John Masters Organics Skincare Facecare Lip Calm Lippenbalsem - 4gr

I originally saw this product in a Real Simple list. This product is one of my top 3 "go-to" balms - I've been using it for about 2 years. I keep one in my desk at work and one at home. I find it is very moisturizing, NOT addicting (as one reviewer noted), it did not "re-bound" on my lips (i.e., initially moisturizing but then drying them out), has a pleasant smell and a fair staying power. I personally like the smell/taste and have re-purchased this product already. It is great for general moisturizing. That being said, I have eczema on my lips and when that flares up I need to use something more intense. I have two other "go-to's" I use for those flare ups. What I don't like about it: the short shelf life - I got all excicted and purchased several my first go round only to have to ditch them because of the short shelf life (6 mos.) Now I just buy one at a time.

Overall I like this lip balm as it moisturizes nicely but I think the citrus/lemon smell is too much. My favorite organic lip balm would still have to be lavera

So emollient and great-tasting. You will be surprised how fast it finishes if you use it continually every day.

Been lemming for this forever so when I finally saw it in a shop I bought two. Wanted so much to love it... but unfortunately this isn't the best moisturizing balm ever. I tend to have rather dry lips nowadays, and I find that this balm doesn't really soften them, just sits on top. I have other balms that really penetrate, and this isn't one of them, as much as I wanted it to. Bonus points though for being organic -- it's good to know that whatever you're putting on your lips is all natural. It smells good too. I'm trying my best to use it up now since I heard that a tube lasts only six months, and I don't think I might be repurchasing this.

This was an impulse buy awhile back...I wanted a citrusy lip balm. Price was around $6, selling point is probably that it is organic. The balm is a bit yellow/green in color and goes on clear. It is smooth and quite a bit thicker than Chapstick or Blistex lip balms. It is moisturizing, but I always feel like there is a layer of grease on my lips. The scent is pleasant and citrusy, but doesn't remind me of cleaning product. The balm tastes like citrus oils, which I neither liked nor disliked. The stick of balm is quite soft. If your balm no longer goes down the tube, pushing it back down even a very small distance is difficult and messy. Personally, I could care less if a lip balm is organic. There are cheaper lip balms with textures that I like better out there, so I will not be repurchasing this.
