Chap Stick - Page 2

I've found that the more I use any of those lip balms, the more I need it.

It seems to make them worse.

I haven't used Chapstick brand in a long time. Thanks for the rec @QVCkitty1. I can always use a little color on my lips.

@SilleeMee, I wear lipstick when I go out, but being retired, it's nice to have a little color, while making my lips feel better.

Ever since I tried the Givenchy rouge gloss, I can't use anything else. I just ordered my fourth one!

Prior to that always used Burt's Bees.

I used to use Av*n Flavor Savers, buying ten at a time. Then I read several reviews (about a year ago) stating that they changed the formula and it allegedly wasn't the same or as good, so I switched to Chap-Aid. Now I'm running out of that, so I'll take a chance and buy just one, just to make sure that the formula hasn't been changed. 'One never knows'........p.s.: I just wish that they would leave good formulas alone. A new employee at the top trying to make a mark (look good), I'm only guessing.

I never use Chap Stick brand as it is just petrolum that is flavored. That is not good to ingest. There are much better brands out there to choose from now that offer better quality of ingredients.
@SeaMaiden, I use CeraVe Healing ointment on my lips. The active ingredient is petroleum. It is absolutely safe. Like most topicals, you're not supposed to eat them, so I wouldn't spread it on a cracker for an appetizer.
@suzyQ3 It is most likely impossible not to ingest something on your lips... you would be surprised how much lip products women especially consume. Here is info on safety of lip product ingredients. Enjoy your lip balm!🙂

@SeaMaiden, I'm not a big fan of so-called natural or "green sites," especially when they just throw all this misinformation out.there and hope it sticks. You did notice that they gave zero support for their thoughts?

I do enjoy the healing ointment. :-)

@CelticCrafter, I recall reading about those who become almost addicted to Chapstick or lip balm in general.

@suzyQ3 @CelticCrafterSome ingredients make your lips feel initally nourished- but then dry your lips.

Whatever I use on my lips I want some kind of SPF protection. Knowing someone who has cancer on her lips removed any doubt that even the mouth needs protection.

@esmereldaI avoid chemical sunscreens - is there a lip balm with zinc & /or titanium dioxide only?

I found Palmers coconut oil formula with vitamin E at the dollar store. It has an SPF of 15 and no parabens also no animal testing. Smells good and feels good on.
