not too greasy, not to waxy.
I travel to WA several times a year to visit family and I buy a bunch of these each trip. They are the perfect lip care, all year long!
I like this smell the most and the texture on m y lips helps with the cold weather and not getting chapped lips.
Smells amazing and is a wonderful texture! I don't usually use all my lip balm, but will definitely use all of this one :)
Hey Lily, thank you for leaving us such a sweet review!
smells insanely good love it
We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying our Cardamom Vanilla lip balm, Hanna! :)
This was a freebie included in my first Island Thyme order. The cardamom in this is identical to one of my favorite cardamom perfume oils so right away I'm a fan of the scent. This doesn't irritate my sensitive lips and it provides some necessary moisture. I've been using this since I opened my order. This has some longevity considering it's a lip balm. Yup, this is hitting all of the marks for me. I also snagged the lip balm gift set and if they're anything like this cardamom vanilla one then I'll be a repeat customer for sure. This is up there for the holy grail status of lip balms for me.
Thank you for your sweet review Melissa! We LOVE hearing from happy customers :) The cardamom vanilla lip balm is my favorite, too!
This lip balm is wonderful. It smells like a fresh cup of chai and is so moisturizing I don't feel the need to reapply all the time.
The best feeling and smelling and tasting lip balm ever!
I have tried so many brands of chapsticks on the market, yet none
emulates Island Thyme. All the Island Thyme scented chapsticks have an element of protection with a soothing seal while keeping the lips hydrated and healed. Thank u 💓
I use a CPAP every night with a full face mask. The circulating air flow causes chapped lips from time to time.
I’ve tried other brand name lip balms , they were to oily and greasy .
Island Thyme is very smooth and creamy , the blend of flavors with bees wax is perfect.
With my CPAP mask on , the smell is amazing inside the mask . I get the wonderful benefits of the lip balm , plus the add bonus of aromatherapy that is soothing and relaxing.
Thanks,
Sam
The cardamom brings me back to my Pakistani roots. The vanilla adds a creamy splendor. I look forward to applying it time & time again.
Love the texture, flavor and healing aspects of this perfect lip balm!
I picked up two lip balms on vacation at a grocery store on Vashon Island a summer ago...Vanilla Cardamom and Blackberry. I love the scent of them both and how soft they make my lips feel, I have sensitive skin and I always worry about putting something new on them...no worries with this product. I purchased a three pack of each of the scents that I fell in love with...
This flavor is incredable. I usually buy these from a local store which does not carry this one. I ordered some from the website and was very excited to try it. It does not disappointed. It is quickly becomming my favorite flavor and I have them all! I will be buying this one again and again.
This was my first time getting the Cardamom Vanilla and I don't know why I didn't try it sooner! It has a wonderfully warm aroma from the vanilla and the cardamom adds a slight earthy depth to this smooth lip balm. I will be purchasing many more in the future!!
I love this lip balm! As a person with chronically dry/chapped lips, this lip balm has worked better than anything I've used before. But it's not thick or gunky like a lip balm you'd use at night. I'll have to try some of the other scents!
I just stocked up on several different flavors of the Island Thyme lip balms. These are my favorite lip products! I love the scents and the natural ingredients. They apply smoothly and feel great on my lips. I haven't had any problems with chapped lips since using these regularly. I apply them every night before I go to bed, and every morning while I apply my makeup. All of the scents are wonderful, but Cardamom Vanilla and Mango are my favorites.
Every time I put it on its not only smooth and clear but smells so good. My babe is always saying how good I smell
Our Process
Nature's best
We start with the highest quality flowers, herbs, and medicinals. Some, like calendula, lavender, and cucumber, come from the Island Thyme farm. Others, like St. John's Wort, are wildcrafted in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. Others are sourced from around the world.
Time-tested recipes
All of our recipes have been developed in-house over the past 25+ years. Starting from skin-nourishing base ingredients like sweet almond oil and beeswax, we fine-tune the scent and texture.
Small batches
No industrial manufacturing here! In our commercial kitchen in the village of Eastsound on Orcas Island, our crew meticulously crafts each product in small batches for freshness and quality control.
Delivered to you
After labeling, products are ready for you, our amazingly loyal customers. Our shipping team boxes up online orders, stocks our two storefronts in Eastsound and Friday Harbor, and prepares shipments to our wholesale outlets, which include natural food stores and gift shops throughout the Pacific Northwest
