Walrus Oil - Logger'S Lip Balm, 2-Pack, 100% Vegan, Made With Candelilla Wax, Almond Oil And Natural Ingredients

Before I order it again, I thought I'd leave a review. This lip balm, admittedly, isn't for everyone. It does not work like traditional lip balms that leave the waxy, oily coating on the lips. The formula actually sinks into to the lips and moisturizes from the inside out. If you're looking for a constant slick feeling on the lips, you will need to reapply more often than others. JUST TO BE CLEAR: I prefer how this balm works over others. It works really well under lip sticks because of this, if you give it enough time to soak in to the lips, and because it actually moisturizes instead of coats, I find I have less splits and dryness on my lips. But the primary reason I first purchased this is because I have a sensitivity to beeswax on my lips. I find it is near impossible to find a lip balm that does not contain beeswax and is not a lip oil. Considering how there are plenty of synthetic and natural waxes that can be used in place of beeswax, I am really shocked about that. This lip balm is not only free of beeswax (making it vegan, for those concerned, and safe for those with beeswax sensitivities like me) but it is affordable. Maybe not as cheap as Chapstick but definitely cheaper than other specialty brands. As for a note about the scent, it is very light and not unpleasant; slightly spicy with a hint of peppermint. It is kind of hard to describe but if you have a sensitive to scents, I think this should be okay for you as it is light enough that it dissipates quickly. There is still a scent, mind you, but it is faint.

I have an allergy to beeswax so it is hard to find lip balm at regular stores since most brands use it. This balm smells good, has barely any taste and feels good on my lips. It smells most like cloves, which is amazing because it reminds me of fall and a good cup of apple cider! I can't really smell the peppermint which is fine, but I can feel the slight cooling sensation on my lips which I love. So if you don't like the smell or taste of peppermint, don't be afraid to buy this because you can't really taste or smell it. Its not greasy, its not super shiny on your lips either. In my opinion, it sinks right into the skin and makes your lips feel so soft. I'd have to say, this is my preferred lip balm now even over Hurraw! Which i used for a good 8 years.

Imagine that.

So, I've had issues with my lips being chapped all the time, dry, thick tough skin that cracks. i've always had to carry lip balm and all that with me for many, many years. the past few years, i've realized that much of what they sell us, isn't the best for us to use; chemicals and whatnot. So, after changing out lotions and soaps and so much, i turned to the lips. i used carmex for helping to peal away the thick dry skin to reveal the soft and smooth skin. afterwards, i'd just use any basic lip balm that you can get(like the basic chapstick) to keep it going as long as possible. Initially, i turned to Moroccan magic, and that, just like so many others, leaves (for me) what i feel is like that tough thick stubborn oil that sticks to your stove top or your range hood(usually takes a heavy duty scrubbing and degreaser to remove). my lips would immediately get a dry thick skin that feels awful(i just liken it to sticky burnt on grease because these are loaded with oils and stuff). then, i'd have to go back to carmex to clear away that thick skin. so, this walrus oil for me works like carmex. it's pretty strong and helps to remove the thick dry skin that i really dont like. however, if i continue using it, it'll actually make my lips sore and sensitive. it seems too strong. so, what i do, i drop a good layer of walrus oil, then apply a light layer of moroccan magic and then a tiny bit of Superlan. then, im good for a long time and it take so long before my lips need work again(peeling/removing thick skin) or any additional applications. best of all, even though this is a lot to use and have on hand, its all safer than chapstick and carmex..i believe. and yeah, i've tried superlan solo, and again, yep..thick dry skin buildup and it isn't good alone. yes, superlan is telling the truth that a little goes a long, long way, but it isn't good on its own for me. so, walrus oil helps to peel the thick dry skin and cut the oils and waxes from the other lip blams or whatever - for me superlan and moroccan magic.

Nice texture, but where cloves and peppermint felt good initially, they started to burn my chapped lips after a few applications. So would not recommend that flavour.
