Best moisturising lip balm ever?
Simple question: best moisturising lip balm for flights?
None of that lip-coating barrier stuff, I need something amazing to hydrate my lips for an upcoming 26-hour stint.
Mainly because after a dehydrated 3-hour Ukraine flight my lips have been destroyed beyond belief.

Of all the free stuff I collect in airline amenity kits, Kiehl's is the best with Murad running a close second. Carmex makes my lips tingle and can cause breakouts.

Not sure if this what you are looking for, but it has worked wonders for me on flights for years.

And then I use this after my flights for a few days to stop them cracking or becoming sore.

Alba botanica... not sure if they sell it in the UK though. Having lived in Phoenix for 10 years now I've tried just about every lip balm given the extreme heat and dry climate, and it's very effective.

I find a thin coating of vaseline works well. The only thing to remember is less is more. It coats the lips and protects them from drying out, rather than being absorbed.
I switched to this after my lips started reacting to regular lip balms.
If you don't feel self conscious, or are on an Asia bound flight, surgical face masks help keep some of the moisture in and prevent your mouth/nose drying out while asleep. JAL have top quality masks available on request.

I asked this question some years ago and it got me onto Labello, which I make a point of seeking out when I'm in Europe. ^

Keeps my lips hydrated 12hrs +.
Not icky, sticky or weird flavor/color.
Defintely a fan.
