I realise this is an old thread, I just bumped into it when looking into lip protection, But just thought I'd put in m 5 cents worth anyway.
As a kid I had chapped lips too. many solutions provided just as anyone here basically. None helped, specifically the Vit. B solution, at least not in this case, on the other hand it won't do much harm either (except to your wallet ofcourse).
Later on I found my solution this. and for me the problem has been solved.
Basic idea does follow what Brenda has posted here above.

All that the expensive moisturizers do is to add moisture (H2O) and then add oils of some kind or other to trap the moisture in.
/Quote..
With two adaptations...
1) there is enough moisture in you body already, so you don't need to add it, you just need to trap it in there.
2) you can't use just any oil to do so, it needs to be as close to our natural oils as possible. So vegetable oils won't work. Cause no matter how much we are vegetarian or even vegan, we still remain animals. Additionally most lipbalms add additives that actuall will dry out your lips afterwards.. so you keep useing them..
Personally, my solution has been, purol ONGUENT, a small can is lasting my well I expect my entire life really, as it does what it should, stops the chapping, so it stops you from needing to use it.
Oddly enough, when I bought La tromba slide and cork grease, the texture and smell reminded me strongly of it, not sure if this is a good or bad thing, so don't get me wrong. I am not suggesting using the one for the other.. just an observation.
