The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Wild Cherry Moisturizing Lip Balm, sold as a 4 pack of 0.15 oz sticks. The listing names cherry oil as the key special ingredient and describes it as rich cherry oil combined with cold pressed cherry seed kernels, marketed for dry lips.", "It carries the same free from claims as many other Burt's Bees balms, including paraben free, phthalate free, petrolatum free and SLS free, and it has a natural finish rather than any tint or gloss.", "At $9.79 for four sticks, the price sits close to other Burt's Bees packs in this set. Its 4.6 rating is solid, but it is built on only 223 reviews, a much smaller sample than the thousands or tens of thousands behind other balms here, so treat the rating with a bit more caution."]
Pros
- Built around cherry oil and cold pressed cherry seed kernels
- Free of parabens, phthalates, petrolatum and SLS
- Solid 4.6 average rating
- 4 pack keeps a spare on hand
- Natural finish without added tint
Cons
- Review count of 223 is much smaller than other balms in this lineup, so the rating carries less statistical weight
- Listing shows 0 recent purchases in the past month
- Cherry flavor will not suit anyone wanting an unscented balm
Performance notes
Cherry oil and cold pressed cherry seed kernels function here as the emollient and flavor source, softening the lips while contributing the cherry scent and taste. This puts it in the same general category as Burt's Bees' other fruit and beeswax based balms, built for daily moisturizing rather than any targeted treatment.
What buyers say
A 4.6 rating is respectable, but with only 223 reviews and 0 reported purchases in the last month, this listing has a much thinner track record than most other balms in this set, so the rating should be read as a smaller, more limited sample rather than a broad consensus.
