Wax lips were sold at American penny counters from the 1920s, made from paraffin and designed to be worn rather than eaten. The gummy version is the direct descendant and has been in British sweet shops since the 1980s.
What it's made of
Glucose syrup, sugar, water and gelatine with maltodextrin, citric acid, black carrot concentrate, coconut oil and a carnauba wax glaze.
