  • I like it!! I purchased a multipack of various flavored lip treatments and enjoy using them, but likely wouldn’t repurchase without some sort of bundle/discount/sale as of now! I’m not sure on long term results as of yet, but I like the idea of recycling an already discarded by-product for beauty and skincare! I am interested in trying the face cream next.

  • Using the lotion and I like it. I can’t say I saw huge improvement in eczema but I do find it moisturizing and not greasy. It feels as effective as weleda’s skin food without the greasiness. I appreciate it doesn’t use fragrance but my family didn’t like the smell. It doesn’t smell bad to me and doesn’t linger but not a lovely smell. However, I’d like to try other products and there’s a good chance I’ll buy it again.

  • It was fine, just fine. It works as well as Vaseline, Blistex or Laneige. It's definitely better than Chapstick or an equally cheap product. The claim "it results in never having chapped lips ever again" is a stretch. I do see a noticeable difference (1 week in) where I don't experience chapped lips for about 4-8 hours at a time. I live in a very dry, cold climate so I've tried lots of different products. It works well, but at the price point, I'll just use Blistex or Vaseline instead because there's not enough product to justify the price. No returns for open products (doesn't matter if you were only testing it out once).

  • One of the only lip balms / treatments to ever work. Would love more flavors / scents.
