For years I've heard about "lip balm addicts" but never became one till I discovered Cherry Ice (now called Natural ice). I was so bummed that the little pharmacy I used to buy it from, closed, and I couldn't find it anywhere. I even tried to contact the Mentholatum company to find out where I could get it but didn't hear back. Turns out, they just changed the name (I had to find this out from online discussion groups of people who were just as bummed as I was that it was now so hard to find).I have looked in every Walgreens for it but for some reason I can't figure out, they don't carry the cherry one (just the SPF one and MAYBE the green one which I think is mint). I'm planning to call and or write Walgreens and bug them till they stock Cherry Ice, dammit. They have WAY too many flavors of chapstick and inferior lip balms that need to move over and make way for Cherry Ice, as it is truly the best stuff out there. It's super smooth (carmex and chapstick are GOOEY compared to this stuff) and has just the riiiight amount of "cool." I've recommended it to all my friends and have even bought it for people. Seriously. Go get it. Now.Oh and by the way, if there is a walgreens in your area and you'd like to request that they carry it, here is the link for their online product request form: http://www.walgreens.com/contactus/forms.jsp. Why it's not already in Walgreens is something I'm still trying to figure out!
Buy Mentholatum Natural Ice Lip Protectant SPF 15, Cherry Flavor, 0.16-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 12) Now
I have been using this lip balm for years. And like many other reviewers, have found it hard to find in local stores. Thank goodness for amazon and the 12-pack box! When you have that wind burned, chapped feeling, just put on a little Cherry Ice and you'll feel it start working. Been blowing your nose too much and have a bit of Kleenex rash? Just put a little Cherry Ice on your finger and rub it on. Don't waste more time and money with ordinary, waxy balms that really don't fix the problem. We keep them in our coat pockets, ski jackets, cars, purses and nightstands, plus back-ups in the hall closet. Highly recommended!I LOVE this chapstick!Unfortunately, it is difficult to find where I live. :(It has this great menthol and cherry flavor going on and it super-smooth on your lips.
Highly recommend this product.It seems like I have tried every lip balm on the market (seriously) and Mentholatum's Natural Ice chapsticks are the only lip balms I buy, because they are the only ones that 1-actually work and 2-don't just leave my lips feeling like I covered them with a waxy coating, trapping in all the dehydration and discomfort. The medicated menthol soothes (gives that icy-cool feeling) and moisturizes without making them even drier in the future. One application immediately starts to heal the chapping.The SPF is a plus; if I apply liberally for outdoor activities (ie beach), I don't get sun-related cold sores and such. It's not glossy, so my husband uses it too and is hooked. The Cherry flavor is my favorite, but the Original Natural Ice does the trick just as well, so flavor is just a preference and not a quality changer. I have never tried the "Sport" version, however. This product apparently is not available in my local stores anymore, so the only way I can get it is by ordering it online. That's okay, I don't mind being stocked up on this stuff; I always have a tube on hand, which is key because I use this stuff CONSTANTLY. And the price is pretty competitive here anyway. I'm so in love with my chapstick now that I won't even experiment with another lip balm ever again, and it's nice knowing I don't have to waste money on a mystery product, hoping it's decent.
