Un-petroleum

According to this picture, Un-petroleum will make you dewy fresh....am applying now....I feel...I feel.... well, very dewy. And a little bed headed. That picture does not lie.

My stick of tangerine Un-petroleum has been a jean pocket alternate since last May. The tube is missing the wrapper and the chapstick actually falls out when I open it. But I will still carry it until it is done. It's good.

Price: I bought this one at the L.L. Bean factory outlet in North Conway, N.H. I remember it vividly. The bright orange box next to the register, begging me to impulse buy it. "Alright, little guy, you're mine now." I said to him. And off we went to climb Mt. Washington. Together. Oh, I think it was about $2.50.


Glide: Great glide.

Flavor/ Smell: The tangerine tube makes me "long for sweet fruit." It smells so freshly delicious, that I have almost eaten it or thought about juicing it.

Lasting Power: Average. It needs to be applied frequently, but I think this may because it smells so damn good.

Appearance: At first, the bright orange tube with it's scribbly white text is delightful. After almost a year of pocket closeness my stick is kinda dirty and unidentifiable (to the untrained eye).

Product Plusses: SPF 18, jojoba oil (is that a plus? does it really do anything?), vitamin E, pure plant oil, and even echinacea to "rejuvenate and store."

Kick-ass chapstick.
