Okay. Dried my lips out a little after a couple of days. I threw it away in the end.
Unfortunately, this lip balm is simply not very moisturizing. It doesn't really help my dry lips much, if at all. It also has a tendency to separate in the tube. I tend to get a thin liquid at first, and then a more balmy consistency. I was not able to use it up.
