Burt's Bees products

Does anyone use these products? I have the herbal deodorant, but I haven't tried any of the other products. Anyone have any suggestions on what's good in the Burt's Bees line of products?

[MsRuthieB]

Nope. I don't use them. I think they contain honey or bee pollen or something don't they?

[KYactivist]

I don't think they do. He started out making bees wax candles and then went into the other stuff. I'll have to check out the website and see.

The ingredients for the deodorant are: sd alcohol 40-2, water, sage oil, lavandin oil, and lemon oil.

The deodorant should be o.k. then. I just checked out the site too and saw that alot of the products contain beeswax and lanolin, so I won't purchase from them.

I just read that on their site too. That's too bad, because now I won't use their deodorant. Do you know of a good deodorant??

Take a look at this. http://www.tomsofmaine.com/toms/
The drug store in my neighborhood sells their products. I use them and they work pretty good.

Burts Bees products are great, but only some are vegan. They should be fine for vegetarians. Their products are mostly natural and they say that all are safe enough to even eat. Bad thing to tell your husband when your standing next to the testers!

Thanks for the website. A friend of mine uses the toms products. I'll have to try the deodorant. It sure is cheaper than the burts products!!

I use the tomato facial toner, and the translucent loose powder (both vegan) I like them alot.

There's a whole section for Burt's products at the store I work at and they're very popular with customers.

Some of their products are vegan, but from what I understand, they all work great. The lip balm is very popular!

They're all kind of pricey.

From what I understand Burt went to do a demo at a Whole Foods once and he brought his dogs with him, which of course couldn't be in the store all day with him like he wanted them to be, and so he set up a table outside and did his demo in the parking lot all day. :D

Funny guy.

Arbonne's Herbal Foot care works AWESOME as an underarm deoderant. It's cool and tingly and soothing on the pits :)

I used to use Burts Bees products on my son when he was a baby, before I became an Arbonne consultant, and I didn't like the smell of the baby products at all. It's way too strong and judging from the list of ingredients, it's more than likely chemical based.
