Who likes chapped lips? No one! So we buy whatever we can without really giving any consideration (or at least much consideration) to the active ingredients within. Lip Balms give comfort, and can make dry parched lips even drier. That's because most commercial brands are 75% bees wax which makes lips even drier. In other words dehydrating enough that you want to re-apply (you want that soothing feeling over and over) but every time you apply it you dehydrate your lips even more. It may feel soothing on chapped lips but it most likely creating those pesky lip lines
Winter brings the cold and damp which make things worse. Summer is no better with the hot sun beating down and making you want to lick your lips for moisture. Your balm may promise relief but what you are paying for may not be helping the situation.
Lip balms that contain Humectants such as Hyaluronic Acid or Glycerin and Bees Wax that make already dry lips worse says Dermatologist Leslie Bauman. M/D. They actually pull the moisture from your skin.
Then there are Cermaides that hold skin together to form a protective layer helping to prevent moisture loss and damage from cold, dry, and other environmental stressors. Ceramide also help to keep your skin supple. All the oils we use contain these as well.
We have developed a recipe that leaves your lips soothed and supple without have to re-apply over and over. We refer to it as "Lip Smoothie" NOT Lip Balm! The little glass tub will last for months and months since very little is needed. You may use a q-tip or a clean finger to apply. Can go under or ever your lipstick as well.
