I had a HORRIBLE time with snow mold allergies this spring and was losing SHEETS of skin off my lips and around my mouth. I tried many (about 5) very good lip balms and finally came across in my stuff a Nature's Aid lip balm that I had barely used (old flavour maple syrup that I had been given at a trade show years ago) and within 3 to 4 hours the difference was HUGE. I stopped peeling and the moisture stayed. This will now be the ONLY lip balm I will ever where again!!
