Lip, Body and Other Salve Set: Originally developed to prevent blisters on poor soldiers feets, this wonder salve is mostly being used as a lip-balm today. ‘Mostly’ also refers to ‘Most of the swedish population’. It is “the” lip balm – there really is nothing else competing with it’s popularity over the years and understandably so: It tastes good! It works as advertised, and it has a long range of uses: in swedish military-service, soldiers are instructed to use this to fry with in case there is nothing else and should harsh days pass without food, well, maybe not as tasty as a burger, it would keep you from dying… Also useable as bike-chain-oil, a candle (if melted between fingers and molded around a wick) and in severe cases some sort of hair-goo to get that terrible doo in shape. It contains, amongst other types of oils and fat, peanut-oil, so nut-allergics should avoid this.
Oh, I want one! Just alone the unusual/typographic packaging makes me want one. But then the explanatory copy put me over the edge. Lip balm gone bike-chain-oil, gone hair-goo….? Interesting. Go swedes!
Available at Salvor Kiosk

this is the dumbest comment ever, but…i should note that peanuts are not nuts, but legumes. so even those allergic to nuts could enjoy lubing up their bike chains and licking their fingertips afterward!

Hehe, nice. You can get it everywhere here in Sweden, and it’s actually quite good.
When I did the military service we used it a lot!

I just returned home from Sweden two weeks ago…I bought so much of this stuff! It is the best product around, tasty and perfect for your lips. All of my friends here in America absolutely love it. I’m not sure what I will do when my stockpile runs out!

Hey I’m a job corps student in Curlew Washington now days, originally from Eugene, Oregon. I’m not use to the climate so I been getting pretty messed up from it. I wanted to see if any of you could help me acquire some of this? I found one website with it and it would cost me 50$ a tube due to shipping. Replies appreciated! Thx!
