Keep the lips soft and smooth with Shelissa's Vanilla Bean Eco-Friendly Lip Balm. Not only is it green and made from olive oil, it smells like you've got the Sprinkles bakery on your lips.

Natives of harsher climes know well that lip-chapping is no joke: Once the arid chill gets its claws into your cracked, fissured maw, you're in a world of pain. For Mid-Atlantic types who are used to marinating in a steam bath of atmospheric humidity, winter's uncharacteristic dryness means reaching for the ol' stick of lip balm. Unlike commercial balms, which use petroleum jelly as a main ingredient, Clarksville's own Shelissa's Lip Balm Company relies on olive oil to get the soothing job done. Founded by model and Howard County native Shelissa Kemplin Kearney, the firm produces a line of natural, eco-friendly vegan lipsticks, from fruit-flavored "Little Lips" for kids to the he-manly "Lip Bomb," all fossil-fuel-free and fully equipped with SPF 15 sun protection to ward off the dreaded lip burn after a day on the sledding hill. How do they feel? Well, like lip balm: creamy and grease-free, with a little extra-virgin kick

WASHINGTON - And while you're preparing your little ones for the colder weather, don't forget to take care of their chapped lips and keep them healthy, and in turn, happy.

Shelissa's Little Lips for Kids is designed especially with rugrats in mind. The beeswax-based, olive oil, vitamin E and SPF 15 sun protection chapstick stays on through the snack times and more. Choose from grape, raspberry, orange or natural. The balms cost $3.99 a pop and are the perfect things to toss into the backpack or purse. And Shelissa's offers lip balms for the grown-ups as well. Lip Bomb and My Sexy Lips (Naturally Naked formula) are all-natural vegan lip balms, and Shelissa's Lip Butter comes in Peppermint or Vanilla Bean formulas, as does My Sexy Lips. My favorite was the peppermint-flavored My Sexy Lips. It went on smooth and stayed through my many Diet Coke sips.

The balm comes in four flavors -- Peppermint Patty, Spearmint Leaf SPF15, Naturally Naked and the popular Vanilla Bean.
