Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm Quick Review

By Kwilliford @ExquisiteEczema
I am a lip balm junkie.  At any given time, I have two or three on hand.  Burt's Bees has some of the best lip balm around.  I am a fan of their original lip balm, but I switched it up and went with the Ultra Nourishing lip balm for some added moisture.  This balm has Kokum Butter and claims to provide 4 hour moisture. That being said, I have to admit that I found this balm pretty disappointing.  When first applied, it feels amazing and you think that it will live up to the 4 hour claim.  Sadly, the initial amazingness is short lived.  After 15-20 minutes, my lips begin to dry out again and sometimes they begin to peel a little.  This balm is 100% natural and hypoallergenic.

If you have sensitive lips, I would probably stay away from this balm just to be safe.  I haven't had any issues with burning or redness, but the peeling is a little annoying.  I would just stick with their original balm.  You cannot beat that.
