Which to choose

It depends on what you want.

If you want sun protection, choose a lip product labeled with SPF. Numbrrrz is a moisturizing balm and has no SPF.

If you like Burt's Bees's texture, scent or format, it may still be the right pick for you. Formulas vary by variety and change over time, so check the current label.

If you prefer a short, USDA Organic plant-oil-and-beeswax balm in a larger 0.5 oz (14 g) tube, Numbrrrz is built for that.
