FAQ

Why is Mineral Oil used in lip balm products?
Inexpensive emollient that gives products a silky texture and prevents moisture loss from the skin.
How many lip balm products contain Mineral Oil?
In our database, 10 lip balm products contain Mineral Oil as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.
Is Mineral Oil more dangerous in lip balm than other products?
Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Lip Balm products are applied directly to the lips, where ingredients are ingested through eating and drinking. Daily use on lips means regular low-level ingestion; plant oils are preferred.
What is a safe alternative to lip balm with Mineral Oil?
Look for lip balm products that use squalane, jojoba oil, argan oil instead of Mineral Oil. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
