... and I've had my share of lip balms.  :)  Tastes good, too.  I got the Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil, but I'm sure all other variations are great as well.

Love It

I really love this lip balm. Before I started using it I was using Blistex Medicated. I liked the medicinal feel of the Blistex. However, I was always have to reappy it, and it really didn't make my lips feel healthy. The Burt's Bees lip balm is wonderful. It doesn't have a medicinal feel. Instead, it is soothing, provides the necessary moisture needed, and makes my lips feel healthier. I am in love with this product now. I plan on buying many more to keep around the house so I don't have to use the regular lip balms anymore.

Lip balm junkie highly recommends it

Pros:natural, works great, taste Cons:none Purchase Date:January 2008 Purchase Price:$2.00

I admit it. I am a lip balm junkie. I cannot live without one and I use it several times a day. I have tried a ridiculous amount of lip balms and this one might be the best of the lot. It's not greasy, does a great job and I love the tingling sensation! Of course if you hate peppermint, stay away from it!

Poor bees didn't quite do it...

Pros:smells good Cons:doesn't glide, excessive packaging

I really want to like this lip balm - it has a great scent/flavor and it's made by a reputable company (though now owned by -- eek!). It doesn't seem to work that well - it has to be really warm for it to glide and it doesn't really moisturize - it just kind of sits there.

Perhaps it works as a barrier in extreme cold or wet conditions -- but for general day to day lip softening, I'll stick with cacao butter, coconut butter and olive oil.

Pros:Keeps my lips nice and soft! Cons:If you get the tin and you leave it in your car, it gets melted and the tin is hard to open Purchase Date:May 2000 Purchase Price:$1.74

I really do have one in pretty much every bag I've got. And one in my car too. If you leave one in your car, I would recommend the tube though because I've ended up with tins I can't open. Whoops. That's really my fault I guess...

But I digress. My little sister has tried the honey kind but it's a little too sweet for me (and I think the bottom of it gets pretty sugary). But the straight up beeswax is great. For every day use (and when skiing), I'm a fan.

One of the Best!

Pros:Works like a charm Cons:Sold out to Clorox

I love Burt's Bee's products all around, but I know this one works well! I also have lip balms in abundance, in the car, 3 in my purse (for variety...gotta have it) and 1 in the bedroom for those luscious lip locks! I find Burt's Bee's Lip Balm is not greasy, it absorbs well and protects your lips for quite a while until you need to re-apply. I love it and use it often!

Although I have found alternative products to use since Burt's Bee's sold out to Clorox I would still recommend it if your lips are in some serious need of natural moisture.

Cool natural lip balm

Pros:...easy to use - it's lip balm... Cons:Kinda pricey, melts in cars - like other lip balms...

We have been pretty much exclusively using Burt's Bees lip balm for a while now. Is more expensive than "Chap Stick", and melts in cars just the same... so be cautious with that. Anyway, whole family likes it and we've spread the word and friends like it also :-) There are different kinds of balm by Burt's Bees - the lifeguard kind is kinda white on your lips. They are all great!

Pros:The best lip balm I've ever used Cons:It's relatively pricey Purchase Price:$3.50

Okay, this is the absolute best lip balm on the market. Bar none. I've literally tried every single brand (from the traditional Chapstick to Carmex to fancy lip balms in tins), and this is the best. It's just the right amount of mintiness, really stays on the lips to keep them moist, and lasts forever. I always have at least two tubes that I switch among my purses. I literally don't go anywhere without it. It only gets four stars for value just because it is pretty expensive, but it's worth it -- I love this product.

Pros:natural beeswax, effective Cons:a bit pricey Purchase Date:August 2007 Purchase Price:$3.00

Burt's Bees lip balm is pretty good stuff. It's made of beeswax, which I think is pretty cool. It works pretty effectively on chapped lips, and the pepperminty flavor is pretty nice. At around $3 it's a little bit on the expensive side, but you can get twice as much of it in a tin for the same price. According to Burt's Bees, it's 95.29% natural. Now that's precise!

The plain is a good lip balm

Pros:Natural, smells good, works well Cons:The flavored lip balms are more questionable, peppermint oil makes it burn a little

I try to use natural products on my body because your skin absorbs so much of what you put onto it. I like that this is a natural product, it smells nice, and it works well. I have the lip balm in the tin right now (see note below), and the peppermint burns a little. I don't remember if that was an issue with the stick version.

NOTE I- Read the ingredients! I looked at a few of the different lip balms, and I personally would only want to buy the plain types. The honey one has "flavor" in it, the pomegranate one has "fragrance" and carmine (which comes from boiling a certain type of insect)- so it is not vegetarian.

NOTE II- It's a much better deal to buy it in the tin rather than in the stick- when I bought mine, it was the same price for twice as much. The ingredients are slightly different in the tin. The tin is also takes a tiny bit more effort to get open than the stick.
