I used Blistex exclusively for about 15 years until I found out that some of their products contain all three of the ingredients that should be avoided in lip product.

" Menthol, camphor and phenol cool and anesthetize the lips, but can also dry your lips and/or produce redness and swelling"...so I guess the things that were making me love the product were making my lips drier and making me use more.

I loved the feeling of applying this product and it's still difficult to stand in the lip balm isle and choose anything other than Blistex.
