Burt's Bees products

what do you think of them? heard any bad things? I think I want to try them but not sure.... any suggestions

 

I like them.. they don't put any weird stuff in their products and thats cool with me.

 

I really dig on the chap stick..BUT I REALLY LIKE

dr. bronners liquid and bar soaps...

 

well, a few years ago, there was a big stink about how they really screwed over some WAHM small businesses when the company was sold to a big corporation, but that's ancient history by now. Most of their products do contain artificial fragrances that cause me to have a serious reaction. The fragrance in the baby lotion irritates one of my children's skin, but not the other. Compared to the other crap you can buy at Walmart, they are much preferable, but I'd rather give my money to a smaller company who doesn't use questionable ingredients.

 

I LOVE Burt's Bees. I actually bought some today, the lip balm and two kinds of toothpaste, one for me and one for my son. I've used the shampoo bar, the facial soap, the lotion, the body cream, the soap, the toothpaste, three kinds of lip balm, and the lip shimmer. It makes my skin so soft and it's all natural. And the prices are totally reasonable too.

 

I really like everything I've tried from them!!

 

I relly like the lip balm

 

I like the chapstick but so far thats about it.... the lotions arent doing shit for my skin

 

no offense to burt or his bees but if you have some olive oil, beesswax, a vitamin E acap and maybe a little essential oil, you can make all that in your kitchen. I recycle the old containers and just refill it. There's so much crap in commercial products it's insane..

 

You are right. I didn't realize just how bad they were until I spoke to one of my patients who works at a chemical plant that makes household goods. Things like 409, shampoo's, lotions, makeups, detergants....etc. Well, he went completely natural and organic after taking that job. He told me he isn't even authorized to speak about what goes into the stuff to the public!! He signed a contract! OMG that is crazy right..He said to me...ruth if you only knew what goes into that stuff...he said it's unethical!!!! so since this man changed his entire life after taking that job-that says something! He even changed his diet due to what goes in food and what not! so ur right...it's BAD NEWS!
hooray for all us natural hippies!

 

I love dr bronner's pepermint hemp soap...that stuff rocks.

 

oh and I love the coconut foot lotion and the tinted chapstick. I wear a lot of eye-make-up but hate lipstick so it's perfect.

 

I really liked the Honey-flavored lip balm. I plan to try the other products in the future. Unfortunately, around here the products are rather expensive. But I'd rather pay the price for a natural organic product than buy something cheap that has dangerous chemicals in it.

 

Had their lip bomb and their deodorant... like em both...not tested on animals..

 

well as a vegan i wont touch their items as they contain small traces and even bigger in some things of beeswax, not to mention honey and honey derivitives.

 

yes dr bronners is an absolutely wonderful invention...i use it for EVERYTHING

 

Burt's Bee's is not organic or all natural. Organic means that all the products are botanical and are not contaminated with pesticides, something the company does not claim. All natural is an iffy term nowadays, and burt's bees definetly has certain non naturaly derived chemicals. If you want truly organic products that are super good for you, try terressentials.com. I use their stuff all the time and its great.

 

I live 15 minutes away from the dr bronner place. you can take empty bottles in and fill up for two bucks, it's awesome!

 

arent they the ones that make the butt cream?
