Burt's Bees Beaches and Cream SPF 30 Lip Balm

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Burt's Bees Beaches and Cream SPF 30 Lip Balm scores 52/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Burt's Bees Beaches and Cream SPF 30 Lip Balm lists 20 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Cera Alba, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 52/100 Burt's Bees Beaches and Cream SPF 30 Lip Balm lands mid-scale — below the typical score in lip balm & care, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in lip balm & care is Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm - Orange Ginger at 100/100.
