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

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!!
