Lip Balm Berry

Methodology

Over a consecutive 3 day period, 12 male and female subjects between the ages of 19 to 44 applied Flexitol Lip Balm on their dry lips four times a day. This test was performed to measure whether there was an increase in hydration levels and was determined by using a Corneometer on days 0, 1 and 3.

Results

The mean values of the Corneometer were analyzed statistically using an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated a positive increase in the moisture level of the lips using the Flexitol Lip Balm.
