Channel childhood memories of soda-flavored lip balm with this stocking stuffer. This pack includes Burt’s Bees popular conditioning lip balm made with beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and fruit extracts. It includes four tropical flavors — Berry Agua Fresca, Dragonfruit Lemon, Coconut & Pear, and Tropical Pineapple.

As our digital designer, Hunter Young, shares, “Growing up, I was always thrilled to find the fun cola-flavored lip smackers in my stocking under the tree. Over the years, the lime and orange soda flavored balms were replaced with more "adult" brand of chapsticks. Burt's Bees has easily become one of my favorite brands to get. The tropical pack offers unique flavors and leaves my lips feeling hydrated without a layer of thick residue."
