Lip balm or lip salve is a wax-like substance applied topically to the lips of the mouth to moisturize and relieve chapped or dry lips, angular cheilitis, stomatitis, or cold sores.

Lip balm often contains beeswax or carnauba wax, camphor, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, paraffin, and petrolatum, among other ingredients.

Some varieties contain dyes, flavor, fragrance, phenol, salicylic acid, and sunscreens.

Cosmetics, also known as make-up, are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance or fragrance of the body.

Many cosmetics are designed for use of applying to the face and hair.

They are generally mixtures of chemical compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as coconut oil), and some being synthetics.

Common cosmetics include lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge, skin cleansers and skin lotions, shampoo, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc), perfume and cologne.

Liniment (or embrocation), from the Latin linere, to anoint, is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin.

Sometimes called balms or heat rubs, liniments are of a similar or lesser viscosity than lotions and are rubbed in to create friction, unlike lotions, ointments or creams, but patches, sticks and sprays are also available.

Moisturizers or emollients are complex mixtures of chemical agents specially designed to make the external layers of the skin (epidermis) softer and more pliable.

They increase the skin's hydration (water content) by reducing evaporation.

Naturally occurring skin lipids and sterols, as well as artificial or natural oils, humectants, emollients, lubricants, etc., may be part of the composition of commercial skin moisturizers.

They usually are available as commercial products for cosmetic and therapeutic uses, but can also be made at home using common pharmacy ingredients.

A lotion is a low-viscosity topical preparation intended for application to unbroken skin.

By contrast, creams and gels have higher viscosity.
