Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Lip Oil in Clear Day, a 0.15 oz bottle priced at $9.97. Unlike the brand's classic beeswax sticks, this is a liquid formula applied with a wand, built around jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil, with a Peach flavor and a high shine, glossy finish.", "The listing emphasizes instant hydration along with a non sticky feel, which is a common selling point for lip oils that want to offer shine without the tacky texture some oil formulas can leave behind. It carries the same 93 degree Fahrenheit melting point as other Burt's Bees products, and it is Leaping Bunny certified along with being paraben, phthalate, petrochemical and SLS free.", 'With a 4.5 rating from 319 reviews, it has built a solid track record within the lip oil subcategory, appealing to buyers who want the glossy, wet look finish that has become popular in recent lip care trends.']

Performance notes
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, which allows it to absorb without feeling heavy, while meadowfoam seed oil is prized for its high oxidative stability, meaning it tends to hold up well over time compared to some other plant oils. Together they support the product's instant hydration and non sticky claims, since both oils are known for a light, fast absorbing feel rather than the thicker, more occlusive texture of a beeswax stick. This makes the formula well suited to buyers who want quick shine and softness without a heavy layer sitting on the lips.
What buyers say
A 4.5 rating from 319 reviews is a strong showing for a lip oil format, which is a newer category for Burt's Bees compared to its long running stick lineup. The consistency of the rating suggests buyers are responding well to both the finish and the hydration claim.

Frequently asked questions
Does this lip oil leave a tint or color?
No, the listing describes it as tint free with a Clear Day name, so it is meant purely for shine and hydration rather than adding color.
Is this lip oil sticky like some other lip oils can be?
The listing specifically markets it as non sticky, which is a notable claim for a glossy, high shine oil format. This is one of the features that seems to set it apart within the lip oil subcategory.
Can this product soften or melt if left in a hot car?
Yes, it is marked as heat sensitive with a melting point around 93 degrees Fahrenheit, similar to Burt's Bees' beeswax based products, so it is best stored somewhere cool rather than left in direct heat.
