it's not the flavor, it's the durability. Frankly, Bert's Bees did not hold up on a century
ride. Blistex no flavor was very good, also Alba Botanica Sun SPF 18, very good.
Naturally the drug store Blistex is going to be much cheaper then the non-petro, Alba Botanica. Personally I avoid really strong flavors I don't want it to make my sports drink taste even more bizarre.
