Bee wax lip balm is one of the natural personal care products made by the American company Burt's Bees. Beekeeper Burt Shavitz and carpenter Devyn Jacobs launched the business in 1984. Before beginning to make beeswax lip balm, the business first marketed beeswax candles. All of the natural personal care products offered by Burt's Bees today are made with bee wax and other natural ingredients. The business is still dedicated to its basic ideals, which call for only using natural components and making products that are secure for both consumers and the environment. Burt's Bees has consequently emerged as a market leader in natural personal care products.
