Lip Balm History and Information:

Lip Balm or Lip Salve is a substance topically applied to the lips of the mouth to relieve chapped or dry lips. Lip gloss is similar in the fact that it is topically applied to the lips of the mouth, but generally has only cosmetic properties. The primary purpose of lip balm is to provide an occlusive layer on the lip surface to seal moisture in the lips and protect them from external exposure. Dry air, cold temperatures and wind all have a drying effect on skin by drawing moisture away from the body. Lips are particularly vulnerable because the skin is so thin, and thus they are often the first to present signs of dryness. The occlusive materials like wax prevent moisture loss and maintain lip comfort while flavors, colorants, sunscreens and various other ingredients can provide additional, specific benefits.

Lip balm usually comes in tiny containers; either one in which a finger is used to apply it to the lips, or in 'stick' form (similar to lipstick) which is applied directly to the lips.

The first lip balm was actually made out of ear wax. It was functional, but the taste was undesirable.
