EOS
EOS (Evolution of Smooth) launched in 2009 and quickly became one of the best-selling lip balm brands in the United States, largely due to its distinctive spherical packaging and social media-friendly branding. The brand markets itself as using natural and organic ingredients, and some of its products are USDA Organic certified. However, EOS faced a class-action lawsuit in 2016 from consumers who claimed the lip balm caused severe blistering, cracking, and rashes, raising questions about ingredient safety even in products marketed as natural. While EOS reformulated some products in response, the incident highlighted how 'natural' labeling does not always guarantee safety for all users.
