Are we intrigued by this unlikely and entirely unnecessary collaboration? Yes.

Do we want to apply ranch dressing-flavored lip balm to our lips? That would be a no…..?

Honestly, we find this collaboration unexpected and somewhat charming, but will probably not take part. Burt’s Bees teaming up with Hidden Valley Ranch is more publicity and silly marketing than anything, though there are indeed ranch dressing aficionados who will immediately swoop in on this.

The collaboration is sold out at the moment, though we’re told it is coming back for another round.

Flavors include: Hidden Valley Ranch​, Crunchy Celery​, Fresh Carrot​, and Buffalo Sauce. Need we remind people that lip balm is not for eating?

  1. Really stupid. People may actually try to eat it.

    I used to go to this place that served great “death sauce” chicken wings and Once I made a major mistake…whilst my lips were still on fire I applied lip balm. It’s like pouring salt and vinegar to a paper cut on your knuckle.
    So, no matter how much I rely on my Burt’s Bees pomegranate lip balm I will never try their Buffalo sauce lip balm, been there done that 🤪

  3. This is the silliest publicity stunt I’ve ever heard of! Are you sure it’s not from the Onion???
