[edit] emotion reference removed

I removed a line reading it was 'sad' that Burt's Bees claims to move away from small earth-friendly retailers, as biases should not be conveyed in encyclopedias.

[edit] Unreferences Items

'Since the private equity group involvement the products have had a much wider distribution. None of the original founders are currently involved with the company.'

I removed the line above since it was unreferenced and seems somewhat opinion-based. Also, after researching into the history, Burt Shavitz sold his share of the company to the other co-founder Roxanne Quimby who still holds a seat on their board. I would consider that as being 'involved with the company' but maybe no direct influence into their day-to-day stuff.
