The color-changing lip
balm market has burgeoned at a fast pace in the last few years, mostly in developing countries like China.
Regular bath
balms sell for around $6, and a half-dozen eggs with treasures sell for $12-$15.
If a lip
balm feels cool and soothing, take a close look at its ingredients.
"In 1992, Softlips launched its first lip
balm targeting women with its unique slim stick packaging and flavorful formulas," says Mentholatum director of lip care marketing Katherine Tocheff.
Tiger
Balm White also promises to help relieve tension headaches.
This non-oily
balm creates a protective barrier to fill cracks and prevent them reoccurring.

Balm. Total skin indulgence.
Before you do anything, you must thoroughly clean the lip

"As part of our commitment to exceed consumers' needs and stay true to Softlips' long legacy of flavorful lip
balms, we were inspired to create a new generation of Softlips lip
balm," says Katherine Tocheff, director of marketing and innovation skin care and lip care, for The Mentholatum Co., a division of Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., based in Orchard Park, N.Y.
At the start, my lips were chapped from the cold winter weather but after applying the lip
balm they felt soft and smooth and even appeared 'fuller'.
Scott Pakula, EVP at EOS, a New York-based beauty company founded in 2008 to develop innovative products specifically formulated and designed for women, says the week before Christmas is the biggest lip
balm week of the year.
