I will not buy this again. It dried my lips. Waste of money. I'll stick to my reliable, cheaper Neutrogena Norwegian formula. Enough said.

Omg I saw this so of course, I had to get it. I had no idea(and still don't!) what Kokum Oil is but I got it anyways. I actually like the gritty feel, I feel like its scrubbing off the dry, chapped part of my lips. It lasts really long, I went hiking and it was great! I also like the smell, it smells like fruity loops ^^. It gives a nice shine and its not tinted like the acai berry and pomegranate oil ones.(I still like those though.). Those display a slightly sparkly, pink shine but this one it clear. Its great for a natural look. Not oily or greasy too! Definately my most fave Burt's Bee's lip balm EVER! I'm so buying it again.

Dries out my lips. I'm trying to use it up on my cuticles now. I think it's making my cuticles worse.

This is the worst Burt's Bees Lip Balm that I've used so far. It didn't moisturize my lips at all, and I really dislike the smell/taste. The texture was okay at first, somewhat greasy for a Burt's Bees Lip Balm, but over time I found that it became kind of gritty and unpleasant to wear. I also found myself having to reapply constantly because it was actually drying my lips out. It's also priced higher than the normal Burt's Bee's Lip Balms, which makes it even worse for how low quality it is.

I decided to give Burt's Bees another try - hesitantly, of course - after watching someone I know apply this product diligently, with good results. I am normally skeptical of Burt's Bees lip balms, only because I find that beeswax-based balms don't work well for me. I was pleasantly surprised by this greasy, citronella-y version! This particular balm is much smoother and creamier in the tube than other BB balms, and it almost feels like it's melting on your lips. It gives my lips a nice shine, though it's not what I would call "glossy," and it actually seems to plump my lips a little. It almost looks like I'm wearing the perfect shade of lip gloss for my face. The balm does moisturize my lips, but it's no one-application miracle. However, there are some downsides: It feels runny on my lips and dries up fairly quickly. There are no added fragrances/flavors, but BB did little to disguise the naturally occurring scent/taste, which is kind of like a citronella mosquito-repelling candle. It feels weird if I rub my lips together and accidentally swallow the balm. And - sadly - it's just too soft and melty to keep in my pocket. Overall, I only took away one lipstick because I can live with the things I don't like about the product. For now, at least, the way it makes my lips look is a weightier consideration.

This product made my lips fall off. Now you look at me and all you see are teeth, thank God I have pink gums!

In all seriousness though, heed my warning and the ones of those that told their tale before me, avoid this product like the plague. It will make your lips drier than the Sahara.

I'm not sure why everyone has such an issue with this balm. If you look at the first few ingredients, it's not another formulation of their regular beeswax-based balm. It's a coconut oil-based product. Be smart and READ what's in your products before you complain that something feels oily.

I'm a huge fan of the entire Burt's Bees line and really like this product. I was looking for something a little more moisturizing than the regular balm, which is great in the summer but doesn't heal my chapped lips in the winter. This is just the product for that. Plus, it has a very nice scent and has a little bit of sheen. I use this and skip wearing lipstick or lipgloss so my chapped lips can heal. You can find this for a reasonable price at Walgreen's. I bought the two-pack.

I bought this hoping it would be even better than the Burt's bees mango or acai lip balms, because those were both pretty good,and considering that this one costs more and was labeled " ultra conditioning" I was pretty excited to try it. However I was incredibly disappointed. This stuff is the WORST. It consistently ended up making my lips more dry than they were before. Ugh. Terrible. If you're thinking of getting this,do yourself a favor and buy pretty much any other Burt's bees lip balm. Part of me wonders if they made this one so that you would have to buy their other lip balms to repair your lips afterwards. That's how terrible it is.

So I went to Walgreens with the intent of trying the Yes to Carrots lip balm. They didn't have it, but they did have a huge selection of Burt's Bees products. I'm not a big fan of Burt's Bees lip balms, but I didn't want some junk with petroleum in it either. This product caught my eye though and I thought that maybe I should give it a try. I bought it and my god I feel like I got ripped off hardcore. I can describe the feeling of buying this product like I bought a bag of chips that's full of air. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A TUBE FULL OF AIR! Jesus I had to really squeeze hard to get any product out. And it wasn't even that great either. For $4.99, definitely not worth the money for a sub-par quality lip balm.

