What’s inside
The balm is built on waxes and oils. Jojoba oil is, in Forever’s words, “a natural liquid wax that both soothes and protects your lips.” Forever adds that “three types of wax lock in moisture and give your lips a stunning gloss.” The three waxes on the label are candelilla, beeswax and carnauba. Myristyl myristate is a skin-conditioning ingredient, and allantoin is listed near the end.
