Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is the INCI name for castor oil.
Castor Oil helps moisturize the skin. It is rich in a fatty acid called ricinoleic acid. This fatty acid helps prevent moisture loss on the skin. This helps keep your skin soft and hydrated. Ricinoleic acid also has anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties.
Besides hydrating the skin, castor oil is also used to hydrate hair. By keeping the hair shaft moisturized, breakage is decreased. More studies are needed to show castor oil's effective on stimulating hair growth.
Castor oil is created by cold-pressing castor seeds and then purifying the oil with heat. It was used in Ancient Egypt as fuel in lamps and to help treat eye irritation.
The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

Berkley scientists found out, that if lipstick is used on average twice daily, the lipstick user ingests about 24 milligrams of product a day, which means about 1/16 of a pound per year. Be mindful with putting toxins and chemicals on your lips. You wouldn't put them on your food, would you?
Not for me. I found it to be quite inelegant and didn’t do much.

This is the best lip balm ever. Using it once before bed keeps my lips soft and hydrated for hours and hours, minimising my daytime lip balm use, if I skip it for a few days I'm more likely to get peeling lips. I always stock up when I or my family or friends go to the USA.
Pro tip: cut open the tube when you think it's finished. I have used a cut-open tube since September 2023 (it's now March Show more
I’ve tried hundreds of lip balms in my life, I have a graveyard full of abandoned ones in a drawer, but so far this is the closest I’ve come to one actually working.
It’s not perfect, personally I don’t like to feel stuff on my lips and this is quite thick and slimy. I’m also not a fan of that style applicator. Like any lip balm if it gets rubbed off my lips will be dry again pretty soon, and Show more
