Fans can't get enough. Since Burt's Bees was founded in 1984, the brand has amassed a cult-like following worldwide. And it's not just the amazing products and easy-to-understand ingredients that resonate with people; the company is also dedicated to giving back and embraces a keep-it-simple mantra.

'” Teens are using Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm on their eyelids in an effort get high. Those who have taken part in beezin' say the peppermint oil causes a tingling and burning sensation, which creates a sensation of being drunk or high.
Our Verdict. Overall, we think that the fragrance-free Burt's Bees products could be a good option if you're looking for natural skin care products, and we'd recommend avoiding the products with fragrance.
Made from 100% natural ingredients, this beeswax-based balm is parabens-, petrolatum-, phthalates- and SLS-free and has just a hint of peppermint oil and vitamin E to keep your lips plumped up and perky. Better still, it comes in various “flavours” – think cucumber and mint, wild cherry, mango and pomegranate.
While the formulation of this product does contain moisturizing ingredients, it also contains ingredients that are known to potentially trigger allergic contact dermatitis of the lips, including flavors and lanolin. This is why I don't recommend this product for those with dry, chapped lips.
There's no good evidence that lip balm is chemically addictive — in that it causes withdrawal symptoms if you stop. And there's no evidence that it dries out your lips, forcing you to use more over time. But there is reason to believe that it can be habit-forming for a smaller subset of people.
Burt's Bees nature-based sensitive skin regimen is well-tolerated as well as clinically and statistically superior to a leading dermatologist-recommended synthetic regimen, according to a study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.
The first major examination was in 2007 when the nonprofit Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested a range of products and found lead in 61 percent of them, including Burt's Bees tinted chapstick.
Our cosmetic products are intended to last three years from date of manufacture, which can be determined by reading the lot code. We recommend that products be used within 12 months after opening and it's best to store products out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, if possible.
Oklahoma City's Fox-25 reports that teens are now getting a new kind of “buzz” by applying Burt's Bees lip balm to their eyelids. Naturally, they're calling it “Beezin” and apparently it adds to the experience of already being drunk or high by adding an additional tingling sensation.
Beezin' is the practice of applying Burt's Bees brand lip balm, often menthol or peppermint flavored, to one's eyelids. This practice, besides causing a stinging in the eyes, is purported to induce or heighten the sensation of being drunk or high, or create a state or perceived state of enhanced alertness.
It's simply an irritant due to the peppermint oil,” she said. “It's just sort of a tingling sensation in the eyelid. If there's some that runs into the eye, they can feel a burning sensation in the eye.” Murphy said beezin is not toxic or even potentially fatal, but she hopes parents discuss it with their teens.
I recommend brushing them with your tooth brush, it exfoliates them and then put on a peppermint chapstick, I use burts bees. It makes them bigger temporarily. Usually lasts about 5 or 6 hours on mine, although I don't need much plumping.
Remember, Burt's Bees is now worth over $1 billion.

It's natural, and can be sourced through mining the earth. When mined, it can be purified to remove heavy metals, but trace amounts of lead can still be found. (Maybe that's why a Burt's Bees lip tint was #17 on the FDA's list for lipsticks containing lead.)
While customers were also drawn to the original Burt's Bees lip balm that took our best-rated spot, this lip balm stood out to customers who needed a little extra help with their chapped lips. Customers say the ultra-conditioning version of the classic formula keeps their lips hydrated for a long time.

Burt's Bees has been an advocate for bee health of since the onset of Colony Collapse Disorder in 2007. Since then, we've disseminated millions of bee-friendly wildflower seeds, awarded over 30 grants to bee researchers across the continent, and educated the public on the importance of bees.
The Hemp that's used for industrial, food or personal care uses, however, has only trace amounts of this compound (0.3% or less), so it's not psychoactive. (In other words, you won't be feeling any kind of buzz when you use these products.)
Lip balms provide only temporary comfort, and some types can make scaly lips even drier. That's because, in part, when the thin film of moisture from the lip balm evaporates, it dehydrates your lips even more.
