I am not fortunate to have any Labello so I can't compare side by side, but the NIVEA lip balm I have is made in Germany, where Labello is made. From what I can tell it is just marketed under a different name here. Kind of like the whole Hellman's/Best Foods thing. :) <br /><br />I would love it if you did a test since you can actually have both at once. ;) Hope you're having a great time in Sonoma.
