Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Aroma refers to an ingredient, or mixture of ingredients, that impart or mask a flavor.
The name is slightly confusing. This is because INCI associates aroma with flavor instead of smell.
Here is the official definition from the The International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook:
“Aroma is a term for ingredient labeling used to identify that a product contains a material or combination of materials normally added to a cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular flavor.”
INCI shows the only purpose of aroma to be "flavouring".
However, due to regulation differences, some companies may use aroma in place of parfum.
In Canada, this ingredient only has to be listed in concentrations above 1%.

honestly, i thought my lips were just naturally dry and peeling all the time for years. seriously. but when i stopped using EOS and other similar lip balms, the dryness stopped.
if these lip balms work for you, that’s great. i’m not denying that they work for some people. but for many of us, they’re the cause of our supposedly ~mysteriously~ dry lips.

Initially worked OK, but I developed painful red cracks at the corners of my mouth after a few uses.
It works fine but when I kiss my boyfriend he tastes like the industrial district... not a fan... or even if I get a little in my mouth. Just way too strong. Even the scent is suffocating.
