Without their natural moisture, your lips become irritated and rough—a crispy husk of their former moist glory. But you can help protect your lips—the most fragile skin on your body—just by smoothing on a little Carmex® lip balm. Carmex adds natural emollients to your lips, while locking in your own body’s moisture to help protect against chapping and cracking. Lanolin, for example, is a natural substance that locks in moisture. The lanolin in Carmex is easily absorbed into the delicate skin of your lips, where it provides a temporary barrier against the drying effects of wind, heat and cold. Also, several of our product varieties include SPF 15 sunscreen to help protect your lips from the sun’s damaging rays. It’s effective protection you can wear every day.
