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.
