There isn’t much review data for this set, so the score is marked as thin. Burt’s Bees’ Canadian site shows 4.4 from 37 reviews, and the one complaint we read there was about delivery, not the products.
We couldn’t find a pattern of complaints, so the drawbacks above are facts about the kit rather than things reviewers keep saying. The tubes are small, and it’s made with beeswax, which rules it out for a vegan colleague.
It earns its place here as a Secret Santa that’s hard to get wrong. Nobody’s offended by hand cream, it costs under the usual office limit, and the lip balm will get used even if nothing else does.
What reviewers praise
- Five useful things for the price of one
- Travel sizes that fit in a gym bag or desk drawer
What they complain about
- Everything is travel sized and runs out quickly
- Contains beeswax, so it isn't vegan
- Not for
- Someone who's vegan, or who already has a bathroom full of miniatures they never open.
