Now you have two reasons to pucker up!

While the original Burt’s Bees Lip Balm was peppermint flavored, they’ve since branched out into a wide range of different flavors, including Birthday Cake and Cookies & Cream. And over the last couple years, they’ve also started partnering with established brands for short-lived flavor options like 2024’s Hidden Valley Ranch Lip Balm and 2025’s Mike’s Hot Honey Lip Balm.

And for their latest collaboration, rumor has it they’ve teamed up with Grillo’s Pickles (makers of some of the best pickles) to release a limited edition cucumber dill lip balm.

While we don’t have confirmation yet, @markie_devo posted product shots of the lip balm and says it has been spotted at Walmart—where it will also, allegedly, be exclusively sold.

There are also already reviews online. And they emphasize that it doesn’t give the pickle-flavor you might have expected. One tester in the “Pickle Addicts (not so anonymous)” Facebook group described it as “Not very pickly. Has just slight cucumber scent but not bad,” while another in the “Pickle Recipe” Facebook group wrote “It’s actually really nice. More like a sweet cucumber melon with a slight brine.”

So, it sounds perfect if you’re just looking for a nice, cooling flavor. But you’re really searching out some strong pickle flavor, you could try e.l.f.’s recent pickle lip gloss. (Or you could, if it hadn’t quickly sold out.) Or you could always just paint your lips in the leftover pickle juice from an actual jar of Grillo’s Pickles. (Just sayin’!)
