Burt's Bees is an American personal care products subsidiary of Clorox that describes itself as an "Earth friendly, Natural Personal Care Company"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our Mission and Vision - Burt's Bees ) 〕 making products for personal care, health, beauty, and personal hygiene. As of 2007, they manufactured over 197 products for facial and body skin care, lip care, hair care, baby care, men's grooming, and outdoor remedies〔 distributed in nearly 30,000 retail outlets including grocery stores and drug store chains across the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Hong Kong, and Taiwan from their headquarters in Durham, North Carolina.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our Products ) 〕 Burt's Bees manufactures their products with natural ingredients〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Natural Ingredients vs. Non-Natural Ingredients ) 〕 using minimal processing such as distillation/condensation, extraction/steamed distillation/pressure cooking, and hydrolysis to maintain the purity of those ingredients.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Natural Processes vs. Non-Natural Processes ) 〕 In addition, every product has a "natural bar" which gives a percentage of natural ingredients in that product, often with detailed ingredient descriptions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Setting the Natural Standard – Burt's Bees ) 〕 Originating in Maine in the 1980s, the business began when co-founder Roxanne Quimby started making candles from Burt Shavitz's leftover beeswax.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our History )〕 This eventually led to their bottling and selling of honey, a practice that slowly diminished as the company evolved as a corporation. Eventually, other products using honey and beeswax, including edible spreads and furniture polish, were sold, before moving into the personal care line. In late 2007, Clorox purchased Burt's Bees for $925 Million USD.〔Farrell, Andrew. ''(Clorox To Buy Burt's Bees )'' from Forbes website.
