Answers:
It is the petroleum in chap stick!. It makes your lips feel good while it is on your lips but in the long run dries them out pretty bad making you reach for more and more chap stick!. If you buy petroleum free it will moisturize your lips and not leave you feeling like you constantly need more!. My favorite brands and Kiss Your Face and Badger but even Chapstick brand make a natural now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most definitly, I have one brand Hawiian Tropic that I must have all the time i out in one at least once an hour sometimes more , but there is something in there that when I can't get to mine I feel like I'm going to bite my lips off!. The only time of year I can find mine for sale is when they put out suntan lotion and I have to buy sometimes 8-10 tubes to last me till the next year, I have them everywhere, on my keys desk in the kitchen, car, bathroom under my pillow, I can't sleep until I put it on and I put it on as soon as I wake up!. But hey I have really soft kissable lips, my husband really loves themWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ya know I heard of that too!. Where I live now when I first moved here 13 yrs ago everyone I seen had a chap stick, or
some damn carmex!. I asked this one girl why does everyone here have carmex, I thought is was just a fad or something she told me b/c the air here is so dry and that it keeps your lips chapped!. She didn't lie about that, I keep me a chap stick !. Lmao!. But I'm not addicted to mine, I lick my lips a lot, so I keep them moist!. So it is possible, cause here it's Carmex crazy!. I truly believe these PPL are seriously addicted to Carmex and lip balm!. ROTFCTHU!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

LOL! Well, this could explain why I'm hooked!. Burt's Bees must also include the same chemical in theirs!.!.!.

I doubt it's true- It would get yanked off the market and the company would be sued by two-thirds of the country!. I think we just all THINK we're addicted, because our lips are just so much smoother with a little flavored, scented wax spread over them!

Where's my chapstick anyway!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Addiction does not only apply to drugs!. It can apply to nearly anything! Addiction can merely be a personality and not obsessive compulsive!. However, you might want to look up this so-call "addictive chemical!." It's probably just a myth!. Petroleum, perhaps!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't know wether theres a chemical in it!.
I think people just say it because you get used to having softer lips and prefer it so you just use chapstick alot more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It isn't that you get addicted!. It is that the chemicals in it can make your lips feel drier which means you end up using more and using it more often!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

theres no addictive additives in chapstick!. its just a habit people form, especially if you use it daily!. no worries :)
