Burt's Bees Featured on SmartPlanet.com

Burt's Bees' Yola Carlough talks sustainability with Smart Planet.
"What does sustainability mean for you now, at Burt’s Bees?
We look at it through our Greater Good business model. There are three components: a focus on natural health and wellness (through our products and workplace); social equity (ranging from workplace and sourcing practices to animal welfare); and environmental positioning (reducing energy, water and overall impact).

Introducing the Natural Seal for Personal Care Products

Natural Seal

Did you know that 78% of people believe that the designation "natural" is currently regulated and 97% think it should be? The fact is, it's not.

But starting now, "natural" can — and will — have the same meaning across the natural personal care products industry.

We're proud to announce that, along with the Natural Products Association and leading natural personal care companies, Burt's Bees has developed The Natural Products Association Natural Standard for Personal Care Products. It's a universally recognized set of guidelines designed to ensure your well-being by outlining when a product can be deemed truly "natural," based on the ingredients and processes that are used to make it.

And now, products that meet this standard can proudly wear the Natural Seal. Soon, the seal will appear in stores on Burt's Bees products and other truly natural personal care products. Find out more about the guidelines set forth in The Natural Standard for Personal Care Products and what the Natural Seal means to you at The Natural Product Association website.
