these are the kinds of partnership that make some question his kashrus. If any of the major kashrus organizations had a founding CEO from Chovevei, people would be up in arms.

i doubt this flavor is kosher?
Amazon.com : Alba Botanica Un-Petroleum SPF 18 Vanilla Lip Balm, 0.15 Ounce : Lip Balms And Moisturizers : Beauty
kashrus orgs generally don't recommend flavored lip products. That said, company claims to be vegan other than beeswax
