Review: Spiffy Spearmint Lip Balm by TruKid

Padimate, arachidyl propionate, camphor, isopropyl myristate, phenyl trimethicone, propylparaben…

Recognize any of these ingredients? These are just a few of the ingredients you’d find in a popular brand of lip balm, one which I have been using myself, until I discovered Spiffy Spearmint Lip Balm by TruKid.

I’ve never had a problem with chapped lips before, but for the past few months my lips have been really dry—they’d crack and peel. I’ve been using one of the popular brands of lip balms that you can find at any drugstore, which contained the ingredients that I listed above. I’d put it on in the morning, but by the time I’d get to work, my lips would already be chapped! I would have to keep reapplying it and reapplying it.

When I ordered the Healthy Habits Pack by TruKid for the Sunscreen for DS, one of the items that came in the pack was the Spiffy Spearmint Lip Balm, which I was eager to try out for myself. Comprised of palm oil, beeswax, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower seed oil, spearmint oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, vitamin E, rosemary, and stevia, I was not hesitant at all to apply this lip balm on.

First of all, it smells like spearmint gum and when you apply it on your lips it feels cool and refreshing. The first time I used it, I put it on in the afternoon and didn’t need to reapply it at all. My lips felt smooth for the rest of the day. I tried it again the next day, this time putting it on in the morning, and I only had to reapply it once. The same thing happened the next day—only one application in the morning and one in the afternoon was necessary.

I’m so glad the Healthy Habits Pack came with the Spiffy Spearmint Lip Balm (it can also be bought on its own or in a 3-pack). My lips no longer get dry and cracked as they used to since I began using this lip balm, and you can be sure I won’t be buying those “other brands” of lip balm—with ingredients I can’t even pronounce—again.
