How dissapointing…
I just learned that Burt’s Bees, of which I am a huge fan, has been purchased by the ever dreaded CLOROX company. I have worn their fantastic lip balm for years, even before I became a fan of natural products. Eric just bought me a new tube last weekend, however, I will wear it no more!
Here’e the kicker…
“The Burt’s Bees brand is well-anchored in sustainability and health and wellness, and we believe it will benefit from natural and ‘green’ tailwinds,” said Clorox Chief Executive Donald R. Knauss.
Might this be a ploy to momentarily divert attention for the fact that they produce INCREDIBLY toxic products that have been linked to cancer and are certainly harming the environment. I’m afraid I no longer trust that I am using a natural product, when its production is in the hands of this type of company. No, no, not me.
