All of the Lip Moisturizers that Tropical Traditions offers are made with organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Virgin Palm Oil, and organic beeswax. Since this skin care product is meant to be used on the mouth, all the ingredients are edible and certified organic. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils. Virgin Palm Oil contains high concentrations of a powerful form of Vitamin E called -tocotrienols - which published research has shown is 40–60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol (the most common form of Vitamin E found as an additive in most skin care products.) In addition to these powerful Vitamin E tocotrienols, Virgin Palm Oil is also rich in natural carotenes. It is one of the richest natural plant sources of carotenes with concentrations of 500–700 ppm. It is 15 times more retinol-equivalent than carrots and 300 times more than tomatoes, for example.
