- Oriflame Sweden Tender Care Protecting Balm
The Tender Care Protecting Balm from Oriflame Sweden is really a multipurpose balm. First launched in 1980, the formula has stayed the same until today. Consisting of beeswax and vitamin E, the balm can be applied to your lips, elbows, face, cuticles, or any other area that needs extra moisture. It soaks into your skin well, so frequent reapplications are not needed. The lip balm is available in several flavors: original, blackcurrant, vanilla, coconut, caramel, cherry, honey and rose. Prices start from Rp 37,000 ($2.77).
- Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Original
If you have severely dry and chapped lips, use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Original. It is a 100-percent pure petroleum jelly that is beneficial for protecting your dry skin by locking in moisture. The multipurpose balm is also useful for eyelashes, dry skin, burnt skin, or minor cuts. It has a soft and slightly oily texture that will not clog your pores. Prices start from Rp 60,000.
- Palmer’s Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter
Palmer’s Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter is effective on your lips. It's formulated with pure cocoa butter, vitamin E and petroleum to soften and soothe your dry and chapped skin.
