Vaseline Lip Therapy Original Lip Balm

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Vaseline Lip Therapy Original Lip Balm scores 44/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Original Lip Balm lists 17 ingredients, starting with Octyldodecanol, Microcrystalline Wax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil and Cetyl Palmitate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 44/100 Vaseline Lip Therapy Original Lip Balm lands mid-scale — below the typical score in lip balm & care, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in lip balm & care is Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm - Orange Ginger at 100/100.
