Paraffin Wax in Lip Balm

Provides structure and a smooth glide to waxy cosmetic products at very low cost.

In our database, 10 lip balm products contain Paraffin Wax 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.

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Lip Balm products are applied directly to the lips, where ingredients are ingested through eating and drinking. Mild concern due to cumulative petroleum-derived compound exposure.

Look for lip balm products that use beeswax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax instead of Paraffin Wax. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
