"People genuinely love the lip balms. I love the lip balms."
Mixed
"Rhode can be, in comparison, a little bit sticky, and you can kind of choke on the scented flavors of their products. I love their products, a very close second, but Naturium's Phyto-Glow Lip Balms have a lot more control to them. You can control where the product is going more, it stays in place. I find myself applying Rhode a lot more than Naturium."
