My Burt's Bees lip balm lives in my jacket pocket. I reach for it about 8 times a day. The peppermint one has a cooling tingle on first application that fades after a minute into a plain waxy feel keeping my lips from cracking in winter. Recognizable enough that when I pull it out in class, someone always says they have the same one. The tube itself has become a social object at this point. Beeswax formula is simple. Ingredient list fits on the side of a tube barely larger than my thumb. At $3.49 it's cheap enough to lose and replace without caring. I've bought maybe 10 in the last year.
