As the title says, I'm looking for a Canadian replacement for Burt's Bees, specifically their lip balm. Would like to stick with something that uses similar ingredients so that it feels similar.

I'm looking into Nova Scotia Fisherman, but thought I'd ask here if anyone knows of any other brands to check out!

The Apothecary in Calgary has a series of lip balms made in-house, that all have beeswax in them (they have complete ingredient listings for all their products on their site)

The tins are approx. twice the price of a Burt's tube, and you're also getting ~3 times the volume of product, so it's a decent trade off.

If there any hives around/outside your city, they may manufacture lip balms as well. Pop in if they advertise visits - or there may be a communal apiarist run shop like we have here - all the bee related products you could hope for, produced by the hives of the local beekeepers.

I forgot about this place! Looks like they have almond oil in their lip balms, so I can’t use them, but a good reminder to check out the rest of their stuff again.
