Himalaya Herbals Natural Moisturizing Lip Balm Butter, 10gm

My lips are chapped and very dryAfter I tried this lipbalm felt so much better

V good

It nourishes and protects the lips, and helps repair chapped lips. Stays on the lips for long.

Nice

After using nivea Chapstick and Vaseline for so long, I wanted to try one of the natural products for lips. My choices were Himalaya lip butter and Biotique range of lip balm- I chose Himalaya first because it was cheaper :-PConsistency- it is a thick butter, doesn't come easily on your finger, cool weather of Bangalore made it thicker I guess. However it applies smoothly on lips. Personally I don't like the thick texture (or maybe it's because I've been used to the thin smooth texture of petroleum based jelly)Fragrance-it has a yummy slightly butterscotch, slightly cocoa fragrance. It'll take some time time to get used to the smell under your nose (on your lip)Feeling on lip- it feels slightly heavy, sticky, unnatural on the lip. It doesn't get absorbed into the lips easily, nor does it get rubbed off. So lip stay hydrated for a long time. But then again, like I said, it feels unnatural for me, a constant feeling that something is stuck to your lip. It can be a good primer under lipstick or gloss. Best suited for night use because of its heavy texture. But it does make the lip smooth and soft, does nothing to tanned lips. No SPF.Gloss- no gloss, no shimmer,no colour, just a natural hydrating effect.Tub packaging can be a lil unhygienic.Amazon packaging- maybe it was just to transport across various state, the package was all greasy on the outside.Overall verdict- just a night therapy for lips. I may not buy it again, will try Biotique

Original product

I liked the buttery texture and smoothness it provides .And didn't like the packaging of container as it's not easy to carry

I started using this lip butter 2-3 years ago when I was looking for a local, cheaper option to the Nivea lip balm. It was good then -- nice scent, felt like it actually had the Cocoa/Sal butters it claims to have and kept lips moisturized for a good amount of time. The latest lot I got now, Mfd: Aug 2019 has none of these properties. It is hard in Oct and will be like a stone in Dec/Jan making it useless, has a bad scent and moisturizes for a short time. Seems to be a big compromise on quality. Got to go back to the Nivea then.Update Jan 2020: the Himalaya lip butter is frozen solid, absolutely useless. Nivea lip balm is soft on the other hand. I have found something even better though - Vaseline jelly which keeps moisture in the longest.
