A Calorie-Free Chocolate Treat

Seriously, is this stuff actually lip balm?
On a recent jaunt down Hayes Street in San Francisco, Heather picked up a tube of Ganache for Lips in a tiny boutique called jacqueline talbot. The lip balm, which is made using Scharffen Berger Unsweetened Chocolate, smells and tastes so good that she has been licking her lips like a lunatic ever since.
The products were first cooked up in May 2003 in the kitchen of owner Patricia West, who was recovering from treatment for breast cancer. West set to work on creating an all-natural, healing lip balm for herself and her friends using aromatherapy concepts she had employed as natural remedies for the side effects of chemotherapy.
Ganache for Lips makes nine amazing flavors, all of which are 100 percent natural and free of petroleum products. And whether you are a vanilla enthusiast, deep into chocolate or like to pucker up with a lemon-flavored lip balm, none of the company’s products are tested on animals.
Just in time for winter, the creamy salves will prevent chapping… that is, of course, if you are able to resist devouring the tubes.
