I would not buy Burt's Bee's anything. Now that the company is owned by Clorox, whose main product is the OH so friendly bleach, toxic cat litters, and the always non-earth friendly Liquid Plummer. I have no interest in supporting them by buying their products.
Although they are trying to hop into the “green” market by buying Burt’s Bees and selling Greenworks, it doesn’t stop the fact that overall, the company is not as “green” as they would like people to believe.

So what if they're now owned by Clorox? Burt's Bees still are great products. I use their baby wash for my kids and a whole ton of their adult stuff. It's one of the very few brands that doesn't break me out all over.
Get over it already. You can be ecologically conservative and not be so pathalogically (and unilaterally) anti-big business.

I have no problem with big business as long as they are doing things right.
I agree that Burt's is a good company. But now their product supports a company that is so NOT ecologically conservative, I see no reason to support them. That's all :)

I think Clorox is going in the right direction, though, with its new greener line.
Of course, I've been using Burt's since before they were bought out, and unless Clorox makes them change their formulas, I'm sticking with them.
Nothing against you personally, there's just a lot of people who rail against Burt's simply because they were bought by a bigger company, without any regard to the actual quality of Burt's products. I can understand not buying something out of principle, but not everybody comes to these principles by doing research.
So what should Clorox do? Ideally, they should phase out their less-than-eco-friendly products, but that would take time (and lose them money). Money that's going into R&D/production on the Greenworks line. They're doing a good thing - making safer products available to the masses. I've also noticed that Burt's products are showing up in new venues since they've been bought by Clorox - again, they're making these products available to a wider market. More people using friendly products, the better.