I have never tried Burt Bees lip balm. I was looking for a natural lip balm that would help moisturize since I have dry lips. When I apply this, it feels like I am wiping a slick oil on my lips that never sinks in. My lips look extremely shiny, which would be fine if that is the look I was going for, but it never feels like my lips are soft and moisturized. I get better results with plain Vaseline or Carmex. Safe to say I will not be repurchasing.

I had never tried Burt's Bee's lip balms before and was very curious to try. I purchased this product based on the label "4 hour moisture" and "ultra conditioning" I thought for $7.00 that it sounded okay to me. I have dry lips and no matter what I try I can't seem to hydrate them for long, as this product was probably the WORST I have used even compared to cheap and tacky dollar lip balms from bargain bins. It feels like i'm sliding oil onto my lips and then it feels like i've just mixed oil and water together and it's sitting on my lips fighting to stay. It dissapears within 10 minutes and feels horrible after about 4 minutes. It's safe to say that as my first purchase from Burt's Bee i'll never ever buy anything from them again.

I bought this instead of my normal go-to, the original Burt's Bees lip balm, because I was drawn to the promise of an "ultra-conditioning" balm that promises 4 hours of moisturization. While this certainly applies like a rich lotion, it becomes EXTREMELY drying within minutes. My lips have been crazy dry for the three days that I've been using it and this morning they started bleeding! Stick to the original and the pomegranate oil balms. This one needs to be taken off the market.

Before buying this product my lips were pretty much fine- I just like having a chapstick around especially during the winter. I saw that this was "ultra conditioning" and figured it was the best, especially being by Burt's Bees.
However, since I began using this product, my lips have become dryer than ever, painfully cracked and unless the chapstick is actually on my lips, this awful feeling persists.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone- instead of conditioning, it destroys.

I hadn't had much luck with regular Burt's Bees lip balm so I thought I'd give this a try. This was one of the worst lip balms I've ever tried. The balm was very thin. It lasted about five to ten minutes on my lips before wearing off. When it wore off, my lips were left dehydrated. Reapplying didn't help.
The only upside: The product was in a tube that was easy to carry around.
Overall, this lip balm didn't serve its purpose and was a waste of money.

I quite like this lip balm. My lips were really chapped and I would wake up with blood on my lips. I put this on at night and my lips feel better the next day. I also like that this one has a bit of a shine and is oilier but I can't use it under lipstick like my other burt's bees.

I've used almost every Burt's Bees lip balm in existence and this one is by far the worst. It is runny, oily, and doesn't absorb at all. I thought when it said "Ultra Moisturizing" that I would love this. But it isn't moisturizing at all, it never sinks in and my lips have seen zero benefit from using this. I keep it around only because I feel like I shouldn't throw it out because it was expensive. If you are determined to try something by Burt's try their pomegranate or honey varieties. I used to buy Burt's all the time but since they went big I have noticed that their products seem to be declining in quality.

This product did not help my lips from being chapped at all. Worse, it seemed runny and oily upon application. Used a few times and then threw away. Was not worth the trouble to suffer through using up the product.

It seems I have an odd fascination with trying out all the various Burt's Bees lip balm incarnations and flavors. Must be why the company creates so many. The kokum butter balm is definitely middle of the road: smells fine, feels fine, mildly conditioning, but ultimately I prefer the mango butter flavor because it's much more moisturizing and long-lasting. I wouldn't repurchase this product because there are better options available.

I don't care for this lip balm at all. It has a nice scent and taste but as far as being "ultra" conditioning it is anything but. When I apply it 10 minutes later it is gone and my lips don't feel any better. I will stick with the Burt's Bees beeswax with vitamin e and peppermint.

This lip balm feels like I'm applying cooking oil to my lips. It does not absorb into my lips at all and only moisturizes them on a very superficial level. The original Burt's Bees has that deep-down moisturizing quality and this is pretty much the exact opposite. Don't fall for the "ultra conditioning" marketing trap.
