Hidden Valley teamed up with Burt's Bees to create chicken wing-inspired lip balm

Cheezy Ranch is not the first collaboration for Hidden Valley Ranch in 2024.

In January the company teamed up with Burt's Bees to combine all the flavors of a basket of wings into a line of lip balms that were only available for a limited time.

The lip balm line featured flavors of Hidden Valley Ranch, Buffalo Sauce, Crunchy Celery and Fresh Carrot.
