Lip balm should protect your lips from chapping due to dry air or cold weather conditions. When your lips are chapped and dry don’t reach for store-bought products. Mineral oils and additives dry out the sensitive skin, temporarily soothing but in the end, resulting in the need for more and more product to keep lips luscious and moisturized. Combine soft and silky lip balm base with a variety of yummy flavors and create your own lip sensations.
