My favs are Smith's Rosebud Salve, Chapstick Strawberry, and Ole Henriksen's Fresh Lips (my HG lip balm - has cocoa butter, menthol, salicylic acid, vit E, and most importantly, SPF 15! It's a bit pricey, but it's good stuff.)

But they do, they do! I think it's called Vaseline Lip Therapy, and can be found with the rest of the balms and salves at the drugstore. I think there are three formulas - Original, Advanced, and Cherry.

chapstick has a new lip balm made with mostly natural ingredients-called chapstick all natural. its made with vit e,
mango butter, and shea butter. i bought it recently and its
pretty good.
adrian arpel had a product called skin apeal, which was a two
part system of lip exfoliator, followed by a moisturing lip balm.
i don't know if it still exists, but might be worth a try.

Fresh Sugar has a SUPER YUMMY lip balm that is very moisturizing. Also, when my lips start getting chapped, I just drink more water because that's the first thing to dry out when I get dehydrated.

I agree with a lot of the others when I say you can never go wrong with Carmex! I also like Blistex's Hermal Answer and Complete Moisture.

If you are looking for something to use right before applying lipstick, Burt's Bee's cannot be beat! You don't want to use something like Rosebud Salve or Vaseline because of the petroleum causing lipstick to slip around. BB's is not shiny but just waxy enough to coat the lips and help lipstick stay put.
Love the stuff!

I have suffered from dry lips for years, ever since starting on a strong acne medication when I was about 15 (I'm now 28!) so yeeeeah - this is something i'm pleased to offer an answer to. I found that every time I'd try a new one, even out of the most successful ones - it would work for a while, and then seem to start drying my lips out instead (ie. if i didn't reapply constantly my lips would flake and chap to bits)!! My more successful experiments included Lush Lip Service & Whipstick, all the Chapsticks and Nivea balm sticks, organic lip balms, Dr Hauschka balm, and the lipstick, and tube forms of 8 Hour Cream, but they eventually all lost their effectiveness.
But this little baby beats all of these hands down...
FINALLY I have found THE HG BALM..... and it's not even specifically a lip product!!!!
It is LUCAS' PAWPAW OINTMENT. Found in most health stores, and some pharmacys and department stores, it goes for about NZ$7.00 (or about US$3.50) for a 25g tube that lasts for AGES. And it consistently makes my lips better not worse!! Now all my girlfriends use it. And as it's actually intended as an all purpose balm/ointment, it's great for all sorts - as it says on the back - " A local topical application for boils, burns, chafing, cuts, cracked skin, gravel rash, splinters, open wounds, insect bites, and nappy rash", so it can't exactly hurt to have a tube in your purse at all times.
It's smooth and only very slightly shiny, extremely moisturising, all natural (made of 99.9% fresh fermented papaya), smells nice (v.subtle natural papaya smell that goes soon after you have applied), is not tacky in texture at all, stays on for a long time, enhances lippies and glosses worn over the top (it has totally stopped my MAC Lipglass that I wear everyday from drying my lips out) without helping them slide off, and is a treat on the cuticles to boot.
And as a bonus you can also get it in a massive money-saving tub to keep on your dresser at home for all its myriad other uses.
This is my first makeup review ever, but I read them all the time to research before I buy. If I hadn't read and listened to a handful of reviews of this left-field lip balm product, I would not have the happy lips I am so relieved to sport today, so I guess I finally felt motivated to share this must-have item with the world at large. Trust me on this, and you will never try another. Never. It has saved my lips, now I hope to pay this sweet discovery forward, so test it out yourself.
