What is Carmex?

Carmex promises hydration and protection for the lips' delicate skin. Its hydrating formulas typically include:

• Petrolatum and beeswax: They form a protective barrier on the skin. This barrier locks in the moisture and prevents dryness.

• Menthol and camphor: Their cooling and soothing sensations ensure a healthy skin experience.

• Cocoa butter and lanolin: They nourish the lips and soften rough patches.

Carmex is useful for very dry lips and treat lip irritation due to weather exposure.  We have discussed many other choices in our blog titled, 'The Ultimate List of Must-Have Lip Balms for Hydrated Lips'. Visit & read it.
