Burt's Bees

The OG natural personal care brand — accessible, affordable, and widely available. Leaping Bunny certified, uses recycled packaging where possible, and sources beeswax responsibly. Owned by Clorox since 2007, which dilutes the "natural" positioning. Great price point for affordability-focused content.

70/100

Hummlan Sustainability Score

Sustainability Breakdown

Beeswax sourcing supports beekeeping; no formal brand-level biodiversity programme.

Mostly single-use plastic packaging with some recycled content; no refill or take-back programme.

No brand-level emissions targets published; footprint sits inside Clorox's corporate reporting.

Leaping Bunny certified; responsible beeswax sourcing; natural ingredient base, though some synthetic preservatives remain and fragrance disclosure is partial.

Large corporate supply chain (Clorox, owned since 2007) with responsible-sourcing programmes; brand-level transparency is limited.
