- Cannot be used by those who have soy or Peanut allergy, according to WebMD, People who are allergic to peanuts, soybeans and other plants that are members of the Fabaceae/Leguminosae family might also be allergic to soybean oil.
- The tin packing in itself is a disadvantage because you have to dig your finger into balm before application. Thus you have to make sure that your fingers are clean and dry before using this lip balm.
