And the best thing is... the only ingredients in this lip balm are the ones described above... nothing more!

If this proves to be a great product, I will consider looking for the SPF 15 version which was not sold at my local Longs but is online at Walgreens. The only downside is the smell. I don't like it very much. It has a very distinct weird smell, like too much bitterness or spearment or something.
