    None of those products ever work for me, so I use bepanthen. It also helps to heal cracked and bleeding lips, which blistex won't do. It does make them a little oily so don't use too much at once.

    I haven't tried the MooGoo one but I would give it a go if Bepanthen ever stops working.

    I'm trying the "red" pawpaw ointment, and so far so good, although its still early days.

    Can someone enlighten me on the evils of the fact its petrolium based? (or do I not want to know?!)

    Im ot sure about the evils of petroleum based but you cant use the red one with cloth nappies LOL
    They sell the black one at our local priceline, which is better apparently

    Carmex is absolutely brilliant. Not oly does it work on dry, cracked lips it is also great for cold sores.

    I use and LOVE the Lucas paw paw in a red tube. Yup, it's petroleum based, so it's a no go on my clothie bummed boy. I use a MooGoo product on him, but i'm not sure that would be thick enough for your lips - i guess they would do a more intensive lip cream.
    I'm not sure of any evils of petroleum? Can it be more evil than driving my car?

    Natio lip treatment is fantastic - not sure where it's from though as is was part of a gift set I was given.

    Petroleum-free Paw Paw ointment (the black tube, not the red one) and MooGoo lipbalm. I have tried everything from Carmex to Blistex to Chapstick and nothing has worked for me over the long term like these two products.
