Burt’s Bees After Sun Soother Lip Balm

This is one of Burt's Bees tiny twist-up lip balm tubes. It's advertised as an 'after sun soother', but I don't stay in direct sun long enough to need my lips soothed. I find it pleasant to use just as a normal everyday lip balm. The formula contains castor oil, coconut oil, beeswax, sunflower ssed wax, cocao butter, shea butter, aloe extract. Despite containing menthol in the ingredients list, I didn't get any tingling, so that's a tick in my books. The lip balm glides on and is very 'melty', it's instantly hydrating and doesn't leave any sticky or waxy feeling. It has a pleasant light seagrass scent. I find that the texture works well layered under lip colour as it's not runny or thick. It's also small and handy to stick in the hand bag. It's the lip balm that I decided to pack when I went overseas for a few weeks, to use as my night lip balm. (I packed another one with SPF for day use). It took up so little space in my toiletry bag for the plane. It held up well as an overnight lip balm, even though it wasn't as occlusive as my usual night lip balm. I didn't wake up with dry lips.

Love this product. Infused with coconut oil and aloe Vera it’s perfect for soothing burnt lips after a day in the sun. The aloe Vera is so soothing and cooling and it feels beautiful on my lips when I have been in the sun all day. It also contains beeswax as most Burt’s bees products do and has a creamy waxy consistency that glides over my lips with ease. At just $7.50 this lip soother balm is great value and a great after sun product that is a must have for summer. I will definitely be buying this lip balm again and would highly recommend it
