EOS Marine Collection 2 Pack, $8.78
What It Does for You: No matter if you're battling hot, humid temperatures in Miami or testing your chops on the slopes in Colorado, it's important to give a little extra TLC to your lips. That being said, not all balms are made with healthy ingredients and can actually cause breakouts around your mouth if you have sensitive skin. This beloved brand features 100-percent natural, certified organic ingredients. With marine botanicals, the soft application is a nice bonus, too.

What It Does for the Planet: At the core of this brand is a dedication to only using natural ingredients in an effort to preserve the earth's wonders. For this specific two-pack, the brand partnered with an ocean-health nonprofit, Sustainable Surf. Every purchase supports the charity's "Waste to Waves" program, which helps turn waste into a resource by using the cash to clean out plastic in our seas and landfills.
