I have a horrible time with lip balms in general. I'm allergic to some ingredient that's found in almost everything I've tried except for Chapstick natural (which wasn't moisturizing enough) and the B&C lip creams I bought this month (the ones in the fruit shaped pots. I love those but they're messy and I like to apply at night when I wake up sometimes) Anyway, I bought a pack of these (3 to a pack) last time I was in TJ's. I wasn't expecting much since they're fairly cheap but these are fantasic. They make my lips so soft and smooth and have caused no irritation. I don't know if they have any other varieties but the ones I got are spearmint. It doesn't taste very good (it's definitely not sweetened) but it smells so good and minty. Makes my lips tingle if I apply a lot so I can see it irritating some people. It's 50% organic and has SPF 15. These are everything I wanted Mentha lip balm to be.

I'm glad you found a lip balm you love Sam. I'm pretty picky with lip balms too, since most aren't moisturizing enough. I prefer mine to have cocoa butter or shea butter in them. I get most of mine from online e-tailers.

This one does have shea in it along with organic virgin oil and organic jojoba oil:)

Sounds great and I want to check it out, but there are no Trader Joe's in my area. :(
