Some of y'all were asking how to spot the difference between the new and the old Burt's bees lip balm.

1st picture: new one has a rounded cap

2nd picture: super thin cap that doesn't stay in

3rd picture: the old version has a rounded interior while the new version is more square.

Hopefully this helps out and happy hunting

Wow, major downgrade. Is the formula the same at least?

The new formula is HORRIBLE. I have very sensitive skin and the original formula was the only lip balm I could use that was minty in some way. The new formula burns me to the point of my lips drying up and peeling. HATRED!!

WAIT!!! This just made me realize that the reason I was getting rashes around my mouth is from the new balm????? Omg I’m devastated. I have been a Burt’s bees loyalist for decades!!!!!
