Lip Balm : What is it?
| A lip balm is used for protecting the lips from burning, cracking, and chapping. It is made with ingredients that moisturize and heal dry and chapped lips such as aloe, vitamin E, beeswax, peppermint oil, and jojoba. It usually has an SPF (sun protection factor) for protecting the lips from UV rays. It can be flavored, scented, or tinted. |
