ChapStick

Pocket lip salve

ChapStick is a brand of lip balm used to prevent or treat chapped lips.

The name has become genericized, often referring to any lip balm regardless of brand: Do you have any ChapStick?

The waxy stick format makes it portable and easy to apply. (Lowercase chapstick is the generic term.)
