Beeswax, propolis, vitamin E: What’s actually in the lip balm everyone’s buying

Honeybalm, the pocket-size pot with a built-in silicone “Honeyspoon,” has more than 700,000 customers and was voted Product of the Year 2026. So what’s actually in it?

Let's have a look at the label.

Before we get to the formula: the Honeyspoon tucked into the lid means no fingers in the pot.

Honeybalm

Beeswax, for starters. It’s known for its protective properties and gives the balm its comforting feel.

Then there’s propolis, a hive-born ingredient traditionally valued in skincare.

And vitamin E, known for its conditioning properties.

The result is a smooth, glossy balm that melts on, in more than 25 flavors that fans collect like trading cards.

Customers say they reach for it three to four times a day, and in the brand’s 2026 survey, 96% of VIP customers said they’d recommend it.

Same bee-loved trio, 25+ different flavors.

The Honeyspoon keeps things tidy. It scoops and swipes the balm on without a fingertip ever touching the pot. Nurses, busy moms and the long-nail lovers are big fans.

It really stands out as a gift: almost half of Honeybalm’s US shoppers say they buy it for someone else.

And if you have second thoughts, every order comes with a 30-day return window.
