The greatest – I’ve tried probably 50+ lip balms and the Burts Bees Ultra Conditioning is by far the most superior. Long lasting, not sticky, leaves my lips coated in smoothness. The watermelon and the pomegranate ones are not far behind it
Great everyday lip balm – I’m a fan of burt’s bees for quite some time so was happy when Best In Beauty event in Sept 2024 included another of their products to try. My lips have been dry during the winter and not as soft as they normally are so this was great to trial and timing was perfect. I love anything with shea butter in it & how this lip balm glides on your… Read more
lips. It does slightly tingle when you apply it but I don’t mind this as makes me feel like it works & sensation is very quick.
Love the compact size & don’t need to apply too often as lasts.
*This product was received for free as a trial product for my true & honest opinion whether positive or negative.
I was hesitant in buying this lip balm the squeezy tinted balm, I’ve been using a Nivea one for as long as I can remember, but I will continue getting this lip balm. When ever I’ve had issues with dry lips I would just apply my Nivea one with… Read more
cracks lips and persevere with the problem, I feel like on the first day after but this amazing product, I will never turn back and get anything other than this lip balm. My lips aren’t hurting like they normally do. I can apply it every 2 hours I can already feel my lips being repaired by the ingredients in this lip balm. Thanks for your amazing lip balm. I highly recommend it.
Follow-up · Well didn’t happen straight away but I definitely felt a difference after using after one day. I would apply so millions didn’t dry out, and they didn’t necessarily dry out felt amazing

Very small writing for the peppermint so strong it burns! – I bought this "Vitamin E and Pepperment" lip balm because I didn't see the very fine print on the very bottom of the box. I had checked to make sure as best I could that there were no obvious flavours as the other boxes were marked. There didn't seem to be a space on the rack for the same type I had purchased previously, which was the… Read more
ultra-conditioning. Very deceptive to have such very fine print on the bottom of the box stating it contained peppermint. It was only after I had applied it that it burnt so much that I had to take if off and that was with much difficulty.

LIP ENHANCER OR ALLERGIC REACTION? – The Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint made my lips more voluminous for some odd reason, it looked a little larger. I think I may be the only one with this reaction. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing however, because I like the way it made my lips look. It is like a lip enhancer, plus it makes my Charmeleon Lipstick look better… Read more
on top of the lip balm. I do not mind the scent of the lip balm, it nourishes my dry lips, however do exfoliate the lips prior to using this because it helps the product to work better, it maintains the hydration this lip balm once applied. People complained about it drying the lips, well in my case, I had initially dry lips which were flakey, so I exfoliated, additionally drinking room temperature water helps as well which is why your lips are dry in the first plus as well as all that product of lipsticks used on your lips will dry them out obviously. Do keep in mind I had dry flakey lips, not dry and non-flakey lips. If it's cracked, sore and dry, I do not know if this product will work for you. However, in my case, it worked for my "dry flakey lips."
Love the Balms and Variety of Flavours! – Tried pretty much everything in their lip care range. Whilst the lip crayon liners and lip shimmers aren’t much of a “stand-out”, their moisturising balms and tinted balms ranges are unbeatable. All natural, nice shades, lovely scents and flavours and conditioning. Additional Tips: • hard to find - not sold at quite a few major retailers eg.… Read more
Woolworths, Coles, Chemist Warehouse. Head over to Priceline or Big W for the best Range!
• this product IS suitable for those with dermatological conditions (ie. prone to psoriasis, contact/allergic-dermatitis), zero reaction to Products and evidently protected my lips from cracking even in nasty weather conditions
• the tinted balms; whilst visually appealing on application do come off a lot easier than the standard balms so make sure to pack it in your handbag and reapply after eating. The shades also vary slightly from the colours shown on the boxes (not a lot but some are worse than others with this)
• for guys; stick with the coconut and pear balm! This one has zero tint and still tastes/smells great!
Old but gold - Essential beauty care – Lip balm should not be something to worry much about. I first used it 7-8 years ago. I've tried too many different ones even from higher range brands but always come back to this brand when it comes to lip balm. First thing first, it's natural. They are all made from natural ingredients, not petroleum. Second thing, I'm a fan of bee's… Read more
product (anything from bee including honey, bee wax, propolis, etc)
Third, simply nice golden package.
