As someone who has very strong beliefs in the energies of certain stones... that’s just it. The things that stones can do aren’t really topical. You can use certain rocks to attract certain energies to you and dispel others from you, but you don’t need to rub them on your skin for these benefits, and there’s no reason to put them in skincare. It’s a whole gimmick as far as I’m concerned. I appreciate this video so much, thank you for working so hard to break things down!

[sarahmooney]

So excited for this, I recently found your channel and you might be my new favorite. I've been (im)patiently waiting for part 2 since you did part 1.

[MakeupByJamieJarrozzy]

Omg you know the names of the ingredients, what those names actually mean, so thorough

[ht]

exactly what I was looking for. The part 1 was good two, and honest about the mistakes so glad you took the time to fix it and redo it as part 2.

[jessicamiller]

Thanks for doing this. Most reviewers don't go into depth about the ingredients so I really appreciate that you did this. So helpful!

[marianne]

I recently found one from Your Good skin. Vegan, cruelty-free, no coconut oil and no fragrance or essential oils. Basically a unicorn lip balm.:) It has worked well so far!

[lseh]

Lol “friend” took me a quick sec for the 💡 lol 😂

[ashaleighsxx]

When you've juust applied carmex to your lips then hear about the phenol O_o 😂

[renemartz]

I really want to know about the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Quench rescue lip balms, and the Physicians Formula Butter lip creams. I know these are not exactly balms, but they are touted as being protecting and healing like balms. Similar to the Fresh Sugar balms. Please do a part 3!!! I know it takes a lot of time and research for you, so I understand if you don't. But I really loved this!!!! Thank you so much Jen! 👏❤💋😊

[karolinaendrlova]

Love that this review is based on ingredients and scientific studies ❤️❤️ we seriously need more influencers like you ❤️please do more videos like this

[cfrancesca]

Please add nuxe if/when you're doing a part 3!

Also, do a part 3 please! 😁❤️

Dr Bronner's has a new naked one out that I am excited about, they have flavored ones too but the naked one has no fragrance etc. I have been studying ingredients for soaps and skin products years and I came to some of the same conclusions you did. I found that I only use petroleum based ones if I want the skin to peel off my lips. Silicones cause dry lips for me if used repeatedly because it prevents moisture from going in or out. The olive oil unsaponfiables is the parts of olive oil that won't turn to soap. It's actually partly why some people prefer bar soap over liquid that's handmade(gentle and good for skin).

[mariec]

I have so many lipbalms that I don't even use because they don't work, so looking forward to the video!

I found this super interesting, thank you, Jen! I used to use Carmex religiously back in the day, and I found recently, I cannot use it. It doesn’t help like it used to at all. My tops are Bite Agave balm, Laniege sleep mask (grapefruit)/laniege in the tube (peach), glossier balm dot com (coconut), raw sugar in mango coconut) and Lanolips 101 Ointment in Coconutter. All of them, save the Raw Sugar, are up there in price, sadly. But I rotate between most of them, and love them all. I used to use the Sun Bum ones, but I feel like they’re a little too...thin feeling, for lack of a better term, despite how great they do work. Except the RS ones, which are the thickest of the thinner feeling ones, they all goop on my lips, and I don’t have to reapply as often. I tried a sample of the First Aid one, but I gotta get through my rotation first!

Anyway, long story short...pardon my rambles! Once again, love all the in depth investigating you do, and appreciate it so, so much!

[sierrafairbanks]

I know carmex isn't the best for everyday use but I use it often. I put their medicated lip balm for cold sores on every night and rarely rarely get cold sores. But after this video I will be looking for a different balm for everyday use. 👍

[sailuna]

I was really waiting for this video, good morning Jen❤️

[christimoisant]

Yay! I've been using Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lip for years. Nothing beats it. I also like The Sugar lip balm, but the Vaseline one lasts longer and is so much more affordable.

[BronxDudette]

Thanks so much for this comprehensive video. I love your channel and I don’t get why you don’t have more subscribers! Your channel is a wealth of knowledge.

[lolasummer]

Jen this video has really helped me! Thank you!! I was addicted to carmex and it was horrible, I had to reapply every few minutes and it was so uncomfortable all the time. Now I'm just using aquaphor and I can go many hours without reapplying. The first day off carmex was difficult though, my lips were craving that cooling feeling. But you are so right! It irritates your lips over time. It sounds a bit dramatic but you have changed my life

[Nikahopsalittle]

Another top notch video. You gave enough info that we can go be ingredient sleuths and make better purchases :)
