Did you watch 'How Toxic Are you?' and scare yourself about the thousands of chemicals you might take in just because you want to look, feel and smell good?
Well I did, so when I heard about this initiative I was pleased.
Burt's Bees is a lovely beauty brand - free from:
- SLS
- Parabens
- Phthalates
Following research into natural products in the market, Burt’s Bees has uncovered mass consumer confusion into what is and isn’t ‘natural’.
In an attempt to clarify the truth behind ‘natural’ Burt's Bees is launching the 'Natural Standard' - a comprehensive, universally recognised and regulated set of guidelines for all natural personal care products.
Burt’s Bees already have the support of other natural beauty brands and the Natural Products Association.
“At Burt’s Bees, we believe that truly natural personal care products are the best choice to help consumers maximize their well-being because they work in harmony with the body. Our products rely on time-tested recipes made from the most efficacious natural ingredients. Some synthetic ingredients used in personal care have suspected human health risks, such as phthalates, that Burt’s Bees believes should not be used, especially because there are safe, natural alternatives available.” - John Replogle – CEO, Burt’s Bees
Burt's Bees products are available nationwide in the UK through selected stockists including John Lewis and HQhair.com

Also highlighted on the show were the scary chemical cocktails that go into the ingredients lists for the everyday cleaning products we liberally squirt around our houses...guilty as charged...
Leading the charge into eco-friendly – or “green”- household products, San Francisco brand Method consists of a wide range of eco cleaning products from all purpose cleaners to specialist bathroom range.
According to Method ‘dirt’ isn’t just the stuff that gets between the tiles on your floor. It means the toxic chemicals that make up many household products, polluting our land with non-recyclable materials, testing products on innocent animals …these things are dirty and Method are against dirty.
Method is now available in the UK nationwide in Tesco and Sainsbury stores
