Alviana - Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetics) - Classic Feuchtigkeitspflege (Moisturiser)
This is a lip balm with organic jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil.
It doesn't contain any synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, silicones, or mineral oil-based ingredients.
The scent is faint and a mix of beeswax and shea butter.
It goes on smoothly, the product itself not too hard or too soft.
It isn't too sticky, my hair didn't get stuck in it.
After just one night of use, my lips are a lot less dry. I like it.
Price: ($2.35 for 4.5g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (faint shea butter and beeswax)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Monte-Bianco - Zahnseide fil Dentaire - Dental Floss
This is a silk dental floss with unscented beeswax, even part of the packaging is made from cornstarch!
It worked well as a dental floss but the packaging was quite annoying, the floss kept on getting lost in the packaging, which is annoying as all heck.
Overall, this was ok.
Price: 1/5 ($7.62 for 50m)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Burt's Bees - Lipstick - 501 Blush Basin
This product immediately intrigued me when it was released.
I always wanted to try something from Burt's Bees but don't really like lip balms.
The colour intensity is moderate (not full coverage, but close enough), the formula goes on smoothly, lasts at least 4 hours, and is moisturising.
It has a satin finish and faint floral scent.
It can do that weird thing that beeswax can do when it experiences temperature changes and forms hard beads of wax. The emulsion in it can be broken and I'm not sure how to reverse it without taking the lipstick out of the container.
The packaging does feel a little flimsy, but it doesn't break and any ascetic issue can be forgiven since the packaging is recyclable.
Although I must say I LOVE the hexagons on the cap <3 The little beehive motif is adorable.
This isn't the best formula I have used, but is a nice option if you want a more environmentally friendly option.
Price: 2/5 ($19.95 for 3.4g)
Scent: 3/5 (faint floral scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Body Shop - Spa Wisdom - Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub
I got this after my Ex's mother said good things about it (I still miss her she was great).
It is a salt-based scrub that is lovely and fine and is easily washed off with water.
It also contains Ximenia oil, shea butter and beeswax.
It smells like a waxy shea butter and it is soooo lovely!
And the jar can be cleaned and reused... the packaging is amazing!
The only reason I don't use it constantly is the price ($37.95 for 350mL). It does last a while but I'd rather save my pennies for anti-headache Botox.
Price: 1/5 (RRP $37.95 for 350mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
