What type of lip balm is best for chapped lips?

To treat your chapped lips, choose a lip balm with ingredients that are:

  • Fragrance-free.
  • Hypoallergenic.
  • Ointments (petroleum jelly, glycerin).
  • Oils (mineral oil or castor seed oil).
  • Moisturizing (ceramide, dimethicone).
  • Sun-protective (titanium oxide, zinc oxide).

Don’t use lip balm that includes the following ingredients, as they can irritate chapped lips:

  • Fragrances and flavoring.
  • Menthol.
  • Eucalyptus.
  • Camphor.
  • Waxes.

If your lip balm causes a stinging, burning or tingling sensation, stop using that product.
