As far as I can tell, this balm does not contain alcohol. Which is a common ingredient in lip balms. Alcohol tends to dry out the skin and will cause you to have to reapply your balm often. This balm, does not contain alcohol so applications will be less than with other balms.

The texture of the "holder" is very smooth. The balm itself is smooth as well, but the balm is tightly packed (extremely dense)and does not roll on as easily as other lip balms. You have to apply quite a bit of pressure in order to gain any kind of benefits or even for it to roll onto your lips. I found that applying pressure actually "broke" the balm in one spot and left a rather large gash in the side of it, while breaking off entirely too much lip balm for me to use in one application. I found this somewhat annoying. I prefer my lip balm to glide on smoothly, and to be able to actually feel like it is on. With the Organic lip balm from EOS, I felt like there was nothing on my lips after "applying it" and felt like I had to keep applying it for a lengthy period of time in order to get anything off it. Its not greasy or sticky or icky feeling in the least. (That is, if you can get any of it on your lips). Something about this balm was odd for me. It just doesn't live up to all the hype that I was reading, and it certainly (in my opinion) isn't worth the $8 its going for. And of course, it doesn't come close to any of the other balm that I use currently.

I ordered the honeysuckle and the summer fruit. The honeysuckle smelled/tasted just as I had imagined it. Smells and tastes just like it should. The summer fruit, I was hoping for something a little more fruity. I can't compare it to anything, as it was a very strange flavor for me. It does have hints of fruit to it, but its like a "watered down" scent or flavor (if that makes any sense?). Both of the flavors were very light and "airy". I would almost say that they gave me a "summer-y" feel.

Honestly, I have to say that I am not impressed with the EOS line of lip balms at all. There was a lot of talk about how wonderful their balm was, but I just cannot say the same for my experience. The design of the lip balm was another draw back for me. Yes, it is a cute and unique design, however its not practical. I cannot see sticking this in my pocket and being able to sit or be comfortable while it is in there. When I travel, I travel light. Most of MY things, go in my pockets while everything else for my kids goes into a diaper bag. If I were to try to put this into my huge purse or diaper bag, it would surely get lost and be rolling around at the bottom of my bag, instead of easily accessible for a quick application. I keep one by my night stand and have tried using it numerous times over the past two weeks. Still, I just don't see how this lip balm helps me at all. Aside from the annoyance of the product, my lips do not seem to be doing any better since using this, than beforehand. My lips have been suffering horribly due to the weird weather changes (hot to cold, back to hot again, its craziness!). Either way, I have seen no benefits or even pleasure in using the product.
