Lip balm - it is one of the most common cosmetic products found in almost every woman's handbag.
Since most of us have problems with dry and chapped lips, especially during the winter, nourishing lip balms are a real salvation! Wind and cold are one of the main causes of dry and chapped skin, including lips. The skin of the lips is particularly sensitive to external influences in the winter, so we often have a feeling of dryness and tightness of the lips as a result of excessive exposure to cold.
WHY USE LIP BALM?
BEESWAX - one of the main ingredients
Bee products can slow down the aging process of the skin and restore its structure. Beeswax has long been used to treat wounds and skin diseases, and thanks to its regenerative, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, beeswax is still used today in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and industry.
It is an almost unavoidable ingredient in many cosmetic products, especially in lip balms because it perfectly combines all the ingredients in it and gives it a characteristic structure. Vitamin A and F in it prevent the skin from drying out, enable the achievement of smooth lips, but also the necessary moisture.
Unlike lip balms, which contain Vaseline and paraffin, those based on beeswax help the lips to keep hydration for a long time and do not dry out the lips.
No lips deserve to be chapped or dry. Whether you use lip balm every day or in certain situations, remember these common but natural ingredients, and how they can help your lips feel healthy, beautiful and well-groomed.
HISTORY
From beeswax to Vaseline - people come up with a variety of ways to prevent their lips from drying out and cracking, especially when the colder days come. The inhabitants of ancient Egypt used beeswax, olive oil and animal fats for the purpose of cosmetics, for skin and lip care.
1800. Lydia Maria Child has written a book called “American Frugal Housewife” in which she recommends using cerumen (ear ointment, ear wax) as a treatment for chapped lips.
1856 – 1872. Robert Chesebrough, an American chemist, discovered vaseline and, thanks to its healing properties, used it to heal wounds and burns, that is, he promoted it as an ointment with healing properties.
1880. Charles Browne Fleet, an American physician and pharmacologist, is credited with the world's first handmade lip balm - ChapStick®.
In the early 1900s, places around the world, such as Japan and Sweden, began developing lip care products. They used ingredients like yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit), camellia oil (tea tree seed oil) and beeswax.
1912. John Morton bought Fleet’s lip balm formula for $ 5! He and his wife melted the ingredients, painted them pink, poured them into small wholes so that by cooling the balm it would take the shape of a stick. In this way, ChapStick® received a new packaging.
1937. Alfred Woelbing created Carmex® lip balm in an attempt to soothe and heal his own skin ulcers.
1947. Charles Arch founded Blistex® lip care products. He advertised them as a healing lip balm that prevents dry lips, but also as an external analgesic that relieves pain.

2010. Canadian company Sweet Leaf Bath has produced the first lip balm packaged in biodegradable packaging. Their goal is to choose ingredients that are not harmful to our skin, and also that are not harmful to the environment.
