Here's the low down on lip balms I recommend and the ones I don't.
First, the standouts:
1. Skin Organics Premium Coffee Berry with Hemp Oil: This is my favorite formula. I don't care for the glue smell it has, but it's a great product.
2. Laura Kopec's Natural Healing Salve: This comes in a jar. Hopefully we'll see it in a stick or pot sometime soon.
3. John Masters Organics Lip Calm: Oily, but also good.
4. Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer: Very good.
These are some I've tried and don't recommend:
1. Kiehl's' signature lip balm feels good, but it's oily- most of it is petroleum jelly- and overpriced.
2. Clinique's is too sticky.
3. Burt's Bees is overrated.
4. Dr. Hauschka is overrated and overpriced.
5. Clarins' is average.
6. Aquaphor is average.
