Classic Burt’s Bees lip balm in its original, minty configuration is an oldie but a goodie. Available in most drug stores, it’s a good option for those moments when you’re having a lip balm emergency (they happen!).

It’s also my favorite lip balm to keep in the car because for some mysterious reason, even on the hottest days, it does not melt into a liquid state (always a danger with other balms during the summer months).

Truly, the only issue I run into with Burt’s Bees is its flavor. I love it, but my husband has a weird aversion to all things mint. So I’m less likely to get a kiss if I’ve applied it recently. Those are the breaks!

Details: Comes in a .15 ounce tube. Contains beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil,vitamin E, lanolin, peppermint oil, comfrey root extract, and rosemary extract. Costs $3-4.

Disclosure: I have several tubes scattered around my world and I bought them all.
