Understanding Lip Balm Basics: What Is It?
Lip balm is a wax-based product designed to moisturize and protect delicate lip skin. Unlike regular chapsticks, our custom lip balms feature:
- Medical-grade emollients (shea butter, jojoba oil)
- Food-grade flavor oils
- UV-protective options (SPF 15 variant)
- pH-balanced formulas (3.5-4.5 to match natural lip chemistry)
Pro Tip: The average person licks their lips 6x/hour – our long-lasting formula resists saliva erosion.
The Myth: Can Lip Balm Cause Dependency?
Reality Check:
- ❌ Myth: Balms suppress natural moisture production
- ✅ Truth: Quality balms (like ours) repair moisture barriers with ceramides
Why the Confusion?
Cheap petroleum-based balms create an illusion of “addiction” by forming superficial seals. Our water-based formulas actively heal lips through:
- Humectants (glycerin) – attract moisture
- Occlusives (beeswax) – lock it in
- Nutritives (vitamin E) – repair damage
