I love the texture of all burt's bees chapstics. I like the eucalyptus scent of this chapstick in particular, it reminds me of the forest. My husband will love it too.
This was so perfect for the outdoorsman/ridiculously chapped lips person. 3 weeks after I bought it, there's a change. I'm happy with it! I wish I could figure out what it actually smells like. =]
I read the bad reviews and I have to disagree with them. I use this as a face sunscreen and I saw NO white coating or white chunks when I applied it to my face. It smells herbal, but it moisturizes perfectly! I would keep buying this!
I use this before, during and after the sun. I had to get use to the texture and the smell BUT the soothing, healing and hydrating effects are worth it.
I've found this lip balm to be pretty hardcore stuff. It's definitely not your typical lip balm. First, it smells and tastes like the Res-Q Ointment which was no suprise given its name. Second, it goes on a little rougher than most lip balms. I wouldn't say it was hard to apply. Just that it wasn't as smooth as the other Burt's lip balms. Third, it has a pretty strong lasting power and is actually a little sticky. Don't apply a lot. I've found that one pass on each of the lips is all I need. If the taste and smell don't bother you, I think you'll find that this balm does an excellent job at rejuvenated really chapped lips.
love this product-was having a very hard time locating it in stores with other Burt Bees products, so very glad to have found it on website. thank you love the spf in this product
I bought this in hopes of having a higher SPF lip balm when my fiance and I go hiking on the weekends. We were fine with the smell at first, but it grew to be too potent very quickly. Also, when applying it, the balm was very coarse and hard to apply. It went on in chunks instead of a slick coat.
I think I'll stick with Burt's Bees Sun Protecting Lip Balm for outdoor activities.
Pros: Easy to apply, Smells great, prevents windburn
i use this when i horseback ride in the winter. It keeps my lips from cracking and burning from the sun reflecting off the snow. It also kept my lips from getting wind burn. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is outdoors in harsh conditions.
I cannot say enough about this product. My husband and I live and work in Alaska and spend a lot of time outdoors. The wind, the cold and dryness can be really brutal. This is the only product that heals our lips in this climate. I only wish I could find it in the stores!!!
Cons: Unpleasant smell, Hard to apply, rough texture
I wanted to love this because it had an SPF of 15. I love all the other Burt's Bees lip products and I couldn't believe how different this was. It has a rough texture and is really thick. But the worst part for me is the smell. I kept tasting it in my mouth and hoping it would wear off soon. I gave the product two days, and I can't give it any longer.
I live in Flagstaff, AZ, where it gets freezing cold in the winter and is very arid (single-digit humidity numbers aren't unusual).
I was given a tube of this (way back when it was a promo and still green!) and it's the best thing ever. Now that it's readily available, I have one in the truck, one in my backpack, and a couple more hanging around the house.
It keeps me un-cracked like no other. Accept no substitutes!
