    Ever since Burt's Bees got acquired by Chlorox, I kinda lost that lovin' feeling.
    I didn't know that...thanks for heads up. When did that happen?
    Clorox Bees just won't sound the same.

    A couple years ago, I think? There was a neat article about the chickie who owned Burt's Bees in a women's magazine. She seemed content with having sold BB to Chlorox, and Chlorox was keeping her on as a creative director for the product line.

    Interesting article on the Clorox deal (though not the one Knott references):

    hmmm

    I was pondering purchasing some items from honey house however have the following thought in my head.

    If the AQIS allows Burts Bees items into Australia, will they allow the Honey HOuse stuff in? I like the Burts Bees stuff & we can buy it down here now! I'd be much happier if i could support a family owned business..

    After loving and using it happily for years, I suddenly developed a severe allergy to Burts Bees lip balm....it was a reaction to the essential oils in it. It was awful!

    Now I use Dr. Hauschka's lip balm (expensive but i love it) and when on the go I carry the Kiss My Face chapstick in peach flavor. Neither has the peppermint oil etc that inflames my lips.
    I am a big Dr. Hauschka fan....especially of their Moisturizing Day Cream. After searching for decades for something light and moisturizing that won't clog my pores or feel oily or perfumey, it's the one thing my face skin just loves, once every morning.
