Best lip balm

<p>I recently burned my lips! As I am recovering, I’m looking for a great lip balm. I know I will also need something as winter is approaching. The thing I don’t want is a petroleum product. Anyone have a go to product they can’t live without?</p>

<p>I like all the Burt’s Bees lip balms. “Honey” might be best for soothing burned lips.</p>

<p>Chop Saver. It is actually for brass players, but it is terrific.</p>

<p>Calendula cream is good for healing, but I just use any old thing.

<p>Carmex is used by athletes in winter sports and has was the only thing that worked for me after long days in ice rinks!</p>

<p>I like Carmex too but it has petroleum.</p>

<p>I have two favorites. Burt’s Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm with Kokum Butter, about $4. Dr Hauschka Lip Care Stick, about $15. If I had to pick one I’d say Dr Hauschka’s is my favorite.</p>

<p>I’ve been using Chapstick since I was 15, and nothing else. I have a tube in my purse, the car, my nightstand drawer, my desk drawer at work, the desk upon which this computer sits (excuse me a second…), and on my side table in the family room. I have spares in my purse, at work, and several in the nightstand. </p>

<p>I used to know a guy who was similarly addicted. He was sent on business to Venezuela for 2 weeks, and didn’t take a spare with him. The first day there, he dropped his tube down a drain on the street and was unable to find a replacement at any store he checked. Two weeks without Chapstick! :eek:</p>

<p>I’ve liked Burt’s Bees but my kids say it burned so it might not be the best for burned lips. I received a l’occitane Shea lip balm and it is really nice. I also have a fresh sugar lip balm and oh my it is so soft and so nice. It’s expensive though, I received it as a gift. </p>

<p>When I was younger I wore Bonnie Bell lipsmakers, did anyone else have these in tons of flavors? I remember things like root beer float and strawberry.</p>

<p>Cocoa Butter. It’s not thick and pasty feeling like some lip balms. You can buy it in a stick just like other lip balms. I buy it at Walgreens. It feels great on your lips and smells good. too.</p>

<p>Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer. I buy it on Amazon in multiples, because it can be hard to find in drugstores. I have a stash at home at all times. It also has 15 SPF.</p>

<p>I use Sally Hansen lip treatments.
I used to love the pots of lip gloss, I think Bonne Bell & Yardley made them.
Ive used Dr Hauschka, but I often misplace the balm so I generally stick to one that arent more than $4, like kissmyface.</p>

<p>I use a lot of shea butter.</p>

<p>I like the Burt’s Bees grapefruit balm . Around $3 a tube, but places like Target sell it in 2 packs for a little less. Perfect blend of not too fruity, not too medicine tasting, and nice and smooth.</p>

<p>I like Softlips in vanilla, but I’m not sure if it’s petroleum based or not</p>

<p>I like Burts Bees too. There are different kinds, and not all of them have the “burn”. This one is good: [Burt's</a> Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter Ulta.com - Cosmetics, Fragrance, Salon and Beauty Gifts](<a href=“http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2450089]Burt’s”>http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2450089)</p>

<p>Carmax is the ONLY thing that works for me. I cannot wear lipstick at all , no matter what anyone claims is allergy free or moisturizing. I swear by Carmax for sun protection, cold protection and just winter chapping.</p>

<p>Dr. Dan’s lip balm is fantastic for healing. Though it might contain petroleum</p>

<p>I also recommend Neutrogena lip moisturizer. It can sometimes be hard to find, but I bought my last one at Ulta Cosmetic store.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the great replies. I will try the recommendations. I have been using Carmex ( cherry) and I do like it…I have just heard the dangers of petroleum products ( but I have probably done a lot of other things that are worse for my body). </p>

<p>I have also used Palmers Shea Butter ( looks like you’re putting a glue stick on your lips…haha) but it has not been as protective as the Carmex for my burned lips.</p>

<p>My lips are healing ( chemical burn caused by my dentist!). Now I am looking for something for the long term as my lips just aren’t as soft and moist as they used to be.</p>

<p>My husband was addicted to Chapstick so I am very wary…he was able to wean himself using the Palmers Cocoa Butter.</p>

<p>I don’t usually wear make up, but I like MAC. They have a conditioner and they have a conditioner and they had a balm.

<p>I don’t think they make the balm anymore.</p>
