    Nature Inspired Works began when Founder, Carolyn Booker, was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2013.  While losing her hair due to the RA medication, and determined to educate herself to beat this dibilitating condition, prayerfully she took her health into her own hands. Convinced that God had already placed everything she would ever need for healing in herbs, she managed to grow her hair despite the meds with herbal infusions free of synthetics, chemicals that suppress, hormone altering parabens (agents that mimic estrogen), phthalates (plasticizers), and even mineral oil (a petroleum product).

    Seeing effective results, this was a huge turning point. Believing in the power of nature, Carolyn then embraced life-giving herbs and began brewing her own folk tintures and herbal infusions to extract healing properties allowing her to take nature and put it in a format to use daily in many areas of her life…hence the name, Nature Inspired Works.

    Nature Inspired Works offers an aternative approach to treating yourself daily to plant derived, pure, natural, organic, certified organic and wild crafted ingredients in their made-to-order body care along with decorative shaped lotion bars, lip buttahs, lotions, and whipped buttahz for hair and skin.

    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are good reasons why you need some in your life

    Did you know that lips do not sweat? That’s because lips do not possess sweat glands. Sweat glands help moisturize the skin. Without them, lips dry out faster than any other part of the body. Time to balm up the right way with nourishing vitamins and minerals that protect against free radicals and dryness.

    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are 3 good reasons why you need some in your life.

    1. It nourishes on the cellular level
    2. Protects your skin from environmental pollutants and free radicals
    3. It’s extremely nourishing and has beneficial properties to soothe chapped, dry, flaky lips.

    Earthy hemp oil with a touch of either lavender, orange, peppermint or rosemary extract provides the ultimate moisturizing lip balm qualities without the added flavor. CBDMe offers 30 mg of broad spectrum, sustainably grown CBD, paired with certified organic hemp oil, Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa butter and coconut oil for an all-around lip experience.

    Benefits of CBD ME:

    • Hemp-derived CBD – the hemp-derived, broad-spectrum CBD extract is sustainably grown through regenerative agriculture practices and CO2 extracted in Oregon by Klersun.

    • Organic Hemp Seed Oil – The finest, cold-pressed Cannabis Sativa seed oil delivers a natural balance of essential fatty acids

    • Ultra soothing

    • Keeps moisture in

    • Nutrient-rich to protect lips

    Editorial Connection:

    • National CBD Day products
    • CBD lip balm
    • Best CBD Products
    • CBD Product Roundup
