Burt's Bees is a leading manufacturer of Earth-friendly natural personal care products.

There are ingredients that you will never find in any Burt's Bees product. Things like petroleum, which is not a renewable resource and can be toxic. Sodium lauryl sulfate, which is a harsh, aggressive ingredient used in most cleansing products like shampoo.

They use only natural colors in all the 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. As far as fragrance components go, they use them only when absolutely necessary, and all of their fragrances are phthalate-free.

Burt's Bees products contain only gentle, natural preservatives, like those made from sugar enzymes, that both inhibit the growth of microorganisms and enhance product stability. They are proud to have developed a natural preservative for some of their water-based products (such as lotion) that mimics the defense systems found in the human body.

What could be more natural than that?
