Burt's Bees Lip Balm - past and present
Dates in parentheses are dates in which the flavor/scent first appeared on the Burt's Bees website. Three balms were listed when the site went live in 2005 - Beeswax, Honey, and Lifeguard's Choice. There are a few anomalies, like Açaí - it was featured on the Lip Care banner picture in 2008, but wasn't listed for purchase until 2010. 2015 seems to be the year that the adjective names were replaced with the scent/flavor names... except Island! Some of the exclusive balms were never on the website, like Caramel Apple, Kiwi Melon, and Strawberry Sorbet, so dates for those items may be off. Balms released before 2023 are listed alphabetically. Balms released 2023 and later will be listed in a time-line fashion at the bottom of the page.

Also, these fantastic Lip Butters that started coming out in 2017, I believe (that's the copyright date on the tin). There have been 6 so far. Blackberry & Hibiscus and Vanilla & Clove are already hard to find.
New! 2022 - These Lip Balm tins are slightly smaller (0.3 oz vs 0.4 oz) than the Lip Butters, but are still twice the size of a Lip Balm stick!
