Have you heard about Burt’s Bees? An incredible story about how 2 people left their city-loving lives and moved to a remote pristine wilderness raising bees.
Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the early 1980s. In their former lives, Burt worked as a photojournalist in Manhattan, and Roxanne was an artist living in San Francisco. Each left behind the harried pace of city life to seek freedom in the remote, pristine wilderness of Maine.
They valued the simple life and knew the importance and personal worth of staying connected to nature. Their lifestyle was low-impact, and socially and environmentally conscious. As back-to-basics, D-I-Y types, they were ahead of their time—their approach is as compelling now as ever.
Roxanne used to say that since we take from nature, we must respect and preserve it. Today, we follow in her and Burt’s footsteps by using the best ingredients from nature and respecting nature so we can all live well.
I adore a brand that doesn’t test on animals because it’s a brand that is committed to responsible sourcing of ingredients. It has recyclable packaging and respects nature (they are CarbonNeutral certified). Burt’s Bees does it all.
I’m excited to share with you some amazing products that are 100% and made with love.
Burts Bees Products
Burt’s Bees Mango Lip Balm
The brand’s most iconic product, Mango Butter, a naturally nourishing balm that smoothes dry lips.
Tinted Lip Balm R99
This balm coats the lips in a sheer veil of colour combined with 8 hours of intense moisture. The Botanical Waxes in these softly tinted balms are a real treat for parched, dry lips.
Lip Shimmer R99
Shea Butter and antioxidant-rich Fruit Oils moisturize, nourish, and soften lips naturally. A burst of minty freshness is definitely a favourite for me.
Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream R125
As someone who rarely used cuticle oil, this balm is everything! I love this nourishing, healing balm that also has a fresh lemon scent. The formula works to nourish dry, brittle nails as it moisturizes and softens cuticles. Definitely a favourite of the range!
