Product Review: Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm

Nina Rotz
Tea tree oil is one of my favorite beauty product ingredients. I have done a lot of research as a freelance writer on the benefits of tea tree oil. I know about its natural antiseptic, germicide, antibacterial and fungicide properties. Tea tree oil has never disappointed me as a consumer. Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm caught my attention because of its name.

Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm contains the following ingredients: Castor oil USP, beeswax, cetyl alcohol, meadow foam seed oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, tea tree oil, silica and butylparaben.

I was disappointed that Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm contains no SPF. I wish Swanson would add SPF to this product.

Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm Review: Scent, Shine and Feel
Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm has a very mild and fresh scent to it. I can describe it as minty but it is very delicate and not overpowering. Both my husband and I found the scent appealing. My husband thought that Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm would make a great chapstick for a man because it did not smell feminine.

I like the mild shine of Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm. I could wear it by itself during the day without too much notice or I could cover it up with a layer of my favorite lip-gloss at nighttime.

My favorite feature of Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm is the lack of greasiness. I do not like greasy or soft lip balms that look goopy and sticky on my lips. Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm leaves my lips feeling soft without greasiness. I also found it easy to store the lip balm in my car, purse or pocket. Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm did not melt or deteriorate in hot or cold temperatures. The lip balm contained a firm consistency and glided on my lips with ease.

Swanson Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm Review: Efficacy
My skin is sensitive and my lips are no exception. My lips become dry and cracked in extreme temperatures. Ladies know that this is the worst beauty issue to deal with. No amount of lip ointment, buffers or chapstick will get rid of the problem. Which also causes lip-gloss, lipstick and other lip products to appear not as beautiful? Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm protected my lips well in cold winter months. In fact, I have no had a problem with dry or cracked lips this winter thanks to this lip balm product.

I applied Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm to my lips once a day. I did not have to constantly re-apply, as I have been doing with other store bought lip products. One application in the morning would provide enough lasting effects throughout the day.

I have used the product for several months and the tube is nowhere near empty. Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm is a good value and priced affordably. A tube of Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm costs $1.99 at swansonvitamins.com. Swanson Health Products do not sell in stores, but are available online or through their catalog.

Swanson Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm Review: Product Recommendation
I would recommend Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm to men and women. The product did wonders on my sensitive lips and provided good protection in cold weather. I expect it to provide the same level of protection in scorching summer months. I look forward to using Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm year round.

Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm has become my favorite beauty product of the season. I could not go a day without it. I plan to purchase Swanson Premium Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm as a stocking stuffer for friends and family, because it has proven to be a product with many benefits.
