Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Emollient

Petrolatum is more commonly known as petroleum jelly. It is created by mixing waxes and mineral oils.

This ingredient is effective at reducing water loss by 99%. This is because it is an occlusive. Occlusives create a hydrophobic barrier on the skin to prevent evaporation. This property makes it great for hydrating dry skin.

Pro tip: Use occlusives, such as this ingredient, on damp skin for the best results.

The quality or origin of petrolatum is only known when disclosed by the brand. Most cosmetic petrolatum has gone through several purification stages.

Another benefit of occlusives is it protects your skin against infection or allergies.

Petrolatum may not be safe for fungal-acne. Studies show mineral oil / petroleum leads to the growth of M. Furfur, a type of yeast.

I've been using the cocoa butter lip therapy for years. It does feel a bit thick and oily, but it's been so long that I don't mind it much anymore. The older I get the dryer I get, so this definitely helps keep my lips nice and hydrated.

feels great, I wanted to love it completely but it just doesn’t stay on the lips long enough to hit the mark for my insane lip product standards.

The butteriest best lip balm I have ever used. It's not sticky or overly-shiny, it's just very smooth and moisturizing. You only have to use a little since it's so easy to slide on (it's not dry/hard like other lip balm chapstick products).
