Pucker up for Blistex's newest lip protection balm

OAK BROOK, Ill. Blistex last week launched its Five Star Lip Protection lip balm as an all-weather, all-season lip balm, keeping lips covered in all weather conditions.

The new lip balm contains an advanced formula that includes glycerin, an ingredient that retains moisture in dry air by pulling in up to 20% of its weight in water from the surrounding environment; candelilla, an ingredient that forms a barrier against moisture-robbing wind; wheat germ oil, which rehydrates heat-stressed lips; calendula oil to help soothe and heal cold-chapped lips that result from colds and the winter months; and four sunscreens that provide a broad spectrum SPF 30 UVA/UVB for year-round sun protection as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

Suggested retail price falls between $1.59 and $2.49.
