Few are those who can honestly say they haven’t at least once dreamed about getting the kind of body they want without having to lift a single finger for it. Experts say this is why “miracle” weight loss products and pills sell so well, as also do books and other materials on diets that promise incredible weight loss in just days. We can now add one more product to the ever-increasing pile, the Burner Balm, a lippy that claims to burn fat.

Just to avoid all kinds of misunderstandings, this is a beauty product: a lipgloss, to be more specific. As such, its primary purpose is to moisturize and keep lips looking as kissable as we like them to be, but it also works in another way by helping us effectively lose weight, the manufacturers promise. Given its unique blend of ingredients the Burner Balm can “burn fat” on the hips and we’d have nothing to do for it but make sure we eat the gloss on our lips.

However, even if we don’t, it still works, manufacturers promise, because the active ingredients in it penetrate the skin and reach the bloodstream even if we avoid licking our lips. This takes longer than if we did, though, it is being pointed out. As creator Dr. Allan Kurtz also points out, the balm can help up shake off the extra pounds with the help of well-known and proven weight loss ingredients such as green tea, caffeine, and Hoodia Gordonii extract, which is also the active ingredient in a similar product we’ve been telling you about a while back, the Huge Lips, Skinny Hips by Purple Lab.

Burner Balm claims to help customers lose about 8 pounds in just a month and the only thing they have to do for it is make sure they constantly apply it to the lips, but not more than 4 to 6 times a day. The gloss acts as an energy booster and curbs appetite and cravings, while also relieving the sensation of exhaustion, all thanks to the aforementioned ingredients.

“The science behind the Burner Balm product lines are simple, Green Tea, Hoodia, Chromium Picolinate & Caffeine have all been proven for many years to be effective as dietary supplements. When these ingredients are blended together as extracts into our flavored lip balm they become not only absorbed into the blood stream through the lips’ blood vessels but also become ingestible. […] Exercising while using Burner Balm or Performance-X lip balms can also lead to fat reduction, as Chromium Picolinate has also been proven to help your body burn fat and carbohydrates.” the manufacturers say on the official website.

Made by Advanced Cosmetics Research Laboratories, the Burner Balm comes in five “delicious” flavors and costs $19.95.
