Burt’s Bees Shea + Passionfruit Lip Balm in Paper Tube

Fragrance-free means no perfume in the ingredient list. On a label perfume shows up as Parfum or Fragrance, as essential oils, and often as named allergens like Limonene and Linalool that brands have to declare in the EU.

No, Burt’s Bees Shea + Passionfruit Lip Balm in Paper Tube is not fragrance-free. It lists fragrance allergens (Citral, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal and 2 more) that usually come from essential oils or a perfume blend.

This is not a safety warning. Perfume suits most people, but if your skin reacts or you are patch testing, this is the line you came for.
