Get natural pampering with the sweetest finds yet from Burt’s Bees

TANYA ENBERG, Chic Savvy Travels

The magic of Burt’s Bees skin lotions, face creams, lip balms and soaps is just how gentle they are.

That’s the beauty of natural ingredients used by the earth-friendly company, and the latest arrival of affordable finds are no exception.

None of the products are tested on animals, but why would they be? Read the labels and, in place of harsh chemicals and additives, you’ll find plenty of coconut, soybean and peppermint oils, mango and sugar cane extracts and, of course, true to the influence behind its name, beeswax.

Such simple concoctions are refreshingly light on the skin so you’ll never feel weighed down.

The latest collections launched in April include Mango & Orange (two thumbs up for the subtly sweet Mango & Orange Energizing Bath Bar!), Cranberry & Pomegranate and yummy Honey and Shea. Each tantalizing combination features a soap ($7.99), body butter ($14.99) and sugar scrub ($14.99), available exclusively at The Bay.

Lip balm lovers must try Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm ($7.99). This soothing balm keeps smackers well moisturized and was recently voted one of the best new products by Canadian Living.

To purchase any of Burt’s Bees other great goodies, they are widely available in stores across Canada and the U.S.
