Anything with petroletum (petrolium jelly, mineral oil, whatever--it's all the same stuff and you can probably guess by the name where it actually comes from: the oil that comes out of the ground) dries your skin. It feels great going on, but the reason people get "addicted" to lip balms is because they actually dry your lips out over time, not moisturize them.
I usually use a hemp oil lip balm that I get from the co-op.
