Do lip balm come from whale sperm?what is lip balm made of?

My lip balm, at least, contains no products from whales.  The main ingredient of the lib balm that I use is bees' wax.


To my knowledge, nothing (other than other whales) has ever been made from whale sperm.  I think that you may be a little confused because of the word "sperm" in the name "sperm whale."


One of the things that was valuable in a sperm whale was this stuff called "spermaceti."  It was used in cosmetics.  However, it was not really sperm.  It was something that came from the head of sperm whales and it looked a bit like semen, but it wasn't really semen or sperm.
