SUMMARY: Most of us grab whatever lip balm is at the checkout. It does the job, mostly. But switch to something better and the difference shows up fast. We compared a typical drugstore balm with Honeybalm and found 7 differences you’ll notice within a week.

  1. It melts on instead of dragging.
    💛 Texture

    1. It melts on instead of dragging.

    Many drugstore balms are firm wax sticks that drag across dry lips. Honeybalm melts on smoothly with a glossy-looking finish and a non-sticky feel. You notice it on the very first swipe.

  2. You’ll actually reach for it.
    👜 Daily Use

    2. You’ll actually reach for it.

    A balm you enjoy gets used. By the end of the first week, it’s part of your morning and bedtime routine instead of sitting at the bottom of your bag.

  3. A short list of ingredients you can name.
    🐝 The Formula

    3. A short list of ingredients you can name.

    Many drugstore balms list twenty or more ingredients. Honeybalm is built around three heroes: comforting beeswax, which helps protect lips from feeling dry, propolis for a comforting feel and conditioning vitamin E.

  4. No more fingers in the pot.
    🥄 Honeyspoon

    4. No more fingers in the pot.

    Drugstore pots need a fingertip. Sticks touch your lips, then go back into your pocket. Honeybalm’s Honeyspoon is built into the lid: scoop, swipe, done.

  5. It tastes like a treat, not wax.
    🍓 Flavors

    5. It tastes like a treat, not wax.

    Most drugstore balms are unflavored or faintly waxy. Honeybalm comes in 25+ flavors, from Honey to Cherry to Pumpkin Spice, plus 10 limited editions this month.

  6. It’s cute enough to leave out.
    🎁 The Jar

    6. It’s cute enough to leave out.

    Drugstore balms disappear into drawers. Honeybalm’s little jars live on desks and nightstands, which is exactly where you’ll remember to use them.

Difference #7: Right now, it costs less than you’d think.

Honeybalm costs more than a drugstore stick. But its Black Friday sale is 1+1 free on as many balms as you like, which closes much of the gap.

“I ordered these adorable little honeybalms as gifts for coworkers but who knew I would become an addict!?! I’ve made 2 additional orders since Christmas and have shared these with everyone I know as well as currently have a collection of over 15 flavors plus lip scrubs. Living in Vegas, the dryness is REAL yet I haven’t had a dry cracked lip since the moment I received my first order and applied this liquid heaven to my lips! Love it! Thank you!!”
