I was just wondering about these products, i've never tried them and am curious. Are they any good? I need a good hand cream, body lotion. Do they sell these products in the drug store?

I've tried a few of their products - they work reasonably well. My favorite is their avocado butter hair treatment, it's so awesome! I haven't used their hand cream or lotion but at my health food store they have samples out so I'd suggest you give them a try!

I love the lip shimmer's. They are like a colored lip conditoner. Not a lipstick. Has a peppermint smell but no flavor. Rhubarb is my favorite color.

I like their lip shimmers too. I used their Hand Salve once, but it was too strong smelling for me (rosemary and lavendar, I think).

My favorite is the Lemon Butter Cutical Cream. My dry hands/cuticals can't do without it.

The Banana one has a very strong banana smell.
I've never used the almond one.

All of their lotions & creams smell too strong for me. I like the facial soaps a lot.

My daughter (16) has very dry skin and she's using Burt's Bees Milk & Honey Body Lotion. She likes it a lot. It's a light yellow color lotion with coconut smell, absorb very fast. On the bottle it said "with Vitamin E & Aloe for normal to dry skin". I think it'll be a little be too rich for normal skin.

I bought my mother-in-law the Baby Bees Lotion, think it was milk or something, and it smells good and she loves it. She's 85. They're the baby product line.

I think the packaging is the allure here. I really liked the baby lotion and diaper cream but I didn't find the rest that great. I even tried the hand salve and although it felt rich it also felt greasy

HI, I have tried Burts Bees because I thought it would work well on my skin since I'm sensative to most chemical cosmetics and skin care. I found some of their products worked and the ones that contained fragrance did not. I have since done research and found the Miessence Skin Care Line...all 100% Certified Orgainc had no problems with any of their products...they are a pleasure to use. Smile

I would be happy to send sampels if you are interested!

I love Burts Bees. My personal favourites are:
Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme (smells mediciney but it got rid of all the dry lines on my hands and I have really dry hands)
Lip balm (the original and not the Honey)
Lip gloss
Banana Hand Cream (smells just like a Banana)
Cuticle Cream
Buttermilk Lotion

That Shea butter hand cream smells so terrible! I tried it once and was almost embarassed by how bad it smelled that I've never put it on again.

I have their almond hand cream, which smells delicious but it's very very greasy when you first put it on. (Maybe do it before bedtime when you won't be touching much?) It absorbs after a few minutes and your hands are touchably soft, though.

Their lemon butter cuticle cream is divine... and it smells like a lemon drop! :)

I like two of their products but I just added a couple of the ones mentioned above to my shopping list for Florida next month. I use the Beeswax Lip Balm and the Baby Bee Buttermilk Bath Soak. The Bath Soak has a little sticker on it that says New Milder Frangrance so perhaps they are working on toning down the strong fragrances of some of their products.

I have not had good results from their face creams but my friend loves them. I did like the orange cleanser (the think one that smelled sooo yummy). I loved the banana hand cream and I also love the Coconut foot cream.

I have tried a few samples of their products including the cuticle cream and a body lotion... the only burt's bees product that i do consistently use is the lipbalm in the chapstick tube. it is great for chapped lips and has a cooling, menthol flavor.
