I have been using this product since 2013. Himalaya lip balm is an ayurvedic proprietary medicine, enriched with Wheatgerm oil and carrot seed oil that nourishes lips, prevents drying and chopping. It has 100% herbal activities. It’s hypo allergic product without any harmful chemicals. Some of my friends had pigmented lips. I suggested them to use this product and now they are happy with the results. It doesn’t interface with your lip color and can be used as a base under any lip grooming product. I feel it’s an achievement for such an inexpensive product.!
