Honey has long been a staple in lip products for its soothing properties, and now, with the rise of hot honey, a spicy-sweet twist is breaking into the beauty aisle with products like the Burt’s Bees x Mike’s Hot Honey Moisturizing Lip Balm.
Unlike some lip ingredients with spicy ingredients, this lip balm is non-plumping and focuses on sharing the sweet heat flavor of Mike’s Hot Honey with nourishing benefits. Made with beeswax and Vitamin E—and without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS—this limited-edition lip balm is a treat for fans of all things "swicy" who want to enjoy the flavor of the go-to hot honey brand outside of the kitchen.
While limited supplies last, this co-branded balm will be sold exclusively on Burt's Bees' site and TikTok Shop.
