Knowing that I am slowly incorporating organic products in to my life, my mother got me two boxes of Burt's Bees products for Christmas! It's amazing, I feel like I'm in an organic spa every time I shower!
While the products aren't always 100% natural (some are), they are all 95% and above, and are all paraben-free.

One of the best products I've used so far (pertaining to hair), is the Sugarbeet and Grapefruit shampoo and conditioner. Not only does it smell amazing, but it makes your hair super shiny and doesn't dry it out. Another really good product is the Miracle Salve. Since I live in a place with very cold winters and unpredictable weather, this is awesome. It's a cream that you put on your hands before you go outside to protect your skin. The coolest thing is that it also doubles to control frizzes and fly-aways, and protects the ends of your hair during styling or harsh weather, and it doesn't make it greasy or anything! I -used it two days in a row, didn't wash my hair, and it looked just as nice as if I had washed it that day.

My favorite product so far, although it isn't for hair, is an orange peel facial cleanser. It is a thick orange gel, and it smells incredible. Best of all, it leaves your face so soft that you don't have to use lotion afterwards (which makes my face greasy), and it doesn't leave your skin tight and parched after use like other cleansers can.

Has anyone else used Burt's Bees? What do you think? What are your favorites? I would highly recommend it to everyone! As a bonus (as if awesome, organic products weren't enough!), all the packaging is recyclable!

I've been using various Burt's Bees products for about 2 years now. I getting into their Radiance line. You're right the orange peel cleanser is quite good. I found their citrus scrub to be too irritating for my dry skin.   However I will be getting their green clay mask which looks promising. Their new Milk and Shea Butter line is good. However as  someone with insanely dry skin (even when it's 90° with 90% humidity  ) their lotions aren't thick enough for me. I used that shampoo and conditioner you spoke of my hair was still insanely dry and frizzy but I recently discovered that I need cones in my hair products so that was probably why. I love their Avocado Butter Hair Treatment it's awesome. I use it wet and dry it smells like a tropical fruit salad and my hair loves it. My favorite hand cream is their Milk and Almond one it smells so good and is the only thing that has worked on my insanely dry hands.   However I am looking into trying their new hand and foot creams that come in tubes, digging things out of jars annoys me.   Glad you like them overall I'd say their pretty good stuff, especially if your skin and hair aren't as picky as mine.  

Oh and Drear you can purchase from their site and they do ship globally.  

Here's the site links (Since I'm feeling insanely helpful )

I've not had any luck with their hair products, but I love the peppermint foot cream!!!   The cuticle cream works quite well for me as well.

Aw, Midnight Angel, it's a shame that the lip balm doesn't work for you, it's the best lip balm I've found for a while!
I think it's interesting that the products don't work for a lot of you. I have really sensitive skin, and I have a type of eczema on my hands/feet called dyshidrosis. Because of this, I can't use a lot of lotions because of dyes, fragrances, etc. Burt's is one of the only brands that doesn't irritate my skin!

I gave Burts Bee a shot a while back.  The hair products did nothing for me.  I found the hand lotion and cutical creme to be nice but at the prices these products go for I passed on them.  For all natural skin care I like Kiss My Face.

I've noticed that these shampoos don't lather well! did you find that too?

i love burt's bees' night cream and face wash for my skin. i have that lovely combo of dry skin and some breakouts too. so the stuff for sensitive skin works best for me.
i haven't had as much luck with their hair products, although i liked them at first but they are pricey and can build up on my hair. for hair stuff that is still natural, i've switched to jason.
