Lush Times: We've got a special Christmas treat for our Canadian friends with our deliciously tasty Maple Taffy lip balm. Inspired by the tradition of tapping maple sap and making sweet candy treats from it, Helen thought we should create a moisturising balm using real maple syrup. The taste of this balm is unbelievably moreish. Mixed in with the syrup, we've added Japan and carnauba waxes with extra virgin coconut oil to form a moisturising layer on the lips and keep them safe from the nip of winter. Maple syrup is a good source of manganese and zinc. The syrup has a very distinctive flavour and there have been many attempts to make a similar synthetic flavour, but we prefer to use the natural maple syrup.
