“Carmex? lip balm was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20 years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the familiar yellow-capped jars.


Eventually production moved out of the Woelbing home and into a rented facility in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where it remained until the move in 1975 to its current site in Franklin, Wisconsin.


Carma Labs employs about 100 people and is still owned and operated by the family: Alfred’s grandsons Eric and Paul Woelbing. The Woelbing stove is now used for cooking things the family can actually eat.”

First of all, I had no idea that the Carmex factory was literally right outside my back door! That is pretty awesome to find out because that means I’ve been supporting my local economy for years without even knowing it!

As a member of the Carmex Blog Squad, I was sent a nice little kit containing a picnic blanket, Carmex Lime Twist Click Stick and Carmex Vanilla Click Stick. It arrived just like the image above, like a little gift. I love when companies ad that little personal touch!

I am a vanilla kind of girl, so the Carmex Vanilla Stick was my favorite! Here is some more information about it:

I really like the Carmex Vanilla Stick. It has the taste of the regular Carmex, with a little hint of vanilla. It is extremely moisturizing and lasts for quite a long time. The packaging is more appealing because of the little flowers on it and the tube actually makes a “clicking” sound when you twist it. That’s such a great feature because then you don’t have to worry about over-clicking!
