Burt's Bees Strawberry Lip Balm

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Burt's Bees Strawberry Lip Balm scores 51/100 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 Strawberry Lip Balm lists 17 ingredients, starting with Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Cera Alba, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil and Aroma. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 51/100 Burt's Bees Strawberry Lip Balm lands mid-scale — below the typical score in lip balm & care, but clear of the bottom band.
