burts bees

Burt's Bees skincare products all come, as the name might suggest, from beekeeper Burt and Roxanne Quimby an aspiring beekeeper and journalist who sold honey at markets. Together they started to develop beautiful candles made from excess beeswax, this slowly turned into beauty products; namely lip balm to extend the business. And before you could say 'buzzzzz' distribution spread from New York to Canada, Asia, the UK and into Europe. The rest, as they say, is history and Burt's Bees now has over 150 products within their range, from face care to make-up products all made from natural ingredients with no unnecessary chemicals.

Burt's Bees aims that by 2010 their products will be 100% natural and 100% recycled/biodegradable product and packaging. Zero waste and a reduction in their carbon footprint to 100% renewable energy.
