Thick gel but can easily spread. Very moisturizing. Has some black bits which irritate me a bit when rubbed too much, but it’s not a big issue. Can be used to moisturize other dry areas too. I also use this on minor cooking burns. Would repurchase after I finish 3 tubes
The best lip balm I've tried so far. It is pricey but really lives up to the word 'salve'. It's lightweight, soothing, and gives a subtle shine to my lips. I have very dry and cracked lips and this helped give relief. It also has a weird and light scent that might put off some people but personally does not bother me.

Everyone should only use this for their lips… I’m not kidding. I’ve used this product after millions of other products and I don’t think I’ll ever change.
It’s like an upgraded Vaseline, not quite as sticky and greasy feeling but still very much an ointment.
It is sooo soothing for chapped lips and dry spots. I have to be careful not to get any on my chin because it does give me whiteheads there.
