I took Accutane twice in my early twenties, and almost two decades later, I still have to have something moisturizing on my lips at all times (IYKYK). I was an Aquaphor devotee for years until I switched to Alba Botanica’s Un-Petroleum Jelly, which I still love—but my girlfriend hates it lol, so I went on a hunt for lip balm that would feel as moisturizing as the Alba but be less oily. I also wanted something that travels better than the Alba, because sometimes I need to apply product but don’t want to use my finger (ballparks, beaches, airplanes, roadtrips, etc.). I am SUPER picky about lip products—taste, texture, etc.—but this one is perfect. It is so hydrating, is non-greasy, smells divine but has super minimal flavor, doesn’t dry out the inside of my mouth or make me feel thirsty, isn’t the least bit sticky, and lasts almost as long as Alba/Aquaphor. I take these everywhere. Both of the scents are fabulous and exactly as described.

I have these tiny guys in my office, on my nightstand, and in the bathroom for convenience :).

So smooth, so hydrating, smell good but could be stronger. Bigger than I expected.
