"Burt's Bees - 100% Natural Origin Moisturising Lip Balm - Vanilla Maple" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Burt's Bees - 100% Natural Origin Moisturising Lip Balm - Vanilla Maple ticks this box. Acer saccharum sap extract in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Lanolin, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, glycine soja oil, theobroma cacao seed butter and cera alba in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
