What Causes Dry, Chapped Lips?
In the story below, a family gets stranded at the Denver airport. ONE skin care product would have been totally necessary: LIP BALM. Read it and see if you can find the 6+ reasons MadeOn Lip Balm would have saved the day...
You're stranded in the Denver airport with hundreds of other travelers along with your toddler, your father-in-law (with his blood pressure medication), your husband (who suffers from sleep apnea), your bag of toiletries, a few oranges, and hopefully a reservation for the Holiday Inn if they have room for your family until the next available flight.
Did you find at least 6 causes of dry, chapped lips in the story? If you can make 8 out of it, you get bonus points.
Here are 8 causes of chapped lips:
The outdoor elements: wind, sun and cold weather.
Your toddler has this habit of licking his lips, yet the more he does this, the more chapped they become.
Your hotel room has central heat, not heat from a fireplace. Unfortunately, it’ll chap those lips.
Medications, especially those from prescription medication like Accutane (for acne or wrinkles) or propranolol for blood pressure, causes chapped lips.
Acidity in fruit, tomatoes and cinnamon gum can irritate the lips.
If your toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate or guaiazulene, or if your lipstick has propyl gallate, your lips might be reacting to these ingredients.
Having air constantly pass over your lips can dry them out, so for your husband’s sleep apnea, he’ll need his lip balm.
A thyroid or autoimmune disease may cause your lips to dry out. So can too much vitamin A (watch the supplements!).

"Living in the cold dry north east I keep the unscented lip balm on me all winter. It keeps my lips moisturized. Due to chemical sensitivities I love the unscented ones." -Kathy
"I use this lip balm with my kids and they don’t mind it at all. With other lip balms they always complained about the smell or taste. This truly helps dry lips." -J.M.
A must have
My favorite lip balm
The best lip balm. I have one for home and one for on the go.
I was so tired of buying lip balms over the years that only made my lips feel dried out afterwards and had to keep reapplying all day long. I have bought them all. I saw this lip balm a handful of years ago and gave it a try. LOVED it! My lips feel great, it goes on smooth, I don’t have to reapply 100 times a day, it actually works. I have purchased some as gifts and keep reordering as needed for myself. These are perfect!
I have tried many different types of lip balms especially the new tallow balms but I must say these are the best. Fast and friendly service when ordering…I’ve ordered these twice now for myself and my family and these are our favorites! I highly recommend 🥰
The only lip balm my daughter wants to use. It’s the best! Just wish it came in cardboard/ something other than plastic.
Made On Lip Balms keep your lips moist. I use everyday and at night before bed. Peppermint is my favorite scent but also use the unscented.
This is the best lip balm that I've ever used! It prompted me to order more of the MadeOn products which are also marvelous!
I really like this lip balm! I have tried many and this brand is the only one I would give 5 stars to. My granddaughter recently texted me with a photo of her last tube asking me if I had any more! She said “It’s the best!” I quickly emailed Renee with two requests: send a box to me and one to Mere. I love giving them as a birthday remembrance.
