Get the most out of your Portland Bee Balm with these simple tips for best results.
Glide balm over lips whenever they feel dry. The balm melts on contact with body heat for easy application.
Apply a generous layer before sleep for overnight healing. Wake up to soft, nourished lips.
Apply before heading outdoors to protect lips from wind, cold, and dry air. Reapply after eating or drinking.
Portland Bee Balm delivers what conventional lip balms promise but rarely deliver: true moisturization from clean, locally-sourced ingredients.
Unlike conventional lip balms that rely on petroleum jelly (which creates a temporary seal but doesn't actually moisturize), Portland Bee Balm uses beeswax with organic coconut oil and shea butter that actually penetrate and heal dry lips. Petroleum-based products can create dependency—your lips feel dry again quickly, requiring constant reapplication. Portland Bee Balm's natural botanical oils break this cycle by truly nourishing lips at a cellular level.
The beeswax comes from Pacific Northwest beekeepers practicing sustainable, ethical beekeeping. This supports local economies, reduces carbon footprint from transportation, and ensures the highest quality wax free from contaminants. Most commercial lip balms use imported beeswax of unknown origin and quality.
Portland Bee Balm contains absolutely no parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, or preservatives. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: beeswax, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, and vitamin E. That's it. You can pronounce and recognize every single ingredient. This transparency is rare in the personal care industry where "natural" often still means a product loaded with questionable additives.
Small-batch production means each tube receives individual attention and quality control. Mass-produced lip balms sacrifice consistency and freshness for volume. Portland Bee Balm's handcrafted approach ensures you're getting a fresh product made with care, not churned out on an assembly line months ago.
Free from common irritants like synthetic fragrances, menthol, camphor, and artificial flavors. Safe for even the most sensitive lips.
Supports local beekeepers, uses organic ingredients, and avoids petroleum-derived products. Better for you and better for the planet.
