Dr. Bronner’s Organic Lip Balm 6-Pack (.15oz) Natural, Moisturizing, Petroleum-Free Lip Moisturizer with Beeswax & Avocado Oil for Dry Lips, Men & Women - Unscented

When I recently ran out of lip balm (I'm an avid user), I wanted to look into something a little more "green" - organic, if possible, and paraben free. I also needed something that wouldn't irritate my incredibly sensitive skin allergies (which is why I tend to go for unflavored/unscented/uncolored personal care items). And, of course, all other things being equal, I prefer a lip balm that lasts as long as possible. As a 'scientific' trial, I decided to try out three different "natural" lip balms available on Amazon, this one included, and limit myself to one lip balm a day, recording my observations and frequency of use in a 9-hour work day. (And if that doesn't make my life sound exciting, I don't know what will, ha.) Dr. Bronner's & Sun Dog's Magic Organic Lip Balm, Naked - 5 Stars Dr. Bronner's little purple stick of lip balm isn't perfect, but it's about as near as I could find in "natural" lip balms. It's USDA Certified Organic (as opposed to the more flimsy "Natural" moniker) and - according to their website, at least - the company is certified as a Fair Trade company. The "Naked" version is almost completely scentless and tasteless (although they do sell scented and flavored ones for people who like that sort of thing) and the ingredients list is refreshingly short - a mere 5 ingredients, perfect for the allergenically inclined. The lip balm goes on smooth and feels extremely nice, but I did have to apply more Dr. Bronner's lip balm the most frequently - 8 to 9 times a day in a nine hour period. Hugo Naturals Lip Balm, Vanilla & Sweet Orange - 3 Stars Hugo Naturals doesn't sport the USDA Certified Organic label, but several of the ingredients on the ingredient list have "Organic" in the title (although "Certified" is nowhere to be found, so I'm not sure how to take that). The ingredient list is 10+ items long, but you can visit their website to download a complete list of ingredients in their products, which is nice if you have a specific allergy or additive you're trying to avoid. The "Vanilla and Sweet Orange" flavor has a nice, mild scent to it, but there's a slight "tingle" at application that I found slightly unpleasant - perhaps a reaction on my part to the citrus additives? Furthermore, I noticed that after wearing the lip balm for awhile, the tip of my tongue started to itch irritably, to the point where I found myself gnawing on my tongue to 'scratch' it. This irritation occurred on all of my "Hugo Naturals Days", but not with the other lip balms, and since I cycled the days randomly I suspect that the relationship was a causal one. As for application, Hugo Naturals goes on smoothly and I had to reapply 7-8 times in a nine hour period. Yes To Carrots Lip Butter, Melon - 4 Stars Yes To Carrots also sports the USDA Certified Organic label, albeit with an odd "95% Organic" disclaimer just above it. The long ingredient list (13+ items) notes which ingredients were certified organic and which ones weren't, and you can visit their website for a complete ingredients list for each flavor of lip balm they offer. I bought the "Melon" flavor on the theory that it would be the mildest, but I notice that the "Melon" flavor also contains a good dose of citrus orange extract. I didn't notice a tingle or an irritation with this lip balm, however, which was a relief. The scent is a mixed-bag - I would probably describe it as "cheerful" smelling, but it feels overwhelming, particularly right after application. Actual application is smooth and application times are the least frequent - 7 times each day, within the nine hour testing period. I'm not sure, though, if the application times were less because the lip balm lasted longer than its compatriots or if it was because I was dreading the wash of bright-cheerful-melon scent. Whether or not that is a bad thing will depend entirely on the user - I can imagine that many children would find the scent delightful. Bottom line, you probably can't go wrong with any of these lip balms - I recommend all of them over the non-natural, paraben-containing brands available. I'm happy I ordered all of them and will use them all (except perhaps the Hugo Naturals, due to my unique allergy issues) until they're gone... but after that, I'll probably only reorder the Dr. Bronner's and stick with that one. ~ Ana Mardoll

It’s the only lip balm I use. It helps chapped lips and keeps your lips soft. It’s not too minty and stays on for quite a while.

I’ve finally found the perfect lip balm! Glides on, no waxy or greasy feeling, and it’s pure magic on dry, chapped lips. It’s better than lip gloss and no goo, light weight, and no flavor. It’s the best solution for “winter lips”!

This is an excellent lip balm. It helps add moisture to my dry lips and the peppermint is quite subtle. It’s my favorite because it does what it says it will, is a good value with great ingredients.

Best lip balm ever. Great texture, not waxy. Super hydrating

Small but Wonderful, smooth on Lips!

👍 Cleaner (less ‘addictive’) ingredients 👍 Moisturizing is good for animal free but doesn’t last 1/2 as long as tallow lip balms do 👍👍 Texture, soft & slippery 👍👍 Fragrance, flavor & color free 🤩 👍 Effectiveness is ok compared to most BUT it doesn’t last 1/2 as long as tallow based lip balms do ⌛️😕💔 👌 It’s an awesome animal free option

The only lip balm that works. I’ve tried everything out there and this is the only one that really works, has no smell and no taste. It’s the only one my mom could use due to sensitivities and she gave me one and I was blown away when I discovered it actually healed my chronically chapped lips (thanks perimenopause) 🫠

Love this gloss. No scent, no flavour, not sticky or gooey. Just quality hydrating gloss - my fav!

I have given 5 stars for this lip balm because it rightly deserves so! This is my first review writing about a product and I am more than happy that this is the product I have chosen because after a long time I have found my holy grail lip product for chapped lips..this more than assists in any lip condition a girl might have..Sore lips, chapped..dry..I apply this in the morning 5 minutes before I do the rest of my make up..making them perfectly plump and soft by the time I apply my other products..then once again in the night time before going to bed, leaving them well moisturised and conditioned. This is a fantastic product and would definitely re-purchase and recommend to everyone! So go on girls, after you have read this don't waste any more time and purchase yours! :) Much love to all!

I mistakenly thought I was buying a bulk pack of 6, and would not have bought if I had known. But the product is good otherwise.

Perfect for smooth soft lips.

This has been my favorite lip balm for a long time and the only one I use now. The peppermint gives a nice cooling effect, especially when lips are really dry or chapped, and it helps them feel better right away. It keeps my lips moisturized without that waxy or overly slick feeling, and I don’t find myself needing to reapply constantly like with some other brands. Just a clean, effective balm that does what it should.