The classic one "Beewax" works well with nice thick texture, basic layer under lipstick. My top fav is the Pomegranate tube since it actually replenishes and smells so sweet that I have to lick my lip and then reapply again teehee. For those who have extremely dry lips, the silver-capped tube "Ultra Conditioning" should be the one, it is super greasy. Others products in the lip balm lines have similar quality so it's up to your reference in terms of scent.
Their less popular line tinted lip balm is also nice. I was given the Rose one as a gift which has lovely color and glossy finish. Good for the natural make-up style.
Positive reviews
Favourite balm – My go to lip balm. Cheap, majority of them keep the lips hydrated without drying them out. The strawberry & pomegranate ones are my most purchased. Some of the ‘white’ coloured balms have a weird waxy texture that isn’t very hydrating so I don’t purchase those. Show details
Life Saver – This is the only lip balm I want to use. I've tried a lot from natural balms to medicated ones. My lips crack and get very red and dry around the sides, sometimes bleed. The peppermint in this gives instant cooling relief and the thick texture is hydrating and long lasting. Seriously good stuff.
Fave lip balm – I really love Burt’s bees lip balm I’ve used the plain honey scented and recently have tried the pink grapefruit and both make my lips nice and smooth don’t irritate them and smells lovely Show details
Negative reviews
Disappointed – I bought the Burts Bees cucumber and mint lip balm - the combo flavour wasn't to my liking. I've never had to pull off so much dry skin from my lips before until I started using this lip balm. Only bought a few weeks ago and have throw it out today as it's not worth the dry and cracked lips. However, this is my experience with this lip balm and could be different for others. Show details
Someone said- do not purchase - they were right – I had a bit burned lips and bought the balm to make them moisturised. My daughter said not to buy because she had bad experience but I did not listen. Today is a second day I am using it and guess what, I have got cold sore on my lips which I never experienced before. I asked my daughter to specify the issue with this lip balm and she said she… Read more
had a cold sore after using it. OMG! What's that? I do not have any allergies and never had cold sores, now I have got something bad because of this product. Not fair! And my lips are still dry. Such a bad quality.
Disappointing lip balm – I really wanted to like Burt's bees but it just didn't work for me. For a few weeks of using it daily my lips were dry, cracked and sore - somehow it was worse than using no lip balm at all. Show details

the range is fantastic – I couldn't ask for more from this product. I have chapped and dry lips and this product makes that bearable. This keeps my lips supple for more than 6 hours which is purely fantastic! Show details
Dries out and irritates lips – I purchased two tinted lip balms from Burt's Bees from Adore Beauty, almost certain they would be perfect for my lips. WRONG. The whole "8 hours of moisture" is rubbish and furthermore, they actually dry out and irritate my lips - it's kind of like they're giving you the poison and feeding you the cure at the same time. Makes me wonder whether… Read more
this is just a problem unique to me or whether they're actually doing it deliberately in an underhanded way to get you more dependant on their lip balms. Whatever the case, that's $20+ down the drain. Also, the tint is tiny and barely noticeable. Never again.
Love it – I love the entire Burts Bees lip balm range. The original peppermint flavour is nice. But my favorite is still the pomegranate. It's so hard to find though. Can't find it anywhere in shops and online is always sold out. Very frustrating.
Not the best – I recently bought the Pomegranate lip balm and I love the smell and subtle tint but my lips got dryer and started cracking after using it. Gave it a second go and my lips were so sore. Applied another brand and within an hour started feeling better. I’m sad to say I won’t buy this product again Show details
I love the feel and smell of this balm – I love the feel and smell on this balm however I'd love a thicker texture that lasted longer. It's also a little bit expensive for my liking but still affordable. Show details
BEST LIP BALM I HAVE USED – I am obsessed with lip balms and always have one with me, I have tried almost every brand and discovered Burts Bee's when it came free with a magazine i purchased, I am now obsessed. it has fantastic hydration, keeps my lips lovely and soft and the tint adds a nice soft natural colour to my lips. Highly Recommend
Absolutely amazing! – I purchased this lip balm a couple of years ago and fell in love with it! It has a deliciously warm vanilla scent and the hydration it provides your lips lasts a long time. I've have never come across a product that works as well as this does and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a moisturising and long-lasting lip product :)
Perfect match – The lip balm is like everything I've ever needed in one balm. It's not too strong of a balm or too weak. Smells very nice and the scent isn't too strong as well. If you somehow don't like the applicator they also sell tin ones which are nice. It does cost a fair bit but its totally worth it! You can find this in a lot of places because its a fairly known of a brand.
