What are the ingredients in lip balm?
Some lip balm ingredients are manufactured, such as petroleum jelly. Others are natural, such as beeswax. There has been some debate over which is better for you.
Dr Emma Craythorne, a consultant DermatologistA doctor who specialises in diseases and conditions of the skin. and surgeon, who uses petroleum jelly as a lip balm, told the Sliced Bread podcast: “Sometimes if you’re creating something SyntheticA substance manufactured by humans rather than one which is made naturally. A synthetic substance can also mimic a natural substance., you’re making it in a more pure form, whereas if you have it from a natural source, it may be contaminated with other things. Natural ingredients are wonderful, but some natural ingredients are really, really harmful, so I wouldn’t say natural was better.”
