Founding Year of Burt's Bees
Burt's Bees was founded in 1984. The company began as a small business focused on making natural personal care products. It was created in Maine, United States, by Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby.
Origin and Early History
Burt Shavitz started selling beeswax candles at local markets. Roxanne Quimby joined him and helped expand the product line. Together, they developed lip balms and other simple skincare items using natural ingredients. The brand's name came from Shavitz's nickname and his beekeeping background.
Growth and Current Ownership
Over time, Burt's Bees expanded into a major personal care brand. It became known for natural lip balm, skincare, and hygiene products. In 2007, the company was acquired by Clorox. Today, Burt's Bees products are sold worldwide through retailers and the official website.
