As one of the largest lip-care product makers in the US, Blistex would like to gloss over its competition. The company's best known for its Blistex lip-care products, but it's also delving into other niches of the personal care products industry. Blistex has extended its reach and added new products to its existing brands by acquiring new product lines -- such as Stridex acne treatments, Kank-A for mouth pain, Foille first aid spray, and Ivarest for poison ivy itch -- all in an effort to grow its business. Blistex sells its products mostly through supermarkets and drugstores worldwide. The Arch family has owned and operated Blistex since founding it in 1947.
