Decoding method

Since October 2013, Burt's Bees has used a common lot-code format for many cosmetic and OTC products: LLYYJJJS. LL identifies the manufacturing location, YY is the last two digits of the year, JJJ is the Julian day of manufacture, and S contains additional batch, shift, or line information. Cosmetic products are generally dated from manufacture, while OTC products such as sunscreen or acne care may carry a printed expiration date. Products with a different or shorter code should be confirmed with Burt's Bees customer service. Do not enter the barcode or product reference, and treat a decoded lot date as production information rather than proof of authenticity.

About Burt's Bees

Burt's Bees Founded in 1984 in rural Maine, USA, Burt’s Bees originated from the partnership between beekeeper Burt Shavitz and artist Roxanne Quimby, both of whom escaped busy urban life to pursue a simple, nature‑oriented lifestyle. The brand started small by selling homemade beeswax candles at local craft fairs, and its breakout beeswax lip balm, launched in 1991, quickly became an iconic best‑seller worldwide. Later acquired by Clorox in 2007, Burt’s Bees keeps its founding spirit intact and grows into a global leader in natural personal‑care industry.

Sticking to its core belief that nature offers the most reliable skincare solutions, Burt’s Bees prioritizes plant‑derived, responsibly‑sourced raw materials such as beeswax, botanical oils and herbal extracts. Most of its formulas reach over 95% natural origin, while baby‑care lines are nearly 100% natural. It avoids harsh synthetic ingredients like petroleum jelly and SLS, and clearly marks natural‑content percentage on every product for full ingredient transparency. Its product portfolio covers lip care, facial skincare, body lotion, hand repair cream and gentle baby‑care items, affordable for ordinary consumers of all ages.

Sustainability sits at the heart of Burt’s Bees corporate culture. The brand applies recycled‑material packaging, runs landfill‑free manufacturing sites, and carries out watershed restoration projects to offset water usage. Its foundation donates funds to protect honeybees and local biodiversity, echoing Roxanne Quimby’s philosophy: “We take from nature, so we must respect and preserve it”. Sold across more than 40 countries, Burt’s Bees remains a beloved everyday‑use brand, delivering accessible natural beauty while advocating eco‑friendly living for modern customers.
