Organic lip balm - lip balm discontinued by Evolution of Smooth - review by Red Vinyl Kitty

Read the entire review

Since buying the lemon flavor, I've gone on to buy tangerine, mint, and honeysuckle.

The Tangerine flavor seems to be a different type of lip balm than the others! I noticed that on it, instead of "Organic Lip Balm", this one reads "Medicated lip balm." It contains Phenol as an active ingredient, which it sites as soothing cold sores and chapped lips. It also says that it is "anti-bacterial". I did not notice this on any of the other lip balms, so I wanted to let everyone know about this. Also, while the Tangerine tastes like an orange, it smells terrible to me. I'm not sure why this is, but it smells very medicine-y to me. Possibly because this one is meant more for cold sores than as a regular balm.

I noticed that the Mint flavor makes my lips feel "cool" (sort of mentholated), and that it's the strongest tasting balm in this line I've tried.

The Honeysuckle is lovely, but doesn't taste like honey to me. It tastes more like cucumber. I also found that the Honeysuckle was the only one I had any kind of difficulty applying. It still applied fairly easy, but I had to press more.
