Adding "flavored" lip balms for summer - trying to decide whether to sweeten or not....
Which do you and/or your customers prefer?

I and my customers prefer unsweetened. When they're sweetened, you tend to lick your lips more, which dries out our lips. So to me it seems like it's defeating the purpose of using a lip balm.

I have two that aren't and the rest that are sweetened.

I prefer unsweetened. Not sure about whether my customers might prefer sweetened since I've never offered it, but response has always been positive.

I've done both, but going forward not going to sweeten. I agree...sweet makes people eat it off the lips and then they may miss how great your balm is!

I prefer unsweetened

I have had to force myself to switch to unsweetened for the above mentioned reasons. I have a lip-licking problem as it is lol.

I use castor oil in my lip balms, so I use a teensy bit to get rid of the awfal taste that castor oil has. If I over do it I end up licking my lips and my lips get dry!
