It popularly refers to any lip balm contained in a lipstick-style tube and applied in the same manner as lipstick.
It is distributed as a liquid or a soft solid (not to be confused with lip balm, which generally has medicinal or soothing purposes).
Lip balm often contains beeswax or carnauba wax, camphor, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, paraffin, and petrolatum, among other ingredients.
The sunscreen in some types of lip balm degrades over time into an irritant.
The deodorant/antiperspirant, lip gloss, lip shine, lip balm, hair wax, and the betty's body wash have all been discontinued.
Regular lip balm and moisturizer is recommended.
The primary purpose of lip balm is to provide an occlusive layer on the lip surface to seal moisture in lips and protect them from external exposure.
