I used EOS for like, 3 days. My lips got so chapped and dry and gross- apparently was not paying attention at the time though and missed this entirely. Took almost a month to get my lips back to normal, but my sister was using the same thing so I figured it was just me. Only thing I've ever used that did that though and I've never met a lip product I did not want to try.

Amen. I have terrible skin allergies, so I tend to get reactions from many essential oils/scents/certain other related things, so things that may be just fine for 99% of people are probably going to not work great for me. And that's okay. It's how the human body works. Plus, most people don't bother thinking about the fact that all those "dangerous chemicals" are also naturally occurring...they just don't generally get mentioned as ingredients in natural things because it would be a lot of work to break down every single thing out there and give a chemical makeup of it.

I was one that had an allergic reaction. I was 15 and stupid. I had the summer fruit one first that gave me rashes so then to fix it I got the "Medicated" Tangerine one. It only got more worse. I eventually went to a dermatologist who gave me some medicine (it was this neon green goop) as well said to use the "Medicated" lip balm since at the time I didn't connect the two for the reaction. It started to get better with the medicine but when I switched lip balms, because I ran out, my lips healed so fast. Thats when I realized what it was. My bet is that on all their lip balms it says "flavors" as an ingredient with no other information. I think it was that to cause the rashes. I'm more mad at the one that was labeled "Medicated" and was definitely not. That does feel wrong. I also wish I knew about the lawsuit haha. I only use Aquaphor as a lip balm now and I have a fear of others.

Do you remember the sub-trend of making “lipstick” with crayons? This was around the time that the FDA released a study of hundreds of lipsticks to determine the lead levels in cosmetics. The idea was that crayons are non-toxic so you should use them as a pigmenting product in home-made lipstick, which is pretty bonkers when ACTUAL LIPSTICK is a non-toxic product formulated to be applied to the lips with the assumption that small amounts would be ingested. Crayola even released a statement saying this was a bad idea, that crayons aren’t intended to be used this way, and even if they’re non-toxic they are not supposed to be applied to the skin or ingested.

@@briciolaa Someone mentioned this before, but skin products usually say “test on a small patch of skin before using. Discontinue if allergic reactions occur.” Technically, if the person didn’t follow this and the packaging had this instruction written on it, it’s legally not the company’s fault that they didn’t follow instructions on how to use the product. So the company wouldn’t be considered responsible if you didn’t do what you were supposed to before slathering yourself in their product-which is to check if you were one of the few people who are allergic to any of the ingredients first by doing a test patch. However, I think the case would be much stronger if the ingredient she was allergic to *wasn’t* listed in the ingredients list. Like she knew was allergic to it, looked for it, didn’t see it, and then concluded it was safe for her to use.

Should my mom have sued Tide because I broke out in hives after she washed my clothes in it? Unless the reaction was caused due to company negligence or error (ex, the product was contaminated, there was some kind of factory error), it's on the consumer. How can you blame someone else for not knowing you had an allergy? Ridiculous.

I have zero allergies, so if others who also have no allergies were reacting to it too, you gotta consider that maybe rather than blame the people who suffered from it, maaaaybe the company should look into it more. IMO, there was definitely something irritating in it that was technically legal to include, and an opportunity to help improve FDA standards was missed (working with them to try to isolate what was causing all the complaints).

So after a couple of months. I decided to give it a second chance. The reaction was the same! Now I understood that this sunscreen contains some kind of oils and flower extracts.

@@DracoMetorHD the *idea* surrounding "all-natural" products is bad. Saying something is "natural" is generally imagined to be an automatic positive, but this is fallacious thinking (naturalistic fallacy, to be precise) because natural does NOT actually equal better. Plenty of things that exist in nature are also dangerous, harmful, and fatal to human beings. Does that make sense? A product can be "all natural" perhaps and also be good. All natural doesn't mean bad. It just means you should raise your eyebrows in skepticism and not automatically assume that it is better

I had the exact same reaction to the peach and vanilla scented/flavoured Nivea lip balm , and 3 years later, I still suffer occasional side effects such as flair ups of angular cheilitis and perioral dermatitis. I went to a dermatologist who told me that once these kinds of conditions have been triggered by something they can reoccur randomly for the rest of your life D: Luckily, the flair ups are now few and far between and a lot less severe than they were for the first year or so, but it has definitely taught me not to buy any skincare just because of its pretty smell and packaging!

I fully support making ingredients clear and easy to see, so that customers can make informed decisions. I looked up the lip balm in question and easily found ingredients on their website. Nothing on there that would give me any concerns for my own skin, but, as I say, everyone is different. If someone is unfortunate enough to have an allergic reaction, they can look at the list, check it against things they are fine with, and they've made a good start in identifying a sensitivity and understanding better how their body works.

I bought an EOS one night and used it once, maybe twice (I didn’t buy it cus it was popular so I wasn’t over applying it to look cool lol). The next day my lips were super irritated, cracked, and swollen. I have an allergy to topical vitamin E and I assumed that even though their ingredients don’t mention use of vitamin E, that they had it in there and that’s why I had a reaction, but this was waaay different from any of the other reactions I’ve had. It lasted about 3-4 weeks and made life miserable; I couldn’t open my mouth all the way, my lips didn’t make moisture on their own anymore, and they itched horribly. The weird thing is that even though I could use chapsticks before the EOS incident, I can’t now. Ever since then, if I try to use anything on my lips that isn’t just petroleum jelly, my skin will react horribly again. Guess I missed out on 4K lol

I'm not sure on what the ingredients list of EOS looks like but you may not have recognized the name for vitamin E in the list because it often goes by the chemical name in skincare ingredients lists! This is just based off my own experience since I try to choose lotions with more vitamin E in them I quickly learned that when looking on the back of products vitamin E was almost always listed as Tocopheryl Acetate, I believe. Just for future reference if anyone wants to avoid vitamin E or get more of it, that's at least one form that it can take in a product!

