What’s In Your Lip Balm Matters

Why What’s In Your Lip Balm Matters: A Comparison of Ingredients

At Wisconsin Bee Company, we believe what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. That’s why our Beeswax Lip Balm is made with simple, clean, and nourishing ingredients you can feel good about—starting with beeswax from our own hives right here in Wisconsin.

But how does our formula stack up against big-name competitors? Let’s take a closer look.

Wisconsin Bee Co. Beeswax Lip Balm

• Beeswax – Natural barrier that seals in moisture (sourced from our own hives!)

• Organic Sunflower Oil – Lightweight and rich in vitamin E, promoting healing

• Organic Coconut Oil – Antibacterial and deeply moisturizing

• Organic Flavor – Subtle, natural taste without synthetic additives

• Vitamin E – Antioxidant-rich to protect and soothe lips

• Organic Rosemary & Calendula Extracts – Naturally calming and antimicrobial

• Organic Stevia – A hint of sweetness without sugar or chemicals

These are ingredients you can pronounce, trust, and trace—each one chosen with care for your lips and your health.

A Typical Competitor’s Lip Balm

While some ingredients like beeswax, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E are shared, other additives in conventional lip balms raise red flags:

• Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil – Can cause irritation in sensitive skin

• Lanolin – A potential allergen derived from wool

• Soybean and Canola Oils – Often genetically modified and heavily processed

• Limonene – A synthetic fragrance component known to irritate skin and degrade in sunlight

These ingredients may be common, but that doesn’t make them better. Many are irritants or low-grade fillers that do little to support lip health.

Why Choose Wisconsin Bee Company?

When you buy our beeswax lip balm, you're getting more than a quality product:

• Made with local beeswax

• Free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and questionable additives

• Crafted with organic, plant-based ingredients

• Made in small batches right here in Wisconsin

• Part of a broader mission to support pollinators, local agriculture, and environmental stewardship

So next time you reach for lip balm, ask yourself: Is it just about soft lips—or about supporting something bigger, healthier, and more natural?

With Wisconsin Bee Company, it’s all of the above.
