No, as far as I know it is not dangerous. As a matter of fact, it can be used to remove eye make up and restore chapped lips.
For people who have to be on oxygen all the time, you should NOT use petroleum based lip balm or moisturizers. Also, if you have some kind of open sore or infection, the lip balm may just cover the bacteria and not allow topical medicines or air to get to your lip so it can heal. Petroleum jelly by itself doesn't have any medicinal properties, it only protects from more moisture or from drying out.

What is the best lip balm for cracked lips?
EOS lip balm is great for cracked lips, but I can show you a better way to remove dead cells. All you need is honey, sugar, and petroleum jelly. Mix in a little bit of every ingredient, and when the scrub becomes gritty, apply this on your lips with your fingers, scrubbing as you do so. The sugar will remove dead cells, the honey will soften the lips, and the petroleum jelly will prevent your lips from further cracking. Hope this helped, CC

Is there an alternative to using Tiger Balm?
Since this is the Chinese Medicine category, the answer is yes. There are plenty of alternatives to Tiger Balm. Many small martial arts schools and manufacturers are making their own liniments, balms, oils, etc. using Chinese herbs. These are akin to dit da jow formulas that are used in martial arts training. If that is the usage that you are looking for, then an online search should present many options. The difference between balm vs. liniment is that most liniments are alcohol based, whereas most balms are petroleum or natural oil-based. This is an important difference in whether you want something that is liquid or solid (for transportation, application, etc.) So, you should first figure out whether you want something that is the consistency of Tiger Balm or if you are open to other forms, such as liquid, gel, cream, etc. If you are looking for a balm similar in texture to Tiger Balm, here is one really great alternative. One of the best alternatives to Tiger Balm is a new U.S. manufacturer of a petroleum-free, all natural balm that contains quite a few Chinese herbal ingredients. It's called Battle Balm and its uses are more than just the typical muscle rub and topical analgesic. It is specifically formulated for contact sports and trauma associated with it. The Battle Balm website says that it can be used for sprains, strains, muscle pulls, tears, tendonitis, arthritis, and small fractures. There are also 17 other uses for it. Even if it is not exactly what you want, at least the Battle Balm website may help you figure out what kind of product is right for you. I hope that helps.
Does bees wax irritate the skin?
Not unless your allergic to it. Been using lip balm with bees wax in it and it never irritated me. Plus I think it's much better than petroleum jelly-based lip balms.
