Burt's Bees Hydrating Lip Balm With Coconut and Pear

"Burt's Bees - Hydrating Lip Balm With Coconut and Pear" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (pyrus communis fruit extract) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (lanolin, butyrospermum parkii butter, cera alba, cocos nucifera oil and helianthus annuus seed oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
