Carmex in the tiny jars is the only way to go.

Tp knows Bbees has other flavors?

I'm loving the mango flavor. Not exactly true mango taste, but close enough.

Haha.. yea... but it seems the only one actually made with (mostly beeswax) is the Original one..  where the beeswax is the first ingredient,  it falls to the 3rd ingredient after vegetable oils on the other flavors.

Does that matter? I mean, if we're buying bee's, should beeswax be the main.. I guess that prolly doesn't matter

Well.. either way.. have you tried both.. do they work equivalently? what's the compare on texture.?

I shall mess with my peppermint I have lying around.. Will update in a few.

After much scientific trial. The peppermint seems stiffer and feels like it goes on lighter on my lips than the mango. The last time I've used the peppermint was a few months ago seeing as how I've been using the mango or the chapstick that I take to work instead of Bbees. I can totes test throughout the week though and write down findings.

Hmmm this peppermint feels stiffer on my lips after a while...

Hrrrrmmmm... well the main ingredient in the mango are 2 vegi oils.. instead of the wax in the peppermint..

The vegi-oil version is smoother it seems. hrrrmmm
