Lip balm is a moisturizing product designed to protect and soothe the lips. It typically comes in a small container or tube and is made from ingredients like beeswax, petroleum jelly, or natural oils. People use lip balm to prevent chapped lips, especially in dry or cold weather, and to keep their lips feeling soft and smooth.
Many lip balms also contain added flavors, scents, or even sun protection factors (SPF) to enhance the user experience. Some brands offer tinted versions that provide a hint of color while moisturizing. Popular brands include Burt's Bees, ChapStick, and Carmex.
