Tending Our Garden

Thanks so much for sharing your love of Burt’s Bees products and for providing great feedback. I noticed that many of you have inquired about specific products that have been discontinued. As any green thumb knows, a garden won’t flourish unless you routinely trim the branches, nip the buds and pull the weeds. When we choose to discontinue a product, that’s what we’re doing – creating space for new and better things to grow. Like you, we grow attached to our products, so the decision to discontinue one is very difficult. However, we believe that like all things, our product offerings must cycle and renew themselves, so we launch new products to better meet your needs. We make products for you, so we rely on your comments and feedback to help us thrive so we can offer you the very best.

Please keep your comments coming – we are listening. You told us how much you missed our Fig Lipstick, so we created a Lip Shimmer in Fig. You craved Bay Rum, so we made it available online as well as launched a whole new Men’s Line – Natural Skin Care for Men. For those asking for more bar soaps, we have three new bar soaps coming out in January 2008 and we already have a bar soap just for Men. Due to the format of our blog, we cannot address each product question individually, but I encourage you to email us at info@burtsbees.com with any specific product questions or leave your email address after your comment, and we will contact you.
