Cera Alba
No known risks
This wax is used as an emollient and structuring ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified; uncommon contact allergy can occur, particularly with natural wax components.

Cocos Nucifera Oil
No known risks
Coconut-derived emollient oil used to soften skin and support barrier feel. Normal topical cosmetic use has no known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern; very acne-prone or coconut-allergic users may prefer to avoid it for personal tolerance reasons.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
No known risks
Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil is a common emollient rich in fatty acids and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Mentha Piperita Oil
No known risks
Peppermint essential oil is used as a fragrance, flavouring and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety review supports current topical use when products are formulated to avoid irritation and sensitisation. Pulegone content and local sensitivity are formulation-quality considerations; no pregnancy- or developmental-toxicity signal was identified for normal topical use of a compliant finished cosmetic.

Tocopherol
No known risks
Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
No known risks
Plant extract used for antioxidant or soothing properties. Unlike essential oils, cosmetic extracts are not highly concentrated and are used at low levels. Safety concerns associated with essential oil use do not generally apply to cosmetic extracts.
Sources: General cosmetic safety references for botanical extracts and exposure route considerations; essential oil literature discusses concentrated volatile forms rather than dilute extracts.
Glycine Soja Oil
No known risks
Plant-derived emollient oil used to soften skin and support formula texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.
Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Soy-Derived Ingredients as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory
Canola Oil
No known risks
A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

Limonene
No known risks
Limonene is a common fragrance component used at low levels in cosmetics; it is not a pregnancy-specific concern in topical use, but it is a recognised fragrance allergen and may trigger irritation or sensitisation in some people, especially if the product oxidises over time.

Questions about this assessment
Why does Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm have a No known risks rating?
No higher-risk ingredient flags are shown in the assessed entries. Ingredients without a matched rating are marked Not assessed, not No known risks. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Has every ingredient in Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm been assessed?
10 of 10 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.
Does this assessment apply to my Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm?
Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.
Does this pregnancy assessment also establish breastfeeding suitability?
No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.
