My lips feel drier after using some lip balms. Will this do the same thing?

Lucas Papaw uses a petroleum jelly base that seals moisture in, unlike wax balms that evaporate. Apply a thick layer, not a thin swipe. For driest lips, coat generously before bed as an overnight mask. Thicker application gives better results.

Does it have a strong smell? I'm sensitive to fragrances.

No artificial fragrance. The mild, natural scent comes from fermented Carica Papaya fruit and fades within seconds of application. No perfumes, no essential oil blends, no synthetic scent. What you smell is the papaw itself.

Is the tube really small? How long does it last?

Four sizes: 15g tube with lip applicator (pocket-size), 25g tube (handbag-size), 75g jar (home use), and 200g jar (family size). A 25g tube lasts 4 to 8 weeks with daily lip use. Multi-packs are available in every size.

What is in the formula? Can I use it on sensitive skin and babies?

Active ingredient: fermented Carica Papaya (39mg/g) in pharmaceutical-grade petroleum jelly with gum balsam Peru. No parabens, no artificial colors, no SLS, no palm oil. Parents use it on babies. Listed on Australia's Therapeutic Goods Register.

How is this different from plain petroleum jelly?

Hundreds of fresh A-grade papaws from Far North Queensland are fermented to concentrate the fruit enzymes, then blended into the petroleum base. Plain petroleum jelly is a barrier only. This adds papaya enzymes to that barrier.
