We totally understand Kelley Day’s choice of a beauty staple.
"I can't live without lip balm," she shared with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at a recent Burt’s Bees event held in Mitsukoshi BGC.
While the Philippines only experiences two seasons, the cooler ber months can still leave Filipinos with chapped lips.
For Kelley, lip care has always been essential:
"Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had dry lips. Especially when I go home to the U.K.—kasi malamig doon, and the weather is dry—so my lips always get super dry.
"I always have either petroleum jelly or lip balm with me."
Recognizing this common issue, Burt’s Bees has made it a holiday tradition to release gift sets featuring its best-selling product: the lip balm.
Daye De Los Reyes, the brand head, told PEP:
"We stick to the classics because they are the favorites of our consumers.
"It’s a versatile gift suitable for anyone—you can never go wrong with it. It’s useful all year round and made with natural ingredients.
"Ours is just made of beeswax. The moisturizing essence of beeswax, that's gonna touch your lips."
Launched in 1991, the lip balm has gained popularity not only in the U.S. but also in various parts of the world.
Daye continued, "In fact, lip balms are very big in Korea. Burt's Bees is very big in Korea because Koreans love the natural. You know, and it's seldom that a brand, a foreign brand, not a Korean brand, makes it big in Korea.”
BURT’S BEES HOLIDAY GIFT SETS IN A GIST
Daye went on to describe this year's offerings, which are quite a steal.
“We are very much into our brand ethos, which is sustainability. So I think every year, we find ways to make our gifts not only delightful, but sustainable.
"So everything is responsibly sourced.
"The shea butter, the beeswax, the honey. There's no plastic...
"Of course, everything is made out of recyclable packaging."
