Carmex products have been around since Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in 1937, literally on his family’s stovetop.  Originally created as a salve for chapped lips and cold sores, Woelbing and his wife made Carmex lip balm by hand for over 20 years, pouring it into the familiar yellow-topped jars! The company is now owned and operated by Alfred’s grandsons in Franklin, Wisconsin.

Carmex® Healing Lotion and Carmex® Healing Cream are the newest products from Carmex. I received full-size tubes of both for review, along with a travel size tube of the Healing Lotion. The Healing Lotion is designed for daily use, with aloe and vitamin E to nourish, moisturize, and protect your skin. It’s my favorite of the two because it absorbs quickly, makes my hands feel instantly softer, and has a light fragrance. One of the ingredients in Carmex is camphor, which is what moth balls are scented with, so the scent is one that you kind have have to get used to.

The Carmex Healing Cream is the one you want to get for heavy-duty moisturizing. It’s super-thick, concentrated so you only need to use a small amount,  and has 9 healing ingredients that penetrate and help repair very dry skin.  However, it has a REALLY strong smell. I use it on my feet at night but not on my hands because the smell is just too strong for me. I’ll tell you what though – it works. My heels and the bottoms of my big toes get insanely dry in the winter, and since I started using the Carmex Healing Cream at night, maybe a couple of times a week, I’m seeing a difference already.

Carmex asked what I thought of the packaging – it’s nice to have lotion that isn’t in a white tube for a change! I don’t know who decided that lotion needed to come in white tubes and bottles, but the pretty yellow Carmex tubes stand out on my shelf and make me more likely to reach for them!

Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream are available for $5.99 at Walgreens, Walgreens.com, and drugstore.com. If you’re a fan of the lip balm, I recommend trying the lotion and cream too!