Save your $7 – Not impressed with this... bought it in pink grapefruit and cucumber mint, and neither are moisturising, just seem to dry out my lips more. They do smell nice and could be good in summer when my lips aren’t so dry.

Lip Balm – The Coconut and Pear flavor is disgusting. I unfortunately bought two. I don't think it keeps my lips moist, not any difference than a cheaper brand. I will never buy this brand again.
This is nice and water! – I’m a man and recently my rip go dryer and hurt a bit, one of mine recommended this rip, I really like it with honey, first day my rip getting better and 3 days atfer is getting normal perfect!
Minty Fresh! – I’m a lip balm fanatic, and this is one of my favourites! It glides on smoothly and is lightweight. My favourite Burt’s Bees is the Vitamin E and Peppermint; super refreshing.
Love the pomegranate one – Bought the pomegranate one after seeing someone else use it underneath lipstick. It's really nourishing and has a delicious scent. I love the hint of color it provides and the packaging is cute too!
best lip balm i've ever tried – I bought this after seeing great reviews on beautyheaven about it. I absolutely LOVE it. Easy to apply, feels great, not sticky or fake, doesnt taste gross. Just natural, good, clean lip balm. LOVE I will be repurchasing this for different areas of my life: car, handbag, makeup drawer etc! The peppermit is also refreshing.
Coconut and pear lip balm – I got the coconut and pear lip balm and it smelled great at first. But after a few uses, I noticed a 'stale' scent, I believe it's from the coconut, which bothers me every time I apply the lip balm! So 1 star off for that. 4 stars for being extremely moisturizing, makes my lips so baby soft and actually does last more than a couple hours on my lips.
Heaven for my lips – My lips have suffered this winter they were very dry, inflamed and peeling. I was using other brands that I thought were good for my lips however they were ineffective. My lips had become so dry and sore that I was using honey to help, given that I couldn't drag a tub of honey with me I thought I'd try 'bursts bees'. I have the chap stick and it… Read more
has been instant relief for my lips. I nearly went for the easy to spread balm however it contained all more ingredients than the good old chap stick.
So glad I made this choice, my lips are thankful, I know have a few sticks (once for each bag!).
Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Balm – I bought a stick of Vanilla Bean Lip Balm as I'm overhauling all body care products to be chemical free. The scent is beautiful, reminiscent of 'my precious' vanilla lip balm... (staple brand of girls who grew up in the 90s which is full of chemicals but the ONLY balm I've found to date to stay on my lips and keep them from being dry and peeling).… Read more
So I bought the Burt's Bees one and I have to reapply it about every 30mins, I just comes off so easily and it doesn't moisturise my lips at all, they are tight, sore and dry in the 3 weeks I've been using it.
For baby soft lips – I tried Burt’s Bees Lip balm 3 years ago mainly because I heard that they are not testing on animals. And I got hooked! It’s not sticky and the flavor is not overpowering at all. My lips feel healthy and smooth and well moisturized, just like a baby’s! I don’t see myself changing lip balms anytime soon.
bees wax lip colour – I love this product as i can were it by its self or over my lipstick and it lovely not sticky. This product is easy to use because it is in a tube with an angled tip and it is so moisturising, i am a mouth breather so my lips are sad in the morning but i have started using it at night and i have not had dry cracked lips since, as i thought it was… Read more
another lip gloss but this is better than any that i have tried but what i love best is it looks great with all the colours.
Only Lip Balm I Will Ever Use – I have been using this lip balm for 10 years. Once in awhile I will try something new, but always end up coming back to this. I find that other kip balms eventually dry my lips out, but never with Burt's Bees! I apply once or twice a day and that is it. One stick lasts for a LONG time. The original balm with peppermint oil is very soothing. Inexpensive, effective, soothing
Works Well – I am so glad that I bought this Burt's Bee Lip Balm. It leaves my lips feeling so soft after use. Show details
Horrible – Dried lips to the point they peeled and I got two fever blister(cold sores) after using for about 5/6 days Show details
