This lip balm tasted odd to me- no I wasn't licking it off my lips but still you get the taste of it. I will concede though that I only had to apply it once when I normally slather on a lip balm 3 or 4 times a day
This is an excellent lip balm for those who want to moisturize their lips without adding a heavy gloss feel. Lips feel smooth and less dry after first use.
