Lypsyl Honeyberry LypMoisturizer with Pure Swedish Beeswax Review

As a sufferer of chelitis, I've written more than my share of lip protectant reviews.  Some of them are truly five-star products.  LypSyl LypMoisturizer with Pure Swedish Beeswax is even more than that!

I bought my LypSyl stick in the Honeyberry sunscreen formula, paying more than I wanted to because my lips were parched and I had a dental cleaning appointment (ouch!) just days away.  LypSyl took its ultimate test when I sat down in the dental technician's chair.  Everytime I had a chance to rinse my mouth, I reapplied gentle LypSyl.

Mirabile dictu!  I got out of the dentist's without my lower lip cracking or my corners splitting.  Well, there's a lesson in all this no matter which lip product I use.  That lesson is frequent application to prevent additional chapping and to allow my lips to calm down.

LypSyl comes in five formulas and is one of 36 personal care brands purchased by the family-held Lornamead, Inc. established in 1978.*  Like the Yardley London brand also owned by Lornamead, LypSyl has a venerable history dating back to (ja!) Sweden.  It originated there in 1905.

Lornamead has reformulated the LypSyls used in America.  The Honeyberry formula has an SPF 15.  Active ingredients are: Octyl Methoxycinnimate (5%, Sunscreen), Octocrylene (2.0%, Sunscreen) and Oxybenzone (3.5% Sunscreen).  However Lornamead processes it, the LypSyl beeswax smooths on and moisturizes without making my lips feel coated or -- worse -- incased.

LypSyl Honeyberry has the lightest of fragrances.  It comes in a unique, oblong case with a lovely smoothing applicator.  A little honeybee pushes the LypSyl stick up, as needed, via a slot in the side of the case.  The LypSyl name is derived from Swedish which makes me think of the bogus but authentic-sounding Haagen Dazs ice-cream moniker.

As AnnaBanana frequently says, "This one's a real winner!"  I found mine at Walgreen's, and it's worth every penny I spent.

JA!

* I'm going to write Lornamead and suggest they take the discontinued Paquin Plus Hand Cream recipe off Johnson and Johnson's hands.
