Expert Reviews

This Honey Argan Lip Balm feels moisturising and conditioning. It’s gentle and light on the lips and doesn’t have any “taste” which is great. It works best a when warmed up, but spreads easily once it is. The lip balm comes in a cute jar and as someone who tends to lose lip balm tubes, this is ideal! It works well as an overnight lip mask when multiple layers are applied. I also appreciated that the brand is making the effort to use local suppliers where possible and their commitment to using sustainable packaging gets the tick of approval from me!

This beautiful lip balm is crafted with a nourishing blend of oils, beeswax and honey that soothes and protects my lips during the harsh winter months. I love that it’s made in small batches and comes in a glass container. Busy Bee Blossom is a small business with a big heart. Their commitment to ethics, sustainability and social responsibility is evident in everything they do. I’m especially impressed by how much this small brand gives back to local and global communities. Incredible and inspiring work 🙂

I really love the smell of the balm – the honey is so strong and present, and it’s really easy to apply to my lips. It’s also long lasting and does prevent chaffing in this cold weather. I’m really impressed with Louise’s super local, community approach. The product is great, the packaging beautiful and like a true queen bee, she looks after the community with her business.
