Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

As an emulsifier, Octyldodecanol helps prevent the oils and waters from separating. It also prevents ingredients from creating foam when shaken.

As someone who typically only uses vaseline this was a huge game changer. Ive tried other lip balms, don't get me wrong, but I always went back to vaseline. This lip balm though, is incredible. It IS thick, so if you hate that this won't be for you. But thick means it LASTS on your lips. Through eating, drinking, and sleeping. I notice a huge huge difference in the hydration of my lips when I use Show more
Incredible. Outside of vaseline I havent tried anything like it. A noticible difference for me each time I use it!!
