Lip Balm on Passover
Question
I have a lip balm called FLAXITOL. It's a lip ointment that I use a lot in everyday life. Am I allowed to use it on Passover?
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita: medications that do not have a pleasant taste are permitted to be taken on Passover.
However, there is room for stringency with lip balms since they come into contact with food. But when it is very necessary, it is permitted because the chametz [that might be there] is spoiled.
