Could anone recommend a lip balm. My 12 year old daughter seems to be allergic to all the ones we've tried recently. The skin around her lips flares up. The one that she used to use with no problems has been discontinued so if anyone has any suggestions we'd be very grateful.
I use Badger Balm unscented lip balm, and it's really rich and oily (good for gliding onto really sore lips, rather than trying to paste some really hard creamy stick onto them). It's predominantly castor oil and a few other nice ingredients. I'd fully recommend it, simply as there's no fragrance or flavours, and as far as I can tell you without looking at the packaging, nasties-free.

I use the the blue lypsyl or vaseline which are fine for me. Tempted to get some Badger Balm so will keep an eye out for that.
I am allergic to the red lypsyl which I didn't realise for a long time. My lips tingled and felt cold, I got tiny little blisters all around my mouth and started creeping up my nose. One of my supervisors asked if I was sniffing glue. Bless her!!
I use E45 Lipcare, which I find really good.
E45 Lipcare has been specially formulated to give you immediate, soothing relief from sore, cracked or chapped lips. The gentle, hypoallergenic formulation contains UVA and UVB sunscreens for added protection
I use the remnants of pure shea butter I bought months and months ago-if I remember correctly, it has a natural SPF -you might be able to get a lip blam version 🙂
I have been using Balm Balm Lip Balm with Tea Tree and I have to say I simply adore it. I love the consistency of it and the tea tree is not too overpowering and helps keep all those nasty winter germs at bay.
Here's their site.

Lip Balm
Of all the balms I have tried in the past my favourite is by the French company Nuxe.

Dr organics from holland and barretts no sls and parabens.

Perhaps consider extra virgin coconut oil? Certainly tastes good, no added chemicals and works well to protect dry and irritated skin.

Hi Karen
Hope that with all those many replies the problem is gone now.
Just to suggest that I made my own with a mix of lovely shea butter and cocoa butter that smells delicious.
Best wishes

I love Ren's Biometric Perfect Lip Honey, but its quite expensive. Love Lula do loads of organic lip balms and all of their products are free from parabens & sls's www.lovelula.com
I love the organic brand Trilogy's lip balm - I don't have it on me so can't tell you the ingredients but might be worth a go 🙂
