A Burt's Bees Product

Burt's Bees is an earth-friendly, personal-care products company. Originating in Maine in the 1980s, the business began by bottling and selling honey, a practice that slowly diminished as the company evolved as a corporation. Eventually, other products using honey and beeswax, including edible spreads and furniture polish, were sold, before moving into the personal care line.

In 1992, the Burt's Bees operation moved to North Carolina.

Current merchandise includes lip care (e.g. lip balm, lip shimmer), facial care (e.g. cleanser, moisturizer) and body care (e.g. soap, lotion, shampoo) products.

Burt's Bees uses natural and/or organic sources, and often describe each ingredient in detail on the product. In addition, every product has a "natural bar" which gives a percentage of natural ingredients in that product.

Burt's Bees products come in regular and sample sizes which are available in natural and specialty food markets (e.g. Trader Joe's & Whole Foods Market). In 2005, the traditional pharmacy chains, CVS and Walgreens, began selling the products. They are also sold at Borders Books outlets.

Burt's Outlet is the online store. There, excess or discontinued products are discounted (25-50% off). A "grab bag" of random items is a popular choice.
