Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm Tube, .15-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4)

 (34 customer reviews)

I'd used Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm for a few years. Here in the "heartland" you'd better not be caught without something for lips and skin in general because it's pretty windy here and the cold is beyond description. Anyway, I'd kind of grown tired of the peppermint version and, so, having recently bought the "thoroughly therapeutic" lotion which contains significant honey decided to try the honey lip balm.

Having consumed my fair share of honey, I was quite taken by the wonderful whiff of honey I detected as I uncapped the balm. I do not, ergo, agree with the preceding reviewer's description of the item's smell as one of baby powder and vaseline(?). Also, it was not long before I found it to be far more effective than the peppermint. My lips have become smooth and moist with no roughness from peeling. This makes sense to me since I know a little bit about the healing power's of honey. And, I've only used it for about 3 weeks.

Now, mind you, the winter...Read more

I won't offer any pseudoscience on the merits of beeswax over petrolatum, but it's been my experience that the petro-based chapsticks require you to apply balm constantly. I find that with Burt's Bees, the opposite is true. So there's some anecdotal evidence for you, which is really what Amazon reviews are all about.

Some reviewers have noted that this product doesn't help with their chapped lips. I could see that as a possibility. There may be better products out there for healing damaged skin. I think of this balm as a preventive measure. I put this on before I go out, and I never get chapped lips. I have very fair skin that is prone to drying out, and I live in a cold, windy mountain town.

Because it eliminates one reason - out of countless, surely - for girls to not want to kiss me, Burt's Bees has my undying devotion.

I really enjoy Burt's Bees lip balms. The original in my opinion is the best because you can continuously use it without it becoming irritating or annoying. The Honey version has a very similar feel as the original, the obvious difference is instead of a tingly mint sensation there is a sweet, aromatic scent and taste. I originally liked this scent very much, however, with continued use it became somewhat overbearing and I was ready for a switch. Still, once every few months i'll come across this product and buy it for a change. If you don't mind a sweet scent and taste on your lips, you'll love this product!
