Let\'s talk carrots. Purple carrots! Their unique color reflects anthocyanins; the prominent colourant (flavonoid) responsible for the red, purple, and blue hues found in fruits, vegetables and flowers. In the body anthocyanins have demonstrated amazing abilities to protect against disease. On lips, they give a sheer berry tint. Beautiful hued purple carrot extract is blended with omega fatty acid rich echium seed oil and bestowed with a tart, delectable raspberry flavor. You\'re welcome. 100% plant based color = no iron oxides (metal), carmine (cochineal insect) or d&c lake dyes (petroleum). *The tint of the Echium Raspberry Balm can vary in colour. Although we craft each batch with precision and aim to make every balm the \'same,\' please know that our plant inclusion strengths will vary based on seasonal growing fluctuations & is somewhat expected when using 100% plant based ingredients. made with organic, vegan, & raw ingredients
