Tell me about Carmex lip balm

Suffering himself from dry, chapped lips, Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in the USA in the early 1930s. Alfred made Carmex in his kitchen from local ingredients and carefully hand-poured his special formula into small glass pots which he sold to pharmacists from the boot of his car. Since then, Carmex lip balm has become an international favourite in over 35 countries, though we are proud to say Australia was the first market outside of the USA to fall in love with Carmex. Now more than 145 Carmex products are sold every minute worldwide! Carmex lip balm continues as a family focused, family owned business to this day.

Chapped lips, dry lips, cracked lipsWhat causes a painful pout

Lips get chapped because they are too dry; usually because of exposure to dry air, sunlight, wind, low temperatures or even dust. Natural recover is aided by sealing in moisture and protecting against additional damage.

Does Carmex moisturise my lips

Yes. Carmex lip balm contains a unique blend of ingredients, including natural moisturisers such as cocoa butter and lipid-rich emollient, lanolin. These and other ingredients for relief and comfort give you healthy-looking lips by restoring lost moisture and helping to prevent dryness and chapping.

When should I use Carmex

As often as possible! Carmex helps to soothe, moisturise and relieve dry, chapped lips. Apply Carmex liberally and evenly as often as necessary throughout the day – and not just in Winter! It is especially useful before and after exposure to sunlight, wind or low temperatures, which as you read above can cause those pesky, painful dry lips.
