Effective when lips have already become dry and damaged from exposure. Gently apply to lips to moisturize and soften. Protect your lips from the harsh outdoor environment while doing all outdoor activities.
“Burned lips are very dry, flakey and peal a lot,” said Dr. Solem, "And the lip balm keeps the lips soft and supple. And Merino products are better than others because they moisturize better, last longer and aren’t greasy.”

From his experience, Dr. Solem recommends Merino products for burn patients, especially the lip balm for burn victims.

I first bought one of these lip balms in Arizona where it's very dry. It works extremely well. And I've used it ever since.
It last a long time which makes it a great value. The sunscreen is very important to me also!!! Love it

It is extremely dry here, and I'm outside a lot. I use this faithfully, and it works better than anything else I've found. Since I don't want to go looking for it, I have them stashed everywhere.

Best lip care I have ever used. I always buy multiples so I can have them in my desk, purse, night stand, make up drawer.

Left my lips feeling moisturized for much longer than Burts Bees that I have been using for years. I am a Lanolin convert & absolutely love it!!!

I lived in Alaska for years. Very dry climate and constantly blistered lips which only worsened when I would use typical "chapstick" including the Bee Wax products. They all have paraffin in them and I discovered that I am allergic. On a trip to New Zealand in 2000 I picked up this lanolin product and miraculously my lips healed. I am a loyal 15 year user and can't recommend enough.

This fragrance free without annoying flavors is the right moisturizer for my lips as well as useful when you need to apply it to an itch or other skin irritation when you're out without your crack blaster.

This is a wonderful product. I bought one for myself, my husband and my mother. With the cold weather, my lips would crack and peel all the time. Nothing was keeping them hydrated. This works! I will be coming back for more.

Soothing, non-greasy or heavy, long lasting! Very glad I tried it - it will continue to be my choice for lip balm!

Love this lip balm. I have one in my purse, one in my car and I make sure I have it when we are on the bike.
