Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick 10 ingredients
despite my oily skin my nose+lip area always gets super irritated in the winter time & this product has helped me out so much with this problem. i personally like this wayy more than the regular cream/gel aquaphor because it’s so easy to apply/wear both over & under makeup. the viral under-eye concealer hack works great.
this provides a pretty great, convenient way to apply Aquaphor. it absorbs into my skin fast, even when i apply a ton of product. sporadic use over the period of only a single day can make a huge difference in dry patches!

If you're looking for a good-value vegan lip balm, I highly recommend giving this a try.
