We’re still tracking retailers for this one. In the meantime:
Avène's heritage lip balm — and one of the most-prescribed lip products in French dermatology offices for severely dry, cracked, or post-procedure lips. The formula is a Cold Cream-style emulsion in a tube format: beeswax and hydrogenated castor oil form the occlusive seal, glycerin and squalane handle the deeper lipid restoration, and Avène's thermal spring water provides the soothing anti-inflammatory action.
