About Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care

Burt's Bees is an "Earth Friendly, Natural Personal Care Company that creates natural, Earth-friendly personal care products formulated to help you maximize your well-being and that of the world around you.

To make certain that all of Burt's Bees products meet the highest standards, as well as their dedication to ensuring The Greater Good, Burt's Bees products are carefully crafted from time-tested, proven recipes using ingredients that are the best nature has to offer: beeswax, botanical and essential oils, herbs, flowers and minerals. These safe, effective ingredients have withstood the test of time. And because of that, they never use any ingredient that isn't proven safe and effective such as petroleum-synthesized fillers like mineral oil and propylene glycol. Burt's Bees don't use artificial preservatives such as methyl paraben or diazolidinyl urea.

In addition, Burt's Bees is committed to the highest levels of environmental sensitivity in the choice of our packaging, using materials that are recycled and recyclable. They don't want to create any additional garbage on the planet, and work hard to reduce, reuse and recycle. For example, before Burt's Bees would launch their world famous lip balm in a plastic tube, it took us years to convince a plastic company to make recycled plastic for us. Now, that very same company is one of the leading manufacturers of recycled plastic. Their hard work has been rewarded, not only by a cleaner planet, but also by the Triangle Business Journal, which gave us their Eco Hero award to commend our recycling program.
