We agree with the largest drug retailing chain in the US, Walgreens, who says, “Your lips are one of the focal points of your face. They frame your smile and are unique to every individual on the planet. While they move every time you speak or smile, you may not think about your lips until they start to develop a problem like dryness, irritation or a sore. If your lips aren’t feeling or looking their best, Walgreens Lip Care Products offers a wide range of remedies to address lip care symptoms. With products like lip balm, cold sore treatments, and organic options, you can help soothe your lips and address unpleasant symptoms.” (Walgreens)
Lips that are dry or chapped are not the answer to any question! So here are my personal picks on lip balms all with SPF averaging 15 and totally cruelty-free.
- Palmer’s Cocoa Butter lip balm – vitamin E enriched, not too greasy or shiny
- Blistex Lip Medex – (blue pot), heals extremely chapped lips with cooling relief, also a great cold sore fighter
- Burt’s Bees lip balm – SPF 8, all-natural, no shine with coconut oil, pear extract, and shea butter, formulated to nourish and hydrate
Of course, there are others, find what works for you and let us know your favorite.
