Lip balm or lip salve is a form of make-up topically applied to the lips of the mouth to relieve chapped or dry lips, angular cheilitis or stomatitis, and cold sores. Lip gloss is similar in the fact that it is topically applied to the lips of the mouth, but generally has only cosmetic properties. The balm is usually manufactured from beeswax, petroleum jelly, menthol, camphor, scented oils, and various other ingredients. Some things also add vitamins, alum, salicylic acid, or aspirin. Some lip balms also contain octinoxate, avobenzone, or other sunscreens to minimize sun damage.
