Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm in the Ultra Conditioning line, sold as a 4-pack for $14.79. It is built around a trio of butters, shea, cocoa, and kokum, along with a formula the listing describes as 100% natural origin and paraben and phthalate free.", "The balm is labeled for dry skin types and lists a melting point around 93 degrees Fahrenheit, which points to the same solid-at-room-temperature, softens-on-contact feel that the brand's classic tubes are known for. Buying it as a 4-pack makes it easy to stash one in a bag, one at a desk, and one by the bed.", 'With about 3,400 reviews averaging 4.7 stars and around 100 buyers a month at the time of writing, this is a steady, well-established seller rather than a new or unproven formula.']
Pros
- Strong 4.7 rating across roughly 3,400 reviews
- Three conditioning butters (shea, cocoa, kokum) in one balm
- 100% natural origin formula that is paraben and phthalate free
- Comes as a 4-pack, good value for regular use
- Recognizable, widely available brand
Cons
- Waxy, fuller texture rather than a sheer or glossy finish
- No tint or shine for those who want a dual-purpose lip product
- 4-pack commitment is less appealing if you just want to try one
Performance notes
Shea and cocoa butter are both classic emollients that sit on the lip surface and slow moisture loss, while kokum butter adds a firmer, more stable structure to the balm so it holds its shape in warm conditions. A melting point near 93 degrees Fahrenheit means it softens quickly from body heat, which is typical for a balm meant to glide on smoothly rather than sit hard on the lips.
What buyers say
A 4.7 average from about 3,400 reviews is a strong, consistent result for a lip balm at this price point, and the steady 100 buys a month suggests it remains a routine repurchase for a lot of people rather than a one-time impulse buy.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Burt's Bees lip balm flavored?
The listing describes the flavor as Ultra Conditioning rather than a fruit or mint flavor, so expect a mild, waxy taste from the butters themselves rather than a distinct flavored balm.
Is this formula good for very dry lips?
It is labeled for dry skin types and combines shea, cocoa, and kokum butter, three rich emollients often used together for extra conditioning, so it is a reasonable pick if your lips tend to feel tight or flaky.
Does the 4-pack come in one flavor or a mix?
Based on the listing details, this 4-pack ships as the Ultra Conditioning formula, so all four tubes share the same shea, cocoa, and kokum butter blend rather than a variety of flavors.
