What the gurus are saying

This balm contains castor oil and fragrance, both of which can cause reactions in people with sensitive lips. If that's you, checking the ingredient list first is the smart move. For everyone else, it works fine as a straightforward lip balm, and there's an unscented version available if you want to skip the fragrance.

"I think the lip balms that she chooses to highlight and the ones that she likes to use are fine as long as she's not having an allergic reaction or having even more dry chapped lips from them."
Approved
"I like the Burt's Bees line. They do have an unscented option, and I do like the unscented one even though it has castor oil in it, which can be allergenic. If you're not allergic to castor oil and you're not allergic to fragrance, then you don't have to worry about allergens, but if you have sensitive lips, you might need to look at ingredients."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
