Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: The pocket-sized tube is easy to toss in a bag. It melts into skin with a smooth, non-sticky finish.
Skip it if: Sweet, vanilla-leaning scents give you a headache.
The catch: Balms sit close to the skin, so don't expect a big scent cloud. It's designed to pair with the brand's own perfume.
