Hi Lisa, getting sudden allergies is normal. I developed an allergy to walnuts and fresh pineapple and the allergies lasted for about two decades. The symptoms were face and body rashes that were equivalent to a bad skin burn. Eventually enough time passed and I am no longer allergic to walnuts and fresh pineapple.

I can give you two recommendations for lip balm. One is a lip balm made with macadamia nut and kukui oils, along with white beeswax, coconut oil, castor oil, avacado oil, jajoba oil and vitamin E. You have to do a search to find a maker who uses that combination. It is an excellent lip balm. The second is a French lip balm, called Amilab. I don't know the ingredients, but it is a real high end lip balm that provides excellent protection. I am pretty certain the two lip balms I mentioned do not contain peppermint oil.
