Carmex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carmex is a topical lip balm which claims to reduce cold sores and dry chapped lips, supplied in a characteristic yellow container. Carmex is manufactured by Carma Laboratories in Franklin, Wisconsin. Its active ingredients include menthol, camphor, and phenol (an anesthetic). Also included are alum, natural lanolin, cocoa butter, a wax base and salicylic acid. Many users find the menthol and camphor produce a cool, soothing sensation when applied. In 2006, Carmex introduced Mint, Cherry, and Strawberry flavored varieties.
