Burt's Bees Nourishing Eyeliner Soft Black — Slim Cedar Pencil, 99.9% Natural & Smudge-Resistant

Burt's Bees Nourishing Eyeliner in Soft Black is a 99.9% natural cedar wood pencil that delivers long-wearing, smudge-resistant definition while conditioning the delicate eye area.

This slim, artisanal pencil blends rich Soft Black color with plant-derived oils—jojoba, mango and responsibly sourced meadowfoam seed—to create a glide-on liner that resists fading and feels comfortable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. The formula avoids parabens, phthalates, SLS, petrolatum, silicones and synthetic fragrances, and the cedar wood barrel is responsibly sourced. Ophthalmologist-tested and cruelty-free, the liner offers a natural cosmetic option for everyday eye definition.

How does this eyeliner stay put without irritating sensitive eyes?

The formula balances a creamy glide with pigments designed to resist smudging and fading on the lash line. Because it relies largely on plant-based oils and avoids common irritants, it’s gentle for people who experience sensitivity or wear contact lenses.

• 99.9% natural ingredients reduce exposure to synthetic irritants
• Jojoba, mango and meadowfoam seed oils condition skin along the lash line
• Ophthalmologist-tested for safe daily use near the eye
• Smudge- and fade-resistant pigments maintain definition through the day

What’s the best way to apply Soft Black for different looks?

The pencil’s slim tip and smooth texture make it versatile: use short, light strokes for a subtle, natural line or build intensity with multiple passes for a smoky or defined look. It works on both upper and lower lash lines and blends easily with a smudger or brush for softer edges.

• Short, feathery strokes for a natural lash-enhancing line
• Layered passes for deeper, graphic definition
• Smudge with a brush for a smoky finish
• Works on waterline when applied gently and with contact lens safety in mind

How does the pencil’s construction and ingredients benefit my skin and the environment?

The eyeliner is housed in a cedar wood pencil that’s responsibly sourced, giving a more sustainable option than plastic casings. The nourishing blend of plant oils supports the delicate skin near the eyes, helping maintain comfort during wear without adding heavy or greasy residue.

• Cedar wood barrel from responsible sources lowers plastic use
• Meadowfoam and jojoba oils help condition the lash line
• Free from parabens, phthalates, SLS, petrolatum and synthetic fragrances
• Cruelty-free and ophthalmologist-tested for ethical and safety considerations

Ideal for people who value responsibly sourced packaging and cruelty-free testing, this liner provides a plant-forward option for defining and enhancing eye color without heavy synthetic additives.
