That Really Chaps My Lips!
Chapstick is not something I use very often, but I wanted to try Dr. Bronners new chapsticks and see if they were as awesome as all of the other Dr. Bronners products. My conclusion? Stick with the "naked" variety.
I used both the peppermint and the ginger mint flavors. My lips were not chapped - I just used them for a little moisture. I woke up the next morning with severely chapped lips. Thinking that was an odd coincidence, I was just thankful that I now had chapstick on hand and used it throughout the day whenever my lips hurt.
Days went by and my lips were only getting worse. I started to think - maybe the chapstick had something to do with it! So I switched to some lip balm by Kiss My Face, and within two days, my lips were back to normal.
Dr. Bronners really is a great company, and one of the only truly "natural" brands out there, so I don't want to blast them. It was just a truly weird experience.
I don't *think* I'm allergic to peppermint or anything... who knows?
