I am really picky about my lip balm. Burt's Bees has a superior product - the balm is thick without feeling greasy, has a clean scent and taste (of beeswax, naturally, with a hint of mint), and lasts a long time on my lips. It's soothing. I'd call this a truly good, middle-duty product for dry and chapped lips.

The sensation of mint adds a cooling note to the balm that is nice on minor chapped lips. If you have a really chapped situation with flaking, cracking or skin pieces hanging from your lips, there are stronger, more medicated preparations to reach for instead of this one. I also feel this product would be improved by adding sunblock to the formula. I like a lip balm that protects as well as soothes. However, this is still my favorite lip product.

The ingredients are simple: beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil, Vitamin E, lanolin, peppermint oil, comfrey root and rosemary extract. And that's it. All good stuff.

The tube is easy to use, comes in 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, and has a bright, sunny yellow appearance.

Overall - Burt's Bees lipbalm is a really great product: soothing, long-lasting, with a nice honey-mint scent/flavor. Made of simple, natural ingredients, this balm is highly recommended.
