Burt's Bees opposes the use of Parabens and Sulfates in its products. The health and beauty sectors have a long history of using products with dubious components. On the other hand, Burt's Bees took a different approach and took a stand to source the ingredients that promote healthy skin growth exclusively. As a result, none of its products include any of the following: parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS simply because the value of your skin is so much higher.
