Busting Loose Competitors

Burt's Bees is the #1 dermatologist recommended natural skincare brand, offering clean and consciously-crafted products to work with the skin and uplift the spirit. We believe that nature holds the key to healthy skin, so we create skin care formulas that are packed with powerful, nutrient-rich ingredients for skin that’s nourished, balanced and beautiful. Our formulas reflect evidence-based natural skin care learnings, and are crafted to work with skin’s natural pace of renewal by nourishing emerging cells and supporting the hydro-lipid barrier. Our nutrient-rich ingredients deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and other phytonutrients to address specific skin care concerns. Formulas are over 95% Natural Origin, with no animal testing, responsible sourcing, and recyclable packaging. As a company, Burt’s Bees operates with a triple bottom line - people, profit, planet - because you simply can’t have one without the other two. We actively nurture our employees, our customers, our families, ourselves and our environment. By practicing what we preach, we hope to set an example for others to follow, and help people connect with the wisdom, power and beauty of nature in their daily lives.

Every brand builds itself on a philosophy. It’s what defines them, shapes them, makes or breaks them. It’s what prompts people to gravitate towards or turn away from them. Our approach to skincare keeps in mind that everyone is unique, and that applies to their skin, too. We believe in allowing skin to function naturally, with as little interference as possible. We love products that benefit the skin in a gentle way. We appreciate that you’re the person who’s most familiar with how your skin behaves and reacts to the changing seasons and products you use, and we’ll always be there to help you find the perfect products and skincare routines. We believe that fresh is best. While fruit is growing on a tree, it receives a constant flow of energy. As soon as it’s picked, it starts to decompose. The sooner we use it, the higher its nutrients and the greater the benefit to your skin. With that in mind, we regularly stock our fridge with the finest, freshest ingredients ready to be mixed together and turned into your favorite products. A great example is our Fresh Face Masks, which are made and sent out to stores every week so that your skin can soak up the benefits of all the nutrients and enzymes packed into each mask. It’s the freshest way to keep skin happy! We incorporate our strongest beliefs into the sourcing, production and selling of each product. We never test on animals, nor do we work with anyone who does. Plus, we’re passionate and resolute when it comes to our sourcing process. We put so much love and care into our products, and it’s vital for us to work with suppliers who do the same. Our dedicated ethical buying team is tasked with researching and meeting with suppliers whose values align with ours. If they tick all the boxes, they go into our skincare products.
