Pesach Chapped Lips

On a regular day I slather my lips with chap stick, Vaseline and of course laneige lip mask. With all that my lips still tend to dry and peel. I avoid lipstick since I’ve noticed it makes it worse. I am wondering if there is anything I can do over the upcoming 3 day yom tov. The wine dries me out more (assuming it’s the wine) and I find my lips to be particularly dry and peel a lot over Pesach. In the past I would put a glop of Vaseline on my lips without rubbing it in before going to sleep which helped somewhat but I recently saw a Halacha post which made me realize it’s not so ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions? After three days, my lips are going to be in baaad shape.

I have a bottle of jojoba oil for YT (Thanks Frantic Frummie. You still on here?) I find it wonderful on my skin and I often dab a drop on my lips. A little goes a long way.

You put this on your lips? Does it get in your mouth?

You can rub oil on your face on Yom tov?

Second this. Liquid lanolin, jojoba, or even vitamin E oil.

Aquaphor spray is good too but def don't spray it on your face/lips - you’ll get a face full of butane. I spray on my hands and let the bubbles go away, then put it on my lips.

I just use the aquaphor spray on the back of my hand and transfer to my lips. I also use vitamin e oil but mine has stuff added so I don't use it on pesach

I don't know if it's KLP but I used to have a roll on lip gloss where the gloss was totally liquid, which I was told I could use on Shabbos. The same idea as a roll on deodorant, but for lips.

I asked 2 different ravs on this for shabbos use because I was on a medication that dried my lips so bad. I put a glob of Vaseline on a piece of aluminum foil and dab it making sure I bring my lips to the foil and not the other way. Both ravs said this was permissible for anyone.

From what I learned even after but specifically Vaseline because it’s not refuah as it’s not a healing ointment only a soothing method if that makes sense.

It’s not so simple halachically. This is from Shulchan Aruch Harav but I saw similar elsewhere:
May one smear oil on cracked or dry skin, such as chapped lips?[11]

No, as this is clearly evident that it is being done for healing purposes. However, one may smear the oil near the dried skin, and have it flow onto the dry area, as explained above. [Thus, for dried lips, one may eat a vegetable dipped in oil and thus consequently oil his lips.]

Which brand is usable on lips on Pesach (Chol Hamoed only I assume)?

Amazon has this one that has 50,000 ratings.

Has anyone asked a Rov if this or another Jojoba Oil is ok for lips year round and/or Pesach?
