Common questions

Is blistex healthy?

blistex scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in blistex?

blistex lists 25 ingredients, starting with Beeswax, Camphor, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetyl Palmitate and Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera Wax). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does blistex contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in blistex’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is blistex?

blistex has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does blistex compare to other lip balm & care?

At 15/100 blistex scores worse than most lip balm & care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in lip balm & care is Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm - Orange Ginger at 100/100.

blistex is not certified organic in our data.
