A medicated lip balm that uses petrolatum and lanolin to create a protective barrier, while camphor and menthol provide a cooling sensation. Salicylic acid helps smooth away dry flakes, making it more of a treatment than a standard gloss. It’s the classic "tingle" balm that’s been a staple for decades because it actually stays put through wind and cold. Not a delicate product, but a reliable one for when lips are genuinely chapped and need a heavy-duty reset.

Good to know

Petrolatum

Highly occlusive petroleum derivative. Effective moisture barrier but some users prefer plant-based alternatives.
