Don’t neglect your lips when you’re out in the sun, Carmex can help! Ever wondered what’s in those little tubes that make them feel so good? You know what I’m talking about…the “tingle.” What makes Carmex tingle?
Menthol — Kills germs and relieves discomfort
Menthol also has anesthetic properties and helps soothe the discomfort of dry, chapped lips and the pain associated with cold sores. Menthol elicits a cool, refreshing sensation.
Camphor — Alleviates pain
Acts as a mild local anesthetic and antimicrobial agent against germs. Camphor is also one of the ingredients that provide relief for the burning, itching and pain associated with cold sores.
Phenol — Kills germs, exfoliates and anesthetizes
In Carmex,phenol helps reduce the itching and burning associated with dry chapped lips and cold sores. The phenol in Carmex lip balms also help to gently remove old, dry and peeling skin on very chapped lips.
Lanolin — Softens, lubricates and protects
Lanolin protects lips from the elements by locking in hydration and restoring softness and elasticity to tender lips.
Cocoa Seed Butter — Moisturizes and protects
Because of its pleasing fragrance and excellent emollient qualities, cocoa butter is a popular ingredient in many cosmetic and skin care products. .
Salicylic Acid — Gently exfoliates and relieves pain
Salicylic acid can be found in many skin care products such as cleansers, facial
creams and lotions.
Aloe Butter — Helps heal and soothe
Research shows aloe also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial qualities.
Vitamin E — Reduces damaging free radicals
Vitamin E helps heal wounds faster and also increases the efficacy of other active sunscreen ingredients.
Shea Butter — Penetrates to soften dry, cracked skin
Shea Butter is a plant lipid that is used as an emollient in cosmetics to moisturize and soften skin.
Petrolatum — Reduces inflammation and helps heal
Topical application of petrolatum can reduce inflammation and help the skin’s outer
layer recover from damage (e.g., chapped lips, minor cuts and burns).
My 3 kids and I all love Carmex, even my son who wears it at night. We received the new Ultra Smooth lip balm in the pomegranate scent and it works wonderfully like the rest. That sweet scent added with the tingle that just assures you it’s working is a wonderful summer combination. I don’t wear lipstick but I do like having a slight shine to my lips during the day and when I go out, this satisfies that need. Plus living in California, even our doctors say we need sun protection every day of the year and Carmex Ultra Smooth offers SPF 15 with 80 minutes of water resistant sunscreen.
