Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick Is a great basic and very affordable drugstore balm. I adore this balm and looking at its ratings on drugstore.com, so do a whole bunch of other people!
The balm, as I said, is very basic. No fancy packaging, no fancy flavors, just plain good moisturizing protection. Here are the ingredients:
Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) Extract, Mineral (Paraffinum Liquidum) Oil, Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcrystallina), Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Fragrance, Carotene (CI 40800)
I think the key to success for this one is the cocoa butter. That makes the balm particularly conditioning without being waxy and it also balances the mineral oil so that the balm is not too light either. It is nice stuff. Look for it in drugstores and at big box retailers.
