The Camphor and white petroleum are added to Carmex lip balms to make them cool and soothing. Carmex is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and declared as a safe and effective medicated lip care product. Of course, Carmex is not addictive in the sense that it does not contain any addictive ingredients. However, when people apply Carmex, they may feel that they need it on their lips all the time. If it is harsh or too dry, you will definitely need to reapply lip balm — it may be from any brand.
If you feel that your lips immediately get dry after the application of Carmex, you can check the ingredient list to make sure you are not allergic to any of them. Ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzocaine may irritate or make your lips drier.
Similarly, methanol present in Carmex may give a cooling sensation, but actually, it will dry out the lips further. Carmex is made from certain natural and synthetic products. Most of them are derived from petroleum and gasoline. Ambergris, also known as Whale vomit, is a strange natural substance that comes from sperm whales. It is often used in the high-end fragrance industry as it is super expensive. The use of Ambergris is prohibited because the sperm whale is an endangered species.
Why would the makers of any lip balm use it in their products when they have so many cheap alternatives. And there is no sign of any whale sperm within Carmex products or any product for that matter. There are several lip balms available in the market. Here are some of the most famous lip balms that people use to soothing their chapped lips. You can use any one of them if you are allergic to Carmex ingredients. Blistex : We can say that Carmex is a really powerful formulation that works fast.
However, if you are searching for a lighter product, you can try Blistex. People with sensitive lips should use Blistex instead of Carmex as it will soften your lips without causing sensitivity. Blistex is also safe for use in children.
It gently soothes chapped and sore lips. Though Blistex promises an effective relief from chapped lips, some of its ingredients are still questioned for the health risks they carry. It is a super nourishing lip hydrator composed of organic botanical oils, Vitamin E, shea butter, and beeswax. Tatcha Camellia Gold Spun Lip Balm: This brand was awarded the Allure Best of Beauty Award for because it contains a reasonable amount of lip-friendly fatty acids and vitamins that impart great hydration to your lips.
It is often recommended for use in eczema because it will not irritate even if you have sensitive skin. The ointment comes in a smart tube, but it is free from tints and other fancy ingredients. It comes with very beautiful tints that will give a nice, subtle glow to your lips or cheeks.
The super-smooth coating of Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm surely heals the lips from inside, rather than coating them in a mixture of chemicals. It contains vitamin E, shea butter, and sunscreen. It is quite effective for curing chapped lips because of the natural oils present in it. The company claims to have added grapeseed, apricot, and black currant extracts to enhance its healing properties. However, we find that it contains several artificial ingredients such as tints and fragrances.
ChapStick : For some people, Chapstick is the ultimate choice when it comes to choosing their lip balms. However, some people claim that ChapStick may make your lips even worse. Apparently, it does not heal the lips, making it essential for users to apply it repeatedly. EOS Lip Balm: It performs good healing action but may cause allergies and adverse reactions in some people. Vaseline : This is the oldie Goldie classic choice for treating chapped lips.
Though you may find its latest innovations Aloe and Cocoa butter, we bet you have a big tub of Vaseline that you bought several years back.
