it all started with...
Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the remote Maine wilderness in the early 1980s. Burt had learned to keep bees and had been selling honey roadside. Roxanne apprenticed and found a book of recipes that they used to transform their beeswax into candles and lip balm. Like the forest outside of Burt’s 300-square-foot-turkey-coop-turned-cabin, everything flourished from there.
At Burt's Bees, we prioritize sustainability at every step of our production process. We carefully select natural ingredients from reliable and responsible sources.
When manufacturing, Burt's Bees is committed to reducing waste at every stage of production.
Strategies to minimize packaging waste is also important. Additionally, we actively seek opportunities to recycle and repurpose manufacturing by-products.
