LIP BALM, 5 Pack, Organic & 100% Natural, With Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Beeswax, Wildcrafted Shea Butter, Proven to Moisturize, Repair, & Protect Your Dry, Chapped Lips. No Chemicals.

I'm very selective regarding lip balm. Over the years I've spent too much money on new products only to throw them out after a couple of uses. I found Karite Lips product over a decade ago and it's been the only balm I've consistently used and been happy with. I began researching other products again given the cost and difficulty with locating the Karite product. A few months ago I came across this Candid Essentials product; LipLoks. One of the ingredients I've found that works best for me and why I used the Karite balm is Shea butter. However, it seems to be the "it" ingredient right now and more often than not when I find a product that boasts of having Shea Butter - it's the last or near to last ingredient listed. These products have not worked for me. So my rule of thumb has become; if a company prioritizes their use of Shea Butter to boost sales revenue versus creating an effective product - I don't trust the company, I don't give them my $. I'm happy to say that Candid Essentials LipLoks product has proven to be a winner on numerous levels. I'm getting a 5-pack for the price I normally pay for 2 of the Karite lip balms, and the flavors are nice, not over the top. I'm glad I made this purchase and found a great alternative for less $! I recommend it.

I'm an avid lip balm user. I have been through so many brands of lip balm out there, ranging from the traditional chemical type to the completely organic and natural type and anything in between. My lips are so dry that sometimes I have to keep rubbing lip balm on them for almost a minute because they absorb the lip balm like crazy, just to be dry again shortly after. Through my experience with a variety of brands, I realized that the lip balms that can "survive" my dry lips are those that contain shea butter and/or coconut oil. So as I searched for "coconut and shea butter lip balm" on Amazon, I stumbled upon this product. It has kept my lips well-moisturized for a good amount of time (about an hour or so before I need to apply some more). When I apply the balm at night, the next morning I wake up to relatively moisturized and soft lips. If the balm works on my lips, it would make your lips glisten with moisture all day long. The smell is also great and all the ingredients are natural. I also use it as a base before applying my lipstick. It really does its job well and satisfies my need for all things natural.

Felt good in the beginning but after a few days my lips became red and sore.

As a chapstick addict who wanted to find something organic to constantly wear on my lips, I wish that these were completely organic (they are not). That said, I do think they are a healthier option than most. My only real complaint is that they can be a little soft and will probably melt in the summer. One of them was a little "grainy" too. I do love the Vanilla flavor and will probably continue to purchase. However, if you want a truly organic lip balm, I would recommend Certified Organic Lip Balm by Sacred Earth Botanicals on Amazon.

...and I'm not saying that's a good thing. I purchased these lip balms in August 2015, and it's now February 2017. I wear them each day, and I have completely used 1 of 4 that I currently have open simultaneously. I chose them because I'm trying to find something that hydrates my lips and I want to steer clear of lip products with petrolatum/petroleum jelly (trying not to eat potentially-bad-for-your-health chemicals whenever possible). Like Chapstick, these lip balms protect against hydration loss, but they don't really add any. I have 1 unopened lip balm left; I'll use them until they're gone, but I'm looking for something better.

I have now been using this Lip Balm for a very long time and I have to say, it is definitely the best Lip Balm I have ever used. I have been through a long journey of Lip Balm use. I started out with Burts Bees which just didn't cut it for me. I then went to Whole Foods brand for a while which didn't cut it either. I then tried Beauty By Earth which I found on amazon and for a while thought it was great as it was better than the last two I had used. It still wasn't great thought because it made my lips very dry and created this uncomfortable layer on them that I ended up peeling off which was not good for my lips.I finally decided to try this product and it is definitely far superior to the Beauty By Earth. I am no longer peeling my lips like crazy and it does not make them feel uncomfortable. I even tried the Beauty By Earth again after using this for forever and the same issue came back. This is definitely a much better product and so far is the best Lip Balm I have ever used.

I was looking for a natural product that would nourish my lips not just gloss them. I am really happy with the ingredients in Liploks which saturate my lips with healing properties and help them to stay moisturized and healthy. There are too many glosses that are made with petroleum jelly or other unhealthy ingredients that don't actually do anything positive for my lips and I find myself in a frustrating cycle of chapped lips leading to reapplying product with ingredients that only make the problem worse. I am happy to have found this brand of chapstick which really makes my lips feel soft and supple, protected and nourished. Thank you Liploks for your wonderful product that I know I can depend on. I also appreciate the multipack which enabled me to carry chapstick in my car, purse, bedside table etc. There is one for everywhere and the flavors are yummy.
