Burt’s Bees Looks to Nature for Skin Care Line

Burt’s Bees prides itself on using natural plant derived ingredients to formulate its beauty care products from head to toe. There are no chemicals, parabens or sulfates, and never tested on animals. So for their new line of facial skin care products they went deep into the windswept hills of the Mediterranean and found a lone plant that fights for its life against the elements. They discovered Clary Sage that thrives in this harsh environment with its fierce will and innate ability to trap and retain moisture which is the key ingredient in its intense hydration facial cleanser, treatment mask, day lotion, night lotion, and eye cream. Other key ingredients are the probiotic technology to nourish skin, bitter orange peel extract to enhance water retention, mafura butter and Tucuma butter that are emollient and antioxidant rich. The day lotion is so hydrating, you can use it under makeup and skip the primer as it smooths the skin. Prices range from $9-18 and are sold in Whole Foods, CVS, and Duane Reade.

For their new Ultimate care hand cream and body lotion, Burt’s Bees scoured the earth to find the Tree of Life, the Baobab Tree which has been used by centuries by women in the African Savannah to guard against the harsh dry climate. Combined with watermelon seed oil, pumpkin seed oil and green tea extract, this nourishing cream keeps the skin supple all day long. Prices range from $9.99-12.99.
