How a professional trumpet player created an all-natural lip balm that is taking the music world by storm!One day, back in May of 2004, a friend and former trumpet student of mine, Wesley Bullock, told me how he treated a severe lip injury with an herb called arnica montana. That conversation changed my life forever. And the result will change your approach to lip care forever.
My name is Dan Gosling. I have been a professional trumpet player and teacher in the Midwest for over 20 years. I am all too familiar with the chapping, swelling and soreness that can strike your lips when you play a wind instrument – whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. After my conversation with Wes, it struck me that we musicians spend thousands of dollars on the best schooling, invest in the most expensive instruments, and buy all the high-end accessories we need to perform our best, but then, when it comes to lip care, we smear on something we find at the supermarket checkout. Or we go from store to store looking for something that just isn’t there.
I began to ask my self “Why are most lip balms hard and waxy or thick and gooey? Why do they so often smell and taste bad? Why do they use all those weird ingredients? Why isn’t there a product that actually makes your lips feel better after a hard day of playing?” I realized the only way to answer that was to create something myself.
Our kitchen became my laboratory. After several months of constant research and lots of trial and error, I finally had a formula worth sharing with my musical friends and colleagues. The response was overwhelmingly positive and I knew I was on to something. Everyone agreed that ChopSaver was more effective than anything they had ever tried. (To see what some of the finest players in the world say about ChopSaver, click here.)
Made of 100% natural ingredients, ChopSaver is a combination of shea butter, mango butter and other natural moisturizers. Its secret weapon is a mixture of herbs that promote healing and reduce swelling, chapping and soreness in a natural, gentle way. And the smell is clean yet not overpowering.
ChopSaver is now made in a state-of-the art, FDA approved, facility in order to make my “home brew” available worldwide for anyone who is looking for a better way to save their chops!
Now, more and more non-musicians are discovering the soothing benefits of ChopSaver including, I am very proud to say, doctors and their patients with lip related problems! To see what they say about ChopSaver, click here.
