Company Statement:
"PRACTICING WHAT WE PREACH: Earth-friendly isn't just something that we put on our packaging. At Burt's Bees, we believe that sustainable business practices are always the best practices. Our ingredients and packaging choices reflect our careful consideration of the impact our activities will have on our environment and the overall health and well-being of all living things on Earth.
We believe in utilizing the most environmentally friendly packaging systems available in the commercial market today. We hope to set an example and send the message that successful businesses are built on long term, enduring values that have and will continue to stand the test of time. The eco-friendly packaging choices we make are part of our effort to reduce the mountains of waste created by the packaged goods industry."
Burt's Bees only use the most natural, effective ingredients to put in their products, things that are "harvested from nature." There are ingredients that you will never find in any Burt's Bees product. Things like petroleum which can be toxic. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is a harsh, aggressive ingredient used in certain beauty products.
Burts Bees only use natural colors in their products. Some of these include Beta-Carotene, Chlorophyll, Titanium Dioxide and Mica. These natural colors have been proven safe unlike many artificial colors that have been banned by the FDA over the years. Fragrance is only used when necessary, and it's always Phthalate-free.
All products are labeled with a disclosure of exactly how natural that specific product is. Many of the products are 100% natural, but sometimes they can't be. For example, Vitamin E is an essential part of any skin care regimen, but it does not remain stable in its natural state. So when you see the words Tocopheryl Acetate on a label, it's stands for Vitamin E. No artificial preservatives like Methyl Paraben or Diazolidinyl Urea are used, only gentle, natural preservatives that both inhibit the growth of microorganisms and enhance product stability.
None of Burt's Bees products or ingredients have been tested on animals. A few of our products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly and milk.
Most of the products and packaging are created in part from recycled materials, or have been developed with re-use in mind.
