I really enjoy this moisturizer
I’ve been using this moisturizer on and off for about a month and I really like it. I have oily skin so it seems to help with it. It does moisturize also maybe not a whole lot but that’s good for me. The only down fall I would say is maybe the price

I experimented with using this as a lip balm, and was disappointed. I liked it at first, but after a few days, I realized it was slowly burning my lips, and I developed a bit of a crack in one of the corners of my mouth.
I did a bit of research, and as far as I can tell, on of the ingredients - Rhus verniciflua peel wax - contains Urushiol, the compound in poison ivy and poison oak that causes rashes. Maybe they do something to the wax to remove this compound, but if so, they must not remove all of it, because I have no idea what else in this balm could have caused my physical reaction.
It's insane to me that they would use such an ingredient in a product designed for babies!
I did, however, end up trying the stick version of their balm, which does not contain Rhus verniciflua peel wax, and I have used it for a while now with no burning (which further leads me to believe that's what gave me the reaction). I highly recommend giving that one a try as a lip balm.
