Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Lip Balm in the Pomegranate flavor, sold as a 4 pack of 0.15 oz sticks. The listing names beeswax and fruit extracts as the special ingredients, with the brand marketing it for moisturizing and intense hydration through natural oils.", 'It is labeled paraben free and formulated for dry skin, positioning it as an everyday balm rather than a specialty or medicated treatment. The natural finish and fruit extract blend give it a scent and flavor profile on top of the base moisturizing formula.', 'At $9.99 for four sticks, it works out to under $2.50 per balm, and with close to 2,800 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, plus a reported 100 purchases in the last month, it is one of the more consistently popular options in this lineup.']
Pros
- High 4.8 average rating across nearly 2,800 reviews
- Beeswax and fruit extract based formula for everyday moisturizing
- Paraben free
- Pomegranate flavor adds a pleasant scent without needing added fragrance
- 4 pack keeps cost per stick low
Cons
- Flavored formula is not a fit for anyone who wants a neutral, unscented balm
- No SPF listed, so it will not double as sun protection
- Simple ingredient list skips treatment extras like hyaluronic acid or ceramides
Performance notes
Beeswax forms a protective layer over the lips that helps slow moisture loss, and the added fruit extracts contribute the pomegranate flavor and scent rather than acting as active treatment ingredients. This is a classic barrier style balm, built for daily comfort and flavor rather than targeting specific concerns like severe cracking or peeling.
What buyers say
A 4.8 rating from close to 2,800 reviews, along with a reported 100 units bought in the past month, points to a product that is both well liked and currently popular, which is a reasonable signal of consistent, ongoing satisfaction rather than a one time spike.

Frequently asked questions
What does this lip balm taste and smell like?
It is the Pomegranate flavor in Burt's Bees' lineup, so expect a fruity scent and taste layered over the base beeswax balm rather than a neutral or unflavored feel.
Is this balm made with natural ingredients?
The listing names beeswax and fruit extracts as the special ingredients and describes the finish as natural, though it is not marketed as USDA Organic like some other balms in this lineup.
How long does a 4 pack typically last?
That depends on how often you apply it, but with four 0.15 oz sticks in the pack, most people can keep one in daily rotation and still have backups on hand for months.
