It’s true that everyone you know who uses lip balm REALLY uses lip balm. We’ve all heard the myth that many lip balms contain ingredients that keep lips chapped and therefore always in need of moisturizing. But there’s no scientific evidence to prove this. Experts believe the addictive behavior lip balm users tend to have comes from the psychological effect of having soft, smooth lips. When the lip balm wears off, users used to soft, supple lips lick their lips to hydrate them, which in turn dries them out.

Lip balm in itself is not addictive.
If you look at the list of ingredients you will find out that none of them are harmfull or are considered addictive.
What you might consider addictive is the sensation you feel when you have the lip balm on your lips, the softness, the moisture, and the feeling of not having to worry about your lips cracking.
Otherwise, the product itself is not addictive.

lip balm can be addictive because people often get dry lips or think their lips are dry so they apply lip balm. but it's not really necessary.
some lip balms are just moisturizer and dont do much. they moist ur lips for a while but wear off. try the ones that actually heal ur dry lips. those really help. blistex is a really good brand. chapstick is okay but dont really help
