Holy Grail lip care/balm

I am a chronic lip licker and my go to for several years has been Nuxe Rive de Miel (or however it’s spelled) It kept my lips hydrated and I rarely had flare ups or chapped lips.
The last few months, my lips have been terrible! It’s probably hormonal, I’m peri menopausal and on HRT.
My lips are so, so sore. The Nuxe isn’t cutting it.
I’ve got some aquaphor at the moment which is barely helping.
Please can I have some recommendations!
Vaseline/Carmex/Burts are all out.

Any high end recs welcome - I’d pay anything for relief!

Defo Blisteze, the medicated one in the tiny metal tube. It can be difficult to get hold of now though. I've tried everything over the years and many products make my lips worse and give me coldsores!

Cold sores are...or dare I say were... my enemy.
The sun caused break out's and certain lip balms only added to it, they're were so bad my lips are scarred.

For me finding Burt Bees original a few years ago has made all the difference. I can use it anytime and no break outs.
