Liquorice Balm

Product Information

It is packed with conditioning ingredients like cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter and olive oil, all of which are known for their moisturizing properties. It's why doctors warn people not to kiss young babies when they have a cold sore after reports of infants dying from a brain infection. Since she started using the lip balm, Sarah claims she has gone from having cold sores every four to six weeks to now only getting them twice a year.

Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . As I am not a sufferer I can’t actually test it, but it’s a very pleasant lip balm to use and looks and feels like a regular lip balm.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The rescue lip gel can be applied before symptoms arise in situations that increase the risk of getting a cold sore. At first it feels and looks really good, however it starts to dry up really quickly, you can feel it!

Additionally, a study carried out by the Herpes Virus Association found that balm containing a highly concentrated liquorice extract helps protect the lips from cold sores. Toni went on to explain how she used to go to the doctors a lot about them, but says there was very little available by way of treatment.

I was so fearful of contaminating her with the virus that I did not kiss her properly for weeks after she was born.

It's lovely, stays moist and helps to plump, without the tingling that you get with some other brands.

Miss Faulkner says she was advised by a friend of my mother's who also gets cold sores to try a lip balm containing an extract of liquorice. Cold sores are itchy before they start to show, usually around the lips and under the nose and give you some warning before they start to show. Unlike conventional treatments, due to its naturally derived ingredients, LipQ Liquorice Balm can be worn daily even between cold sore outbreaks without any negative side-effects as a preventative measure for protecting against cold sores.
