Vote For Natural With Burts Bees and Win a C&C T-Shirt!

Given the choice between natural and synthetic, what’s your vote? Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it looks to find out what products are truly natural. That’s why Burt’s Bees and Julianne Moore are giving consumers the opportunity to cast their votes for truly natural personal care at Burt’s Bees’ Election Day in New York City.

Like many consumers, Burt’s Bees has always believed that natural ingredients are safer and more beneficial. The trouble is, it can take a lot of reading between the lines of labels to figure out what’s natural vs. synthetic. To help consumers find what they’re really looking for in a natural product, Burt’s Bees has worked closely with the Natural Products Association and other like minded brands to develop a Natural Seal—a symbol that lets consumers know when products contain at least 95% natural ingredients. On Burt’s Bees’ Voting Day, a vote for natural is also a vote for the Natural Seal, helping make natural a clear choice after all.

To ensure that the best candidate comes out on top, “green” actress Julianne Moore will be on hand to cast the first vote for natural at the Burt’s Bees Voting Booth at Merchants’ Gate at Columbus Circle in NYC. Other NYC voters can learn more about ‘natural’, cast their vote and receive samples of Burt’s Bees products.

Most importantly, consumers across the America are invited to join Julianne and this movement, casting their votes for the natural at www.votefornatural.com, where they can also learn more about the movement as well as win prizes, including a limited-edition C&C California for Burt’s Bees T-Shirt. Each vote represents a conscious choice to use natural products over the potentially harmful synthetic alternatives as well as support for the new Natural Seal. A ‘vote’ for Natural lets the competition know that the public wants transparency in natural personal care.

Celebrate National Pollinator Week with Burts Bees

Ever thought about all the delicious and nutritious things we get from bees? It's not just honey, ladies! They produce tons of products that serve as healthy ingredients for beauty products.

June 22 – 28 is National Pollinator Week and Burt’s Bees wants to give the little pollinators their moment in the spotlight for all the work they do in providing us with healthy products that keep us looking BEE-utiful. Want to learn a little bit more about the bee crisis and what you can do to help? OK... AND win a prize??? Of course you do!!!

Bring back a BEE fact from one of the pollinator friendly resources below:

o Burt’s Bees (www.burtsbees.com)

o The Pollinator Partnership (www.pollinator.org)

o Haagen-Dazs Honeybee program (www.haagendazs.com)

Post your fact in a comment below with your email address (I'll edit it before it gets posted) and I will send the first 5 people a Radiance Kit from Burts Bees. This set includes travel sizes of their new radiance line, which uses Royal Jelly, a very special substance made by the worker bees to feed the queen bee. Royal Jelly is considered to be one of the world's most nutrient-rich substances, packed with 134 nutrients, including 17 amino acids and vitamins A, C, D and K, as well as multiple B-vitamins. No wonder it helps the queen grow to 40 times the size of worker bees and live 50 times longer. Sorry you international ladies, we can only ship within the USA.

Burt’s Bees is also giving away free seed packets on their site – so everyone can win! Check it out and love your BEE-utiful self!