I can't remember where I read this, but I remember seeing a lot of people complaining about mold and severe mold reactions from EOS lip balms. Beauty products usually have a date by which you should use them once you open them (such as a 6M for six months), but rarely have an actual expiration date. Because EOS products were "all-natural" and didn't have preservatives, they were prone to growing mold while sitting on thr shelf before folks even purchased them.

My parents bought EOS lipbalms for me as a kid because I always had chapped lips. I ended up having almost the exact same reactions as the people in the video except that the reaction wasn't very noticeable visibly. So, since I was a kid, I hid the lipbalms every time my parents got me new ones instead of telling them what was going on. I was in so much pain, my lips were extremely sore and itchy, and the skin would peel off as if they were super dry (they weren't). It hurt so, so, so badly. Years later I found out the products have shea butter (an allergen) in them. This was because they were in some packaging with an ingredient label on them. If I recall correctly, the lipbalms didn't have any ingredient labels on them in my childhood at all, and the individual lipbalms in that packaging didn't have any either. Now, I'm not even sure if the shea butter is to blame because this is the only product with shea butter in it I have had an observable allergic reaction to. Ever. That lawsuit was deserved. The product caused me so much suffering because I didn't know any better to stop using it.

Wow this happened to me as well back when I was using it in 2010-2011. My lips were even swollen and blister with little bumps and I had no idea why so I pile on the lip balm even more because my lips were cracking. It took me around 6m to realize that it was because of the eos lip balm and I stopped using it. Then my lips healed. I never even knew i can complain. I notice that I have similar but less severe reaction using beeswax in lip balm. So I’ve been avoiding all lip balms with it and as you know majority of lip balm has it as a product. My only choices are either Vaseline, Aquaphor, Cerave ointment or vegan lip balm, since beeswax is not vegan.

I also can't use lip products with beeswax. I can see small blisters around my mouth popping up together with redness within 12 hours. Interestingly, I get the same reaction when I use lip products with synthetic beeswax or synthetic wax. The reaction is not so severe but just can't use the product regularly. So vegan does not necessarily indicate that I will be able to use the product. And it sucks because there are so many lipsticks that I cannot use and I have to be careful with any creamy makeup products in general. I especially cannot find a suitable lip liner or pencil eye liner.

My parents bought EOS lipbalms for me as a kid because I always had chapped lips. I ended up having almost the exact same reactions as the people in the video except that the reaction wasn't very noticeable visibly. So, since I was a kid, I hid the lipbalms every time my parents got me new ones instead of telling them what was going on. I was in so much pain, my lips were extremely sore and itchy, and the skin would peel off as if they were super dry (they weren't). It hurt so, so, so badly. Years later I found out the products have shea butter (an allergen) in them. This was because they were in some packaging with an ingredient label on them. If I recall correctly, the lipbalms didn't have any ingredient labels on them in my childhood at all, and the individual lipbalms in that packaging didn't have any either. Now, I'm not even sure if the shea butter is to blame because this is the only product with shea butter in it I have had an observable allergic reaction to. Ever. That lawsuit was deserved. The product caused me so much suffering because I didn't know any better to stop using it.

@@me9981 Well I think the shea butter might be partially to blame. I'm allergic to pretty much every nut out there. I've accidentally used products with shea butter in the past, but I don't remember having a reaction. I always check the ingredient labels on things to make sure I'm not using anything with stuff I'm allergic to, and a few times I checked after using the product (like lotion or food). Every time that's happened I washed it off/ spit it out immediately, so there wasn't really any time for a reaction to take place to be fair. The difference with EOS lipbalm was that they never had ingredient labels or even allergy warnings on them, so my parents had no idea. And yes. I was hiding them under the couch cushions and places like that to have an excuse to not use them. If they found them I would just say that I lost it. I was really young.

I could only have one color and then I couldn't use their products at all. That's kind of what made me so skeptical when that person said that their lip balm had no allergens in it.

Ugh I remember those stupid round lip balms! I didn’t like them, I didn’t even think they worked that well, they just felt waxy to me. I even got one as a Christmas gift from a friend and had to pretend to love it 😭 This sounds similar to a reaction I had to the too faced lip injection lip plumper… except my reaction was much much worse 😭 it started as two little sores in the corners of my mouth, then my WHOLE mouth just completely chapped. My lips were cracked and bleeding and completely scabbed over, I had to use neosporin as lip balm for a week 😭

I also found it waxy. For me it was also incredibly drying 😭 a sign of a good lip balm is not having to use it more than once or twice a day. I found myself using it every 10 mins bc it just dried my lips out.

It's so interesting that James did a video about eos. I didn't know there was lawsuit haha, but I did experience burns on my lips after using one of the eos balms. They are very drying too, however cute, the fact stands that they're products aren't that great.

Please talk about Topical Steroid Withdrawal in your new series! You could bring SO SO much awareness to this problem and save a lot of people from needless suffering.
