Natio Paw Paw Lip Balm (20ml)

It's essentially castor oil and beeswax. It's ok but lanolips was far better and this balm is instantly soaked up by my severely dehydrated lips. I have sensitive skin and lips and didn't find this irritating and to be honest, it's pretty great value for money - 20ml is unheard of for a balm!

I've always been searching for 'the' lip balm and have never succeeded until now. The past few years I've stopped using lip balms containing mineral oil (or Vaseline) because it felt like I had put a layer of grease (not oil, but slippery greasiness) on my lips and it didn't do anything except just lay on top of my lips like a slippery mess. I turned to oils like Argan Oil, but I felt like an idiot grabbing a bottle of oil every time I wanted to hydrate my lips and it sunk in too quickly. I love lip balms that are moisturising but also last longer on my lips and not sink in straight away. I don't like lipgloss and I haven't been using lipstick in ages because my lips are so dry and always cracked, no matter which season we're in. I read loads of good reviews on this lip balm online and decided to give it a go. It isn't the cheapest, but 20 ml is quite a big tube for a lip balm. It didn't last for a very long time, but that's because (don't be shocked) I use it at least 4 times a day on a daily basis. So I didn't expect it to last me years or months. It lasted a good 4 months and I still have some left, but I've already purchased my back-up this week. I cannot go without this lip balm anymore! This is so, so, so hydrating. I know when my lips are feeling bad and cracked after a cold or hot day (or after biting on them) it will be gone within no time with this balm. It does have a slight nutty scent from the Castor oil that's in the balm, but it's not a nasty smell to me (and I really don't like the smell of Castor oil!). It contains such great ingredients, it just blew my mind. It has a glossy finish, but not sticky and annoying like lipgloss can be. I seriously hope they will continue to make this product forever because this is my #1 ride or die product! It also does wonders for cracked and dry patches on the skin! You certainly won't be disappointed with this product, I can guarantee you that! This balm should be in everyone's cabinet and purse!

I was always looking for a natural, but really hydrating and glossy (some people call it greasy) lipbalm. I want a lipbalm that makes my lips look plump and feel hydrated since they are always bone dry, cracked and sore from biting (that's my tic I guess). I don't want a balm that sinks in straight away and make my lips feel dry again. I decided to give this balm a go and I'm so, so happy I did! This is all I've ever asked for and my lips no longer have any cracks! I scrub them a couple of times a week, sometimes less and when I wake up in the morning my lips are smooth and we'll hydrated. I use it all day long and can't go without it! For someone who uses it a couple of times a day it doesn't last very long, but on the other hand, this one contains more than other lipbalm containers or tubes in general do and it's really worth the money!
