Natural (if poss) lipbalm which is as good as Kiehls?

As the title says, I'm after a natural (if possible) lipbalm which is as moisturising as Kiehls. So far I've tried Korres, Eos, Neutrogena (not natural I know), Akamuti, and Balm Balm, none of which come close.

Which lip balms would you recommend?

I get on well with www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=1676 but I've never tried Kiehls so can't compare.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I've tried Carmex and the tingliness irritated my lips and made them sore.

Am off to investigate Burts Bees and the Manuka one.

Thank you.

Any more ideas gratefully received.

Figs and Rouge I like the Rose one but there are a few different scents. It's organic and I use it as a moisturiser for elbows/cuticles etc. You cam buy it in Boots as well as online. It's gorgeous.

I use everything balm by trilogy, here this stuff is pure genius. You can use it anywhere and will sort out dry skin, chapped lips, sun burn, razor burn, etc etc etc...

I love it.Grin

OOh I'm liking these suggestions. I think I might buy a selection of things.

In the meantime I have some Lansinoh left somewhere, so I'll give it a go. I love the packaging on Figs and Rouge, and think the pawpaw stuff looks good too- which brand do you use?

I use Trilogy moisturiser already, so will give the balm a go too.

Thank you all for being so helpful.

I've got the Simmons pawpaw ointment. It has a natural oils/ waxes base- rather than petroleum jelly base. Lots of things have "natural ingredients" but still have a petroleum jelly base. The product info page has the ingredients. I love it- it smells lovely, I use it on the kids, on my hands, a wee bit on the ends of my hair. Honestly I think it's going to be popular...

I like Lucas Paw Paw ointment and Lanolips 101 (but only the natural one, the tinted one is rubbish and a different consistency). www.boots.com/en/Lanolips-101-Ointment-15g_1132900/?CAWELAID=594923543&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines--Google%20Base----_-Lanolips%20101%20Ointment%2015g

Sleepysox, Kiehl's is not natural i'm afraid, it's glorified vaseline, as are Carmex and Luxas Paw Paw- if you want petroleum free, and you like a tube rather than a stick, what about Living Nature?
otherwise there are some others I've tried:

I use carmex the tingling is normal at first because its working on the dry skin that needs to be removed. Its lovely lip balm :) and i promise the tingling will stop very quick.
