      So my dermatologist said that all chapsticks do is make your lips drier in the long run. She said simple petroleum jelly is better for you.

        Apparently it is just the ones containing menthol, salicylic acid, alcohols, camphor, or some fragrances. Apparently some chap sticks have petroleum jelly as an ingredient too.
