Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Lip Tint Balm in a 2 in 1 duo tinted balm formula, sold as a 2 pack in the shade Fiery Red Dahlia. The listing names shea butter, responsibly sourced beeswax and coconut oil as the special ingredients, positioning it as a moisturizing balm with a buildable tint layered on top.", 'It is labeled paraben free and suited to all skin types per the listing, with a natural finish rather than a glossy or matte lipstick style finish. The 2 in 1 concept means it is meant to function as both a lip treatment and a light color product in one step.', "At $8.79 for a 2 pack, it is priced similarly to Burt's Bees' plain balms, and with over 22,000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, it has one of the largest and most consistent review bases of any product in this lineup."]
Pros
- Shea butter, beeswax and coconut oil combine for a moisturizing, natural feel
- Buildable tint adds a wash of color without a separate lipstick step
- Paraben free formula
- Backed by an unusually large base of over 22,000 reviews at 4.6 stars
- 2 pack means a backup is included
Cons
- Tinted formula is not a fit if you want a completely clear balm
- Color payoff is sheer and buildable, not a bold, opaque lip color
- Only comes in the Fiery Red Dahlia shade in this listing, limiting color choice
Performance notes
Shea butter and coconut oil are both rich emollients that soften and condition the lips, while the responsibly sourced beeswax forms a protective layer that helps lock that moisture in. The tint is layered into this same base, so the color effect depends on the moisturizing balm doing its job first, which is a different approach from a standard lipstick built around pigment and wax.
What buyers say
With more than 22,000 reviews holding a 4.6 average, this tinted balm has one of the largest and most reliable review bases in this roundup, which suggests it performs consistently for a very wide range of buyers over a long period.

Frequently asked questions
Is the tint strong or subtle?
The listing describes it as a buildable, natural looking finish rather than a bold, opaque color, so expect a sheer wash of red rather than a full coverage lipstick effect.
What moisturizing ingredients are in this balm?
The special ingredients listed are shea butter, responsibly sourced beeswax and coconut oil, the same kind of emollient and wax combination used in Burt's Bees' plain lip balms.
Does it come in other colors?
This specific listing is for the Fiery Red Dahlia shade in a 2 pack. Burt's Bees offers other shades in this tinted balm line, but they are separate listings.
