Just wondering if any of you use Burt's Bee's products and if so how pleased you have been with them?

Hi Ashley,

I use the lip balm, lipstick and I love the carrot moisturizing lotion.

I do. I use their cuticle cream and their zit medicine. They are awesome! The cuticle cream heals my cuticles within a day or so. (I have a bad habit of picking at them). The zit stuff ia awesome, too. I have a reoccurance of zits (and I am 45 lol!), no longer a teenager.

The lip balm is nice too.


Blessed Be!

I like the cuticle cream, too, Kim. It smells really yummy. I also use their hand salve for my german shep's nose, lips and paws. She gets really chapped in the winter. I like the newer lip balm, honey flavored? It smells just like clover, and isn't as drying as the one in the tin (at least it's drying for my lizard skin and lips).

I also like the apricot baby oil in my bath.



Just think of all of the roads there are...all of the things I haven't seen....yet.

I use the lip balm and have used the lipstick before, as well. They cost a little more, but I don't use much conventional 'make-up', so this is a little treat for me.

I use the lipbalm. My husband LOVES the Peppermint soap. We drive over an hour to this store that carries it so we can buy it!

I use the lip balm all the time, and sometimes use the lip gloss. I actually just got finished washing my hair with some Burt's Bees shampoo, the color keeper/ fennel seed type of shampoo.

I use the orange essence facial cleanser and the lip balm...yummy!!!

Hey, Eren, I heard in school yesterday not to use lavender or tree tea oil on developing boys...it inhibits testosterone levels and they can develop female sex characteristics...it was on the news!!

I have only used the lip balm, but I found it to be the best product I have ever tried for dry lips.

I use Burt's Bees for lots of things, primarily lotion and baby products. I really like their buttermilk baby bath, and apricot baby oil (it smells really good!) If you're concerned about how "natural" they are, you might want to think again before you use them though. They're marketed as super natural, and they ARE more natural than many items on the market, but they aren't totally natural; you can read about them here: http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2/search.php?scompany=Burt's%20Bees,%20Inc. (Instead of trying to read the page I linked to, click on whatever product you're interested in, and read about them individually.)

I've used the cuticle salve and it weakened already WEAK fingernails. Did the same to my MIL as well.

Every Burt's Bees product I have used I have loved. That is my favorite lip balm. We also hae a hand salve, um, I think it is called Farmer's Friend, or something like that....it is so nice on callouses from hoeing a row to callouses on your heels. I love that stuff!

I use a lot of stuff and I like it all-- lip balm, tinted moisturizer, mud mask, concealer, moisturizer, blemish stick, cuticule cream, lip shimmer, vitamin e oil, shampoo and conditioner. It's my favorite. My only complaint is that they don't have a neutral cream-colored and brown eyeshadow. They keep expanding their product line, and I can't wait to try out their new sunscreen this summer.

I love, love, love the lip balm. Nothing else works as well for me. I have used the baby bath and the baby bar on my grandchildren and I really liked those too. I buy a lot of Burt's Bees as gifts.

Ooh - Burt's Bees is my *favorite* personal care product line!! I've used many, many of their products over the years, and I do love them all (I'm currently enjoying thier deep cleaning soap bark facial cleanser - so good for winter skin!). In fact, I'm rather disappointed that they seem to have discontinued their lip-color line (lipstick only - they still have everything else). But that's alright, I tend to use Bare Minerals for most of my cosmetic needs. ;-)

Yikes! Here's the Washington Post link about lavender and tea tree oils: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/03/AR2006070300769.html

OK, girls, if you like BB's lip balm, you'll LOVE Dahlem's Soapworks lip balm!!! I never thought I would find anything better but there is no comparison.

I love Burt's Bees, I have alot of their products, but the lemonbutter cuticle cream is a favorite, as well as the lip tints...feels just like the chapstick, but has a little color.

The carrot lotion is super yummy too..

I tried the shampoo bar, and I really like it, especially for travel, when you don't want shampoo spilled all over your suitcase!

We use Burt's Bees soap on Jack and love it. Shampoo bar too. (But we're about to switch to LaMarguerite Farm's baby soap next since we just got some!) Love Burt's Bees. Have also used the hand creams and carrot facial scrubs.

I use the lip balm, hand salve-especially in winter and the almond milk salve. Yummy! I'll never buy conventional hand creams again!
