Burt’s Bees’ lip balm is a case study in “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it." It’s one of the first products Burt’s Bees founders Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby made in 1991, and there’s a good chance this golden tube of zingy lip balm was one of the first things you ever bought with your own money. The simple, all-natural formula hasn’t really changed over the past 30 years, either: The best Burt’s Bees lip balms all contain the brand’s signature, responsibly sourced beeswax, a natural emollient that works to condition dry lips and retain moisture. But the company has since rolled out a few updates to the original lip balm, including equally nourishing (and affordable) lip tints, shimmers, and treatments. Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the wild of Maine, USA in the early 1980s after leaving their hectic city lives to be at one with nature. Together, they got friendly with some bees and started to jar up their beeswax. Before you knew it, their beeswax was sold worldwide – in lip balms, hand creams and more. Burt & Roxanne’s mission was clear: to make accessible skin care products, using only the best, natural ingredients that are good for your skin. Our Mission and Vision - Burt's Bees".

All-natural? Absolutely. Vegan? Nope. Obviously, there’s beeswax in Burt's Bees products, but lanolin is also animal-derived — it’s secreted by the oil glands of wool-bearing animals, and it’s included in lots of cosmetics because of its emollient properties. Keep this in mind if purchasing vegan products is important for you. (That said, Burt’s Bees is Leaping Bunny-certified, since they’re cruelty-free and don’t test on animals.) Wirt, Sophie.

Burt's Bees manufactures products with natural ingredients, [8] using minimal processing, such as distillation/condensation, extraction/steamed distillation/pressure cooking, and hydrolysis, to maintain the purity of ingredients. [9] In addition, every product has a "natural bar" which gives a percentage of natural ingredients in that product, often with detailed ingredient descriptions.

In 2017, Burt's Bees introduced a full cosmetics line, including products such as foundation, mascara, eye shadow, and blush. [22]I used a combination of equal parts shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax (the pellets work best here). This is a really nice ratio and combination because it's a nice firm lib balm that still melts really smoothly onto your lips. I went with unprocessed/natural versions of these products and so my lip balm in that pleasant natural yellowy/tan color. You can get white versions of all of these and your lib balm will be white! I looked a little into colorants but not enough to have an opinion about. They do make cosmetic/food grade colors that you can add but I didn't try this. Co-founder Shavitz died in July 2015 at the age of 80 and was buried in Bangor, Maine. In his final years, he had lived on 37-acre (15ha) plot of land in Parkman, Maine. [21] Ohnesorge, Lauren K.
