i am allergic to some of the chemicals in this so it is not for me [SEP] i am a lip balm addict rarely do anything that i do not have a lip balm ready to use at any moment it is sitting all over the house at least three varieties in my purse extras in my travel make up kit it is everywhere while i would gotten to the point where i only bought the more natural products either from the health food store type companies or online boutique type companies even bought lip oil that comes in a small roller bottle have hated some and i have not loved any of them a lot started doing aromatherapy last april took two online courses from a reputable aromatherapy company natural living and butters balms started making a lot of my skincare products even made some of my own herb infused oils as a base for my homemade lip balms and oils had not love any of those either actually took everything and added beeswax to it to make my own healing lip balm i like it a lot but will never be able to replicate it avobenzone homosalate octisalate octocrylene oxybenzone i have sensitive allergic reactive rosacea skin and am allergic to most commercial sunscreens in addition to these ingredients the spf mango lip balm contains undecylcrylene dimethicone the only one of these chemicals that i could confirm was natural was the homosalate not sure how they call this a natural product my only excuse is that i am going to florida in a few weeks to visit my mother and wanted a lip balm with an spf factoraside from the issue with the chemicals i have tried this a few times for one the texture is very waxy too much beeswax i also feel a tingle on my lips and an itch in my throat so suspect i am having an allergic reaction to the spf mango lip balm this product is not for me if you do not have allergic sensitive skin and do not care as much about ingredients this product might be for you your other choice is physical blockers like zinc or titanium oxide and they give you that whitish cast not real desirable eitheri did receive a discount on this product with the expectation that i provide an honest review this has no bearing on my rating and i review all products as if i had paid full price my opinions are from my own personal experience with the product and i have no affiliation with the seller
